The art of packing light! :)

I started packing my stuff yesterday, that is a week before our trip. The weather has been so bipolar lately, I might wear something I'll end up wearing on my trip and no time to dry them. Which happened to me too many times in the past.

But before doing so, I had to check more than three times about the weather there just to make sure I pack the right clothes. Currently it is summer in Hong Kong, which is perfect! I'm known to be very kuripot, so I didn't pay for my luggage to be checked in. =P and did I tell you my fare was on sale too? :)

I took out all my short dresses, sheer tops, and shorts! I didn't want to maximize the allotted weight for my hand carry baggage, because I just know i'll be doing tad bit of shopping. (A bit, really. I promise!) So these are the things I considered while packing, and I say it was a huge success! :) My hand carry baggage? 3 kilos! *happy dance*

Travel light tips from the non pro: 
1) I carried with me only 1 set of sleeping ternos. I bet we won't be doing a lot of sleeping too!

2) Bring shorts, and sheer tops! Sheer tops are surprisingly very light weight and really easy to mix and max with your accessories, and scarves.

3) Bring 1 pair of footwear only. Be it a classic thong sandals, loafers, or your birks that will complement your every outfit.

4) Bring 1 bag that will look good in every outfit, so you don't have to bring extra. Classic bags usually does the magic :)

5) Light to carry, and easy to move around kind of shorts are a must in your bag. 

6) Pack with you less make up! I don't really use a lot of my make up so it wasn't hard for me. I leave everything to my eye brow pencil, pressed powder, and my trusty Benetint.

7) Bolex said, night life in hong kong is great. Instead of packing my heels with me, I brought a pair of wedge to wear going there, and change to my flops na lang when we get there. 

Now, 6 more days till our trip! :)
