A few months ago, I went 0:01:04.625 --> 0:01:08.625 on a four week trip and made all the packing mistakes. Today, 0:01:08.705 --> 0:01:11.825 I'm sharing my mus to have suitcase organization tips, what 0:01:11.985 --> 0:01:15.065 to pack, and how to stay stylish and practical no 0:01:15.105 --> 0:01:18.345 matter where you're headed. To dive into all things fashion 0:01:18.385 --> 0:01:21.305 and travel. I've brought back my fabulous friend who also 0:01:21.585 --> 0:01:23.665 went away a few months ago. She's the co founder 0:01:23.705 --> 0:01:26.785 of Mama Maya Miya Friedman. Mia. Welcome back to the show. 0:01:27.105 --> 0:01:29.185 So good to be here and also happy New Year. 0:01:29.545 --> 0:01:32.865 I'm so excited because my mind is moving towards the 0:01:32.865 --> 0:01:34.065 holidays that I'm planning. 0:01:34.145 --> 0:01:35.865 Yes, you know a few months ago you and I 0:01:35.945 --> 0:01:37.505 both went away, correct. 0:01:37.145 --> 0:01:39.065 And it's like you look at a year and you 0:01:39.105 --> 0:01:41.065 think sometimes that's what helps you get through the year, 0:01:41.105 --> 0:01:42.465 and you go, Okay, well, I'm going to do this, 0:01:42.825 --> 0:01:44.065 and when I want to try and do this year 0:01:44.065 --> 0:01:46.385 as I want to try and do some time in Copenhagen, 0:01:46.425 --> 0:01:49.465 which I've always imagined and hoped to go and visit. 0:01:49.545 --> 0:01:52.345 We did that episode about my obsession with Copenhagen fashion. 0:01:52.785 --> 0:01:56.465 I get a lot of joy in planning my outfits 0:01:56.505 --> 0:01:57.465 and planning my pack. 0:01:57.505 --> 0:02:00.985 You're packing, what is your general packing strategy? 0:02:01.985 --> 0:02:05.505 Panic? No, So what I do. A game changer for 0:02:05.585 --> 0:02:07.825 me is to have a rack. I've got a little 0:02:07.825 --> 0:02:10.065 disposable rack that caused me like, I don't know, dollars 0:02:10.105 --> 0:02:14.225 or something that I haul out and I don't do 0:02:14.305 --> 0:02:16.865 this at the last minute. Usually in the weeks leading 0:02:16.945 --> 0:02:19.145 up to Every time I think about something that I 0:02:19.185 --> 0:02:21.785 want to wear or that would be good, I'll pop 0:02:21.825 --> 0:02:24.145 it on that rack so that it means that when 0:02:24.145 --> 0:02:26.465 I start, I've got that as an option. 0:02:26.625 --> 0:02:26.825 Yes. 0:02:26.905 --> 0:02:28.745 The other thing that I've learned, I know that people 0:02:28.785 --> 0:02:31.945 have those formulas like three tops, two pants. Oh no, 0:02:32.185 --> 0:02:34.305 I find that doesn't work in my brain. I can't 0:02:34.305 --> 0:02:37.105 do travel maths. So what I've seen a better way 0:02:37.145 --> 0:02:40.505 to do it is to plan actual outfits and then 0:02:40.545 --> 0:02:42.345 have a broad color palette. 0:02:41.945 --> 0:02:43.865 So it's not a capsule but not capsule, which was 0:02:43.905 --> 0:02:44.545 my next question. 0:02:44.585 --> 0:02:47.305 And then the mistake I don't make anymore is packing 0:02:47.305 --> 0:02:50.345 for a person who I'm not so holiday maya actually 0:02:50.385 --> 0:02:53.145 doesn't exist. If I don't wear it here, I won't 0:02:53.145 --> 0:02:55.225 wear it there exactly, no matter where there is. 0:02:55.505 --> 0:02:56.185 What about you? 0:02:56.465 --> 0:02:58.665 Okay, Well, a couple of months ago I did a 0:02:58.705 --> 0:03:01.665 big trip and part of it, well two parts of 0:03:01.665 --> 0:03:03.625 it were quite cold and the middle part was hot. 0:03:03.945 --> 0:03:06.265 That was stressful, But I was packing for a family. 0:03:06.345 --> 0:03:08.425 My husband, well, he's saw a pat for himself and 0:03:08.465 --> 0:03:11.305 a child. I have so many hacks, I have so 0:03:11.305 --> 0:03:13.305 many tips, so many what not to do. 0:03:13.425 --> 0:03:14.905 That's a high degree of difficulty. 0:03:14.945 --> 0:03:16.185 I hope you're not going to tell me that you 0:03:16.225 --> 0:03:17.865 all want with hand luggage, because then I have to 0:03:17.945 --> 0:03:18.625 leave the studio. 0:03:18.785 --> 0:03:20.625 I had to purchase an extra suitcase to come home. 0:03:20.705 --> 0:03:21.025 Thank you. 0:03:21.665 --> 0:03:25.145 So firstly, depending on your accommodation and what was good. 0:03:25.225 --> 0:03:27.225 We had a mix of everything. So first stop, we 0:03:27.305 --> 0:03:31.145 stayed with friends in their house, second stop hotel, third 0:03:31.145 --> 0:03:34.665 stop apartment rented apartments. Yeah, I had every version. So 0:03:34.745 --> 0:03:37.305 I pack a little tupperware container with some washing powder, 0:03:37.745 --> 0:03:40.505 some pegs on top clothes, and that's for your hand 0:03:40.625 --> 0:03:42.625 washing if you desperately need to hand wash. 0:03:42.785 --> 0:03:45.465 That's so clever because I stay in hotels, but I 0:03:45.505 --> 0:03:46.745 will always just refuse. 0:03:46.865 --> 0:03:48.945 It's so excited. Like twelve dollars for a G string, 0:03:49.065 --> 0:03:50.345 you could buy another G string. 0:03:50.425 --> 0:03:52.505 No, you hand wash and then you've got your little 0:03:52.505 --> 0:03:54.265 pegs and you just kind of peg wherever you can. 0:03:54.385 --> 0:03:57.745 That's a game changer. I know you like packing cubes. Yeah, 0:03:57.745 --> 0:04:00.305 I do compression packing cube. Yes, so I have several 0:04:00.345 --> 0:04:03.025 to explain to you. So compression packing cubes are great 0:04:03.105 --> 0:04:05.185 in that you know how your suitcase has the zip 0:04:05.185 --> 0:04:08.265 and then the extra zip. It's that right, So I 0:04:08.385 --> 0:04:11.025 use those for big things, and then I have smaller 0:04:11.185 --> 0:04:14.505 various things like what say, like a pile of jumpers 0:04:14.625 --> 0:04:17.625 or T shirts or whatever it may be. And then 0:04:17.665 --> 0:04:19.905 I use smaller ones that are a very thin mesh 0:04:19.945 --> 0:04:21.785 and you can see through them. And that's for smaller 0:04:21.825 --> 0:04:25.065 things like bras under these swimmers. Yea, the compression ones 0:04:25.065 --> 0:04:27.305 are great, but they're actually a little bit thicker and 0:04:27.305 --> 0:04:30.345 that all adds up interesting. Yes, I have several types. Okay, 0:04:30.665 --> 0:04:34.025 if anyone is going somewhere really cold, there's this kit 0:04:34.105 --> 0:04:36.985 on Amazon that will change the game. It is packing 0:04:37.025 --> 0:04:40.825 cubes but with a little electric vacuum and they vacuum. 0:04:40.945 --> 0:04:41.465 Oh wow. 0:04:41.585 --> 0:04:43.825 Yeah. So if you've got puffy jackets or ski suits 0:04:44.145 --> 0:04:47.585 and you take that, or just jumpers in a coat anything, yeah. 0:04:47.345 --> 0:04:49.345 Well that's it. And so they're fantastic. It comes in 0:04:49.385 --> 0:04:51.145 a huge kit. I think it's about fifty bucks. So 0:04:51.505 --> 0:04:54.105 depending on if you're going hot or cold, there's different 0:04:54.145 --> 0:04:55.025 cubes for your life. 0:04:55.105 --> 0:04:56.945 I love cubes because then you can also just leave 0:04:56.985 --> 0:04:59.185 them in there. Yeah, because I'm not an unpacker. 0:04:59.665 --> 0:05:02.385 Well yes, but then I found myself rummaging, I guess 0:05:02.385 --> 0:05:03.985 because I was trying to dress my son as well. 0:05:04.105 --> 0:05:05.905 So the ones that you can't really see through that 0:05:05.945 --> 0:05:08.385 the compression ones. I ended up putting a post it 0:05:08.425 --> 0:05:12.145 with like Alexander tops Lee jeans clever. That's important. And 0:05:12.185 --> 0:05:16.425 then Kmart have these fantastic packing cubes essentially for shoes. 0:05:16.505 --> 0:05:18.345 So it's a big zippy thing. You zip it open 0:05:18.345 --> 0:05:21.345 and it fits six pairs of shoes, slides in. It's 0:05:21.345 --> 0:05:23.465 soft like a packing cube fabric, and then you zip 0:05:23.505 --> 0:05:26.225 it shut. So no dirty shoes in your suitcase because 0:05:26.225 --> 0:05:28.425 I used to wrap them with plastic bags. Yeah, so 0:05:28.425 --> 0:05:30.305 they're fantastic. So I took a couple of those. I 0:05:30.345 --> 0:05:33.585 think they're about six bucks each. Most hotels have shocking, 0:05:34.025 --> 0:05:37.665 shocking lighting, So I've got a little Amazon mirror that 0:05:37.865 --> 0:05:40.785 folds and it's led in lights up so you can 0:05:40.785 --> 0:05:42.705 sit it on your bedside or at the desk or 0:05:42.745 --> 0:05:44.985 by the window. I cannot live without that. That was 0:05:45.025 --> 0:05:48.305 really helpful. I've always talked about a travel steamer. Camart 0:05:48.345 --> 0:05:50.385 recently or a couple of months ago came out with 0:05:50.425 --> 0:05:52.865 an even smaller one. I think it's about twenty five 0:05:52.905 --> 0:05:55.665 dollars and it is brilliant. That's brilliance if you're staying 0:05:55.665 --> 0:05:57.945 in a nice hotel, you can ask for a steamer 0:05:58.065 --> 0:06:00.465 correct or an iron, said, I don't an iron. But 0:06:00.625 --> 0:06:04.025 if you're staying in an airbnb, yeah, we're at friends places. Yes, 0:06:04.265 --> 0:06:06.745 Oh you're always running late. Who's got time to call? Wait? 0:06:06.985 --> 0:06:09.065 Give it back. But my other trick is if you're 0:06:09.065 --> 0:06:11.105 having a shower, are you wearing just satin or silk 0:06:11.225 --> 0:06:13.305 or light weight cotton? Just hang it on a hanger 0:06:13.425 --> 0:06:15.025 in the bathroom share for me. 0:06:15.265 --> 0:06:15.945 Oh it does. 0:06:16.025 --> 0:06:17.585 You've just got to pull on it a bit. 0:06:17.585 --> 0:06:17.865 Do you. 0:06:18.025 --> 0:06:18.265 Yeah. 0:06:18.465 --> 0:06:21.105 I find the hair dryer will work in an emergency. 0:06:21.225 --> 0:06:21.945 That's a good idea. 0:06:22.105 --> 0:06:23.905 Clothes on and just blast yourself with. 0:06:23.825 --> 0:06:25.945 The hair dryer, that's a great idea. Or not on, 0:06:26.225 --> 0:06:28.505 or hang it over the door, hang it over the 0:06:28.505 --> 0:06:30.665 back of the door. Because my husband tried to steam 0:06:30.705 --> 0:06:32.065 his shirt with the steamer with it on. 0:06:33.585 --> 0:06:34.265 That's a trap. 0:06:34.385 --> 0:06:36.825 Yes, he's got a lot of scars. I have these 0:06:36.825 --> 0:06:39.745 little fantastic things. They're called coat hanger extenders, because no 0:06:39.785 --> 0:06:41.585 matter where you stay, you get like four or five 0:06:41.625 --> 0:06:44.025 coat hangers someone. They look a little like a little 0:06:44.025 --> 0:06:45.505 figure eight and then you just hook it over that 0:06:45.545 --> 0:06:46.985 and then you hook the next run. And when I 0:06:47.025 --> 0:06:49.785 do whole outfits with these little extenders. 0:06:49.825 --> 0:06:52.465 So do you have any garment bags that you like? 0:06:52.465 --> 0:06:54.465 Do you travel with any? I suppose it depends, like 0:06:54.545 --> 0:06:57.345 going to Melbourne for two days for work is different 0:06:57.425 --> 0:06:58.185 to going. 0:06:58.185 --> 0:06:59.865 No, But do you mean garment bag like a big 0:06:59.905 --> 0:07:01.345 long dress Exactly. 0:07:01.425 --> 0:07:04.745 Sometimes if I've got somewhere and I need a particular outfit, 0:07:05.465 --> 0:07:07.905 I'll hang it inside so that I can straight away 0:07:07.945 --> 0:07:08.385 just hang. 0:07:08.265 --> 0:07:09.705 It on the whole outfit. I've never thought of that. 0:07:10.145 --> 0:07:12.185 Yeah, but it takes a lot of room, Yeah, it does. 0:07:12.305 --> 0:07:14.025 These little things are tiny, and they come a pack 0:07:14.065 --> 0:07:16.225 of like fifty and I use them at home too 0:07:16.265 --> 0:07:18.385 to plan my outfits. They're really handy. And my husband 0:07:18.425 --> 0:07:19.825 was like, they're the hangars, and I was like, here go, 0:07:20.145 --> 0:07:22.825 I've just turned one into four. If you're traveling with family, 0:07:22.905 --> 0:07:25.225 my biggest tip is and touch what. I've never had 0:07:25.225 --> 0:07:27.945 a missing suitcase yet, but put a few essentials for 0:07:27.985 --> 0:07:31.305 everyone in each suitcase, like Undy's. I mean, not a toothbrush, 0:07:31.305 --> 0:07:33.105 you can buy them, but Undy's in one set of clothes, 0:07:33.185 --> 0:07:36.265 just in case one goes missing. Air tags, of course. 0:07:36.585 --> 0:07:39.225 I also put an air tag in my passport wallet. 0:07:39.585 --> 0:07:41.625 Yes, my daughter did that. When she traveled over so 0:07:41.745 --> 0:07:44.105 that's very useful. 0:07:44.225 --> 0:07:46.025 Yes. And then there's this little watch you can buy 0:07:46.185 --> 0:07:48.185 with an air tag on the back of you're traveling 0:07:48.185 --> 0:07:49.985 with your child, so I put the air tag on 0:07:49.985 --> 0:07:51.705 the back of him and he wears his little watch 0:07:52.105 --> 0:07:52.985 just because he's a runner. 0:07:53.185 --> 0:07:53.505 Clever. 0:07:53.825 --> 0:07:58.265 Yeah, so your valuable things, your child got a runner exactly, 0:07:58.345 --> 0:07:59.065 so they're handy. 0:07:59.385 --> 0:07:59.585 Now. 0:07:59.625 --> 0:08:02.385 I got so many questions about safety and handbags and 0:08:02.425 --> 0:08:05.025 walking around. So my main tip is if you're going 0:08:05.065 --> 0:08:07.905 to a busy city and you know, not the tourists 0:08:08.025 --> 0:08:10.785 particularly obvious, but you know oftentimes you're looking at maps 0:08:10.785 --> 0:08:12.945 and people like there's a tourist. So I would do 0:08:13.145 --> 0:08:16.305 a crossbody bag at the front, or quite a cool 0:08:16.345 --> 0:08:20.225 bum bag verstsy do this awesome crossbody that then changes 0:08:20.265 --> 0:08:22.465 into a bum bag, but it's still their thatched leather 0:08:22.585 --> 0:08:23.305 like it's awesome. 0:08:23.705 --> 0:08:25.945 See with bumbags, I never wear them around my waist. 0:08:26.025 --> 0:08:29.025 I always wear them across body so that the bum 0:08:29.105 --> 0:08:31.265 part is there across your chest. 0:08:31.425 --> 0:08:33.305 I wear it to the side. And then if it's 0:08:33.305 --> 0:08:35.545 if you're going somewhere cold, I suggest putting your crossbody 0:08:35.625 --> 0:08:38.025 or your bum bag on venue coat. I mean you've 0:08:38.025 --> 0:08:39.625 got to have your wits about you, but you just 0:08:39.625 --> 0:08:41.865 don't want something to go missing. And in there is 0:08:41.865 --> 0:08:44.745 obviously my wallet and my phone or whatever. If you 0:08:44.785 --> 0:08:47.145 are shopping in the EU, take your passport if you're 0:08:47.145 --> 0:08:48.625 going to buy something fancy, so you can get the 0:08:48.705 --> 0:08:51.425 VAT bag. Since Brexit, you can't get the VAT back 0:08:51.465 --> 0:08:54.185 in the UK, which sucks because tax ads up, so 0:08:54.225 --> 0:08:55.345 you might have that on you. 0:08:55.265 --> 0:08:57.425 And also leave some time at the airport when you're 0:08:57.465 --> 0:08:57.785 coming back. 0:08:57.865 --> 0:08:59.985 Well, I was going to do that and the line 0:09:00.025 --> 0:09:01.825 was literally like four hours, so I just do it 0:09:01.865 --> 0:09:04.585 as I go okay at the shop. Oh yeah. And 0:09:04.625 --> 0:09:06.585 then my other bag that I just have and my 0:09:06.665 --> 0:09:09.625 husband and I share is just a big canvas toe. 0:09:10.025 --> 0:09:11.865 I've got a long shomp, one of those zip shut 0:09:11.945 --> 0:09:13.225 ones that's twenty years older. 0:09:13.305 --> 0:09:15.785 It's a brand new falls into nothing yep. 0:09:15.785 --> 0:09:19.345 And with that there's water, bottles, snacks, sunscreen, umbrella, whatever 0:09:19.385 --> 0:09:21.345 you need. So if someone happened to steal that, not 0:09:21.385 --> 0:09:24.185 the end of your life. But everything's really safely on you. 0:09:24.625 --> 0:09:27.385 I always pack a few large garbage bags. You need them. 0:09:27.545 --> 0:09:29.465 It might be wet clothes, it might be dirty clothes. 0:09:29.545 --> 0:09:32.065 There's a reason to have a few large garbage bags 0:09:32.065 --> 0:09:32.825 in your suitcase. 0:09:33.105 --> 0:09:35.625 But if you're away for a long time, what do 0:09:35.665 --> 0:09:38.265 you then? Do you just carry around garbage bags of 0:09:38.265 --> 0:09:39.145 wet clothes. 0:09:38.865 --> 0:09:39.425 For two weeks? 0:09:39.465 --> 0:09:42.625 Sorry? What I mean is say you're changing hotels or something. No, no, no, 0:09:42.865 --> 0:09:44.545 you get to the next location and then you hang 0:09:44.585 --> 0:09:46.945 them up. Or if it's swimmers, you know oftentimes like 0:09:46.985 --> 0:09:49.545 for example, we didn't fly or six pm, but my 0:09:49.585 --> 0:09:51.945 son w to swim all day quickly change in wet. 0:09:51.945 --> 0:09:53.825 So when you say garbage bag, you don't mean like 0:09:53.865 --> 0:09:58.345 a big, like fifty liter bit I really, yeah, why not? 0:09:58.505 --> 0:10:01.185 Just like a plastic bag. Not that we're meant to 0:10:01.185 --> 0:10:01.785 have them, That's. 0:10:01.665 --> 0:10:03.105 What I's gon to say. Where you're gonna get them from? 0:10:03.185 --> 0:10:06.545 They're impossible. Everything's paper, which is good. And that's another tip. 0:10:06.585 --> 0:10:08.745 It's raining and your shop at ZrH and M forget it. 0:10:08.745 --> 0:10:11.745 Those bags just melt to the pavement. So plastic bags 0:10:11.745 --> 0:10:15.065 are handy. A big reusable garbage bag. I always pack 0:10:15.105 --> 0:10:17.785 a small stain remover pen. This is very organized. 0:10:17.905 --> 0:10:18.425 Wow. 0:10:18.585 --> 0:10:20.705 Yeah, Because if you're like you know, going out for 0:10:20.785 --> 0:10:23.265 fancy dinner and you're wearing a nice white shirt or whatever, 0:10:23.385 --> 0:10:24.545 also I have a child, So you can get this 0:10:24.545 --> 0:10:26.465 little kit from Woolies and it's a tiny pan and 0:10:26.465 --> 0:10:27.265 a tiny spray. 0:10:27.385 --> 0:10:30.065 I don't understand how anyone can travel with anything white. 0:10:30.305 --> 0:10:33.945 I wore mostly white, and I got so many questions 0:10:33.985 --> 0:10:37.225 about that. How but what do you mean, like, what's 0:10:37.265 --> 0:10:38.505 the difference between white and black? 0:10:38.585 --> 0:10:41.665 Because every time I wear something white, I have my 0:10:41.745 --> 0:10:45.305 trick where I spray hair spray the collar, which sometimes 0:10:45.345 --> 0:10:47.105 will give me two wears out of a white thing, 0:10:47.345 --> 0:10:50.145 but usually it's one where per white rabbit. 0:10:50.345 --> 0:10:53.785 But I wouldn't wear a T shirt twice anyway, would you? Okay? 0:10:53.785 --> 0:10:56.825 When I'm traveling, Hell, yeah, I'm shitzy. 0:10:57.145 --> 0:11:00.705 Really, I wash everything anyway. Okay, yeah, so a little 0:11:01.065 --> 0:11:03.705 stain remover thing is always handy. Check your hair tools 0:11:03.745 --> 0:11:05.185 to make sure that they're compatible if you're going to 0:11:05.225 --> 0:11:08.905 the US, usually UK and Europe, and I think all 0:11:08.985 --> 0:11:10.865 the Asian countries are fine. But I have the little 0:11:10.865 --> 0:11:14.465 GHD travel hair dry. It's tiny, folds in half goes 0:11:14.505 --> 0:11:16.665 like that and it's fabulous, just as good as a 0:11:16.705 --> 0:11:19.305 normal one. That's really good. You can buy take my 0:11:20.025 --> 0:11:23.305 I'm so addicted to my dieson air straight that I 0:11:23.345 --> 0:11:27.145 travel with it. Okay, well, that's incredible. I'm sure it is. Yeah, 0:11:27.145 --> 0:11:28.785 that's it. And you know, if you're in a hotel, 0:11:28.785 --> 0:11:30.945 they'll probably have a hair dryer. But I'm just I 0:11:31.065 --> 0:11:34.505 like to have mine. Yeah. Ziplock bags are fantastic, four 0:11:34.585 --> 0:11:37.585 beauty on the plane, snacks when you're out and about. 0:11:37.585 --> 0:11:39.465 If there's a buffet and you want to stock up, 0:11:39.505 --> 0:11:41.425 I just always have, you know, sandwich size and big 0:11:41.465 --> 0:11:44.265 size ziplock bags. Now, this is the best hack ever 0:11:44.345 --> 0:11:46.745 I've talked on this show about panty liners a lot 0:11:47.265 --> 0:11:50.385 in the pit of your jacket or a nit if 0:11:50.385 --> 0:11:52.225 you've got a t underneath. That's how you wear those 0:11:52.265 --> 0:11:54.625 several times so you don't get fitzy or smelly or 0:11:54.625 --> 0:11:55.465 deodor anyth. 0:11:55.265 --> 0:11:57.025 So what do you do do you literally stick it 0:11:57.065 --> 0:11:59.345 to your armpit? No, you stick it. 0:11:59.305 --> 0:12:02.545 To the jacket, so the absorbent pad pit is under 0:12:02.585 --> 0:12:05.225 your arm. You don't put a sticky bit to your armpit. 0:12:05.385 --> 0:12:07.825 It got confused, Okay, I thought you stick it to 0:12:07.865 --> 0:12:08.345 your arm pit. 0:12:08.425 --> 0:12:10.825 They're also a great way to feel. But then when 0:12:10.825 --> 0:12:13.745 I was overseas, I thankfully was trying to find a 0:12:13.785 --> 0:12:18.065 bathroom and couldn't wander into this weird old arcade came 0:12:18.105 --> 0:12:20.625 across his vintage shoe store and bought the most beautiful 0:12:20.665 --> 0:12:22.785 vintage shoes from the seventies that had never been worn. 0:12:22.945 --> 0:12:25.425 Twenty yero Happy days. Then we'll go out to dinner 0:12:25.425 --> 0:12:28.425 that night. But they haven't had that resoling thing he done, 0:12:28.425 --> 0:12:30.265 which is also like fifty dollars when they put that 0:12:30.345 --> 0:12:32.305 kind of rubber thing on the bottom of a leather salt. 0:12:32.905 --> 0:12:34.745 So I just got out my panty liners, cut out 0:12:34.745 --> 0:12:37.145 a circle, stuck it on and then there was grip 0:12:37.185 --> 0:12:38.345 and I could wear my shoes. 0:12:38.585 --> 0:12:41.665 So hang on. You stuck the sticky side onto the shoe. 0:12:41.465 --> 0:12:43.465 Yeah, onto the leather, and then I wasn't gonna slip 0:12:43.465 --> 0:12:45.345 on the pavement because it had like panty liner. 0:12:45.625 --> 0:12:46.825 That's very clever. 0:12:46.905 --> 0:12:49.065 Panty liners will change your life. Just have them on 0:12:49.105 --> 0:12:50.825 you all the time and you will see they're like 0:12:50.865 --> 0:12:51.945 the Magiva of travel. 0:12:51.985 --> 0:12:55.745 Okay, it's the only permissible use of the word panty loud. 0:12:55.865 --> 0:12:57.065 It's true. It's so creepy. 0:12:57.145 --> 0:12:59.985 And lastly, before we go into actual outfits, I just 0:13:00.025 --> 0:13:02.425 have a lot of little small mesh bags. These are 0:13:02.465 --> 0:13:04.745 from Amazon for like five cents. That's my little makeup 0:13:04.905 --> 0:13:09.545 that's my teeth, floss, hair ties. It just keeps everything. 0:13:09.225 --> 0:13:11.665 Source the keys that you can see into them. 0:13:11.465 --> 0:13:13.745 And mesh takes up no space, so you know, put 0:13:13.785 --> 0:13:16.585 meds in one, make out whatever. These will change your 0:13:16.625 --> 0:13:18.025 life and you can buy them on Amazon in all 0:13:18.025 --> 0:13:19.145 different color and what's good. 0:13:19.145 --> 0:13:22.025 I'm often asked about how I change bags. That's how 0:13:22.025 --> 0:13:24.225 I do it, say a lot, that's how I change bags. 0:13:24.265 --> 0:13:38.785 I've got that much my key. I want to ask 0:13:38.825 --> 0:13:42.505 you about the plane, what to wear and what to pack? 0:13:42.985 --> 0:13:44.785 How do you decide what to wear? Because I always 0:13:44.865 --> 0:13:47.545 imagine that I want to look nice in an airport, 0:13:47.585 --> 0:13:49.825 but then I always just need to be comfortable, agreed? 0:13:49.825 --> 0:13:51.785 Do you have to be comfortable? Honestly? Also on the 0:13:51.825 --> 0:13:53.825 whole holiday, you're not going to wear something uncomfortable. 0:13:53.825 --> 0:13:55.345 Also, who cares seeing you in an airport? 0:13:55.425 --> 0:13:58.465 Who cares? Well, Australia's so far away. You pretty much 0:13:58.465 --> 0:14:01.105 get off anywhere feeling very disheveled. Yes, see what I 0:14:01.145 --> 0:14:04.145 feel as best disheveled as you can. So my recommendation, 0:14:04.225 --> 0:14:07.185 after so much trial and error, is a knit pant, 0:14:07.425 --> 0:14:09.425 but they have to have pockets, so you know. Toglow 0:14:09.825 --> 0:14:13.145 have a famous pair that they've just recently added pockets 0:14:13.145 --> 0:14:17.465 to because everyone said, please pockets, so drawstring. They're lightweight enough. 0:14:17.785 --> 0:14:19.145 Right, they won't crease. 0:14:19.465 --> 0:14:21.345 No, no, no, they won't crease. And they're like them 0:14:21.865 --> 0:14:24.945 their pants, but they're knitted. Correct. There's another pair that 0:14:24.985 --> 0:14:27.185 are great. They're not knitted, but they're buy Lululemon. But 0:14:27.225 --> 0:14:29.865 they're not for exercise. They're just a really comfy, like 0:14:29.945 --> 0:14:32.625 a lounge wear pant. Yes, and then they've got pockets 0:14:32.625 --> 0:14:34.625 as well, and then they're not tied at the bottom 0:14:34.625 --> 0:14:35.825 because I want to wear a trainer. 0:14:36.145 --> 0:14:37.465 Do you always do them in black? 0:14:37.545 --> 0:14:37.625 No? 0:14:37.745 --> 0:14:39.865 I don't. Actually I do like a car Qui or 0:14:39.905 --> 0:14:42.745 a gray. I feel like black shows up dirt almost 0:14:42.785 --> 0:14:43.785 as much as white. 0:14:43.545 --> 0:14:45.545 And it's true. And what do you wear with them? 0:14:45.745 --> 0:14:48.185 So then I'll wear a tea and then over the 0:14:48.225 --> 0:14:50.905 top to look relatively smart, I often do a knitted 0:14:51.185 --> 0:14:53.905 cardigan blazer hybrid. So what I wore on my latest 0:14:53.905 --> 0:14:58.505 trip was like a Zara oversized knitted cardigan, but it 0:14:58.545 --> 0:15:00.425 had some structure and I wore it a lot on 0:15:00.465 --> 0:15:02.505 the trip. There's heaps of brands doing them at the moment. 0:15:02.585 --> 0:15:04.185 Cos has a beautiful knit blazer. 0:15:04.345 --> 0:15:06.265 Because you want to be comfortable and be able to sleep. 0:15:06.265 --> 0:15:08.025 I'm always either boiling hot or freezing or. 0:15:08.105 --> 0:15:10.065 I was boiling hot. But then I wore a lot 0:15:10.105 --> 0:15:12.825 on the trip because it wasn't total sloth vibes. 0:15:12.825 --> 0:15:15.505 And it didn't stink because could you wash it or 0:15:15.545 --> 0:15:17.865 you just had your palty liners in the I. 0:15:17.825 --> 0:15:19.625 Actually ended up taking it off. I was hot and 0:15:19.705 --> 0:15:22.105 just wearing my tea. Yeah. Right, And then I've got 0:15:22.385 --> 0:15:24.785 socks and trainers and trainers that I'm gonna wear a 0:15:24.785 --> 0:15:26.305 lot on the trip because I'm not wasting them. 0:15:26.345 --> 0:15:28.185 How do you choose which trainers to take? 0:15:28.305 --> 0:15:28.505 Oh? 0:15:28.625 --> 0:15:30.825 This was hard for me. So I ended up taking 0:15:30.865 --> 0:15:34.305 New Balance and my hon A Suker Tigers. I didn't 0:15:34.305 --> 0:15:36.025 take any of my summers or my added asks because 0:15:36.025 --> 0:15:38.305 they're not comfy enough. And they were great. So I 0:15:38.305 --> 0:15:41.225 wore New Balance on the plane, and the knitted pants 0:15:41.305 --> 0:15:43.145 kind of covered it enough so if it's tight, it 0:15:43.225 --> 0:15:45.025 kind of looks like you're going to the gym. Yeah, 0:15:45.065 --> 0:15:47.545 but they were fantastic. And then in my carry on, 0:15:47.625 --> 0:15:50.625 I will pack a change of tea, a change of 0:15:50.665 --> 0:15:53.785 bra and a change of undies. Yeah, and panty liners. 0:15:53.985 --> 0:15:56.145 If there's a stopover, I'll put different tea different bra, 0:15:56.745 --> 0:15:58.545 some wet wipes, and just kind of give myself a 0:15:58.545 --> 0:15:59.025 bird bath. 0:15:59.145 --> 0:16:01.145 Can I go back to the knit pants. Do you 0:16:01.185 --> 0:16:03.545 wear them just on travel days and on planes or 0:16:03.585 --> 0:16:05.025 do you also wear them through the trip? 0:16:05.065 --> 0:16:05.785 And if so, for what? 0:16:06.145 --> 0:16:08.665 Interestingly? That was good? So we're staying with friends at 0:16:08.705 --> 0:16:11.425 the start, and I forgot I always just love a 0:16:11.625 --> 0:16:13.985 lightweight cotton robe to get ready, and like, I've got 0:16:14.065 --> 0:16:16.425 pjs and stuff that we're going downstairs playing with the kids, 0:16:16.465 --> 0:16:18.585 So I would wear them a lot quote unquote around 0:16:18.585 --> 0:16:21.025 the house or in the rented apartment, around the apartment 0:16:21.025 --> 0:16:23.505 because that's no road. The outfit that I always forget 0:16:23.545 --> 0:16:27.265
