Great job if you ask me, on the travel wardrobe selection.</p> <p>That Prince Harry gave me a bit of a scare lol. Love the HP platform. That's a hoot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theres-no-place-like-home-1#post-969124 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 17:56:52 +0000 hedgiehog 969124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Elle, I tried several shoes before I decided on the Converse. Most of the shoes I tried on were higher priced/comfort shoes. None of them felt as comfy as the Cons did. I wore these in Paris where we walked 11+ hours and they felt great. I would recommend an insert if you need extra arch support but overall, they were wonderful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theres-no-place-like-home-1#post-969077 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 17:08:18 +0000 ElleH 969077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for sharing. I think your travel capsule is perfect. Classics that mix &amp; match. I wish I could wear converse for travel. They are like sitting shoes for me. Well not a lot of walking anyway. I am going in 3 weeks &amp; haven't planned anything except rainwear &amp;&nbsp;a wedding outfit, which isn't even complete yet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theres-no-place-like-home-1#post-969073 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 17:02:05 +0000 hedgiehog 969073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone! It is lovely to be home....</p> <p>TraceyLiz -&nbsp;That is an amazing experience! I hope your son had a blast...what a treat to meet the princes! Thanks for the kind words.....I think stripes are the in thing.</p> <p>Claire - thank you! If I could pick up MY house and move it to England, I'd do it in a minute. Of course, I would need unlimited funds to fly back and forth to the US.....so....I don't see that happening anytime soon. My hubby and I have talked about retiring there. Funny that we would do the opposite of most people! ;)</p> <p>Angie - Thank you...I did have to wash the white jeans three times. :)</p> <p>Beth Ann - thank you. It was the first time I've ever packed with a "capsule" frame of mind. What have I been thinking all my life??!!</p> <p>Suz - you crack me up! I looked back at the photos and realised that most feature stripes! The relatives are right on trend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theres-no-place-like-home-1#post-968386 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 17:58:09 +0000 Thistle 968386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome home!!

Your daughters are just beautiful and look like their Mama! Thanks for sharing your travel pictures. It looks like you had a very well-coordinated capsule to choose from. I'm glad the weather suited you so well, too. Do you think you might ever move to the UK? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theres-no-place-like-home-1#post-967896 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 00:16:26 +0000 TraceyLiz65 967896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like you had a wonderful trip... My kids got a kick out of the Harry Potter tourist spot...My son went to England on a Student Ambassador Program and got to meet the real Princes on his visit as well as a trip to Parliment. &nbsp;</p> <p>Love the white pants with jean jacket and touches of red! &nbsp;I would have a hard time packing as well. &nbsp;</p> <p>Got a kick out of the group photo and the number of members in stripes! &nbsp;<br />Sleep well and enjoy your own shower! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theres-no-place-like-home-1#post-967888 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 00:04:48 +0000 hedgiehog 967888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello Everyone!</p> <p>I've recently returned from three weeks in England....I feel like I've been away for ages. I've decided I must get better at posting WIWs. I did manage to post a few via my phone while I was away, but am generally lazy and have decided I need to get better at posting and not just lurking.</p> <p>That said....we spent a week in England at my MIL's house...about 20 minutes east of London, then went to Northern Ireland for four days to visit other relatives, came back and went to Paris a few days later. We left Paris and went back to England for another week and then came home..</p> <p>I admit, I missed my own bed and shower but other than that I was completely content. I absolutely LOVED the weather. Most people don't care for the English weather but it seems to suit me just fine. Being back in the humid, sticky Florida weather is a bit sad.....</p> <p>In England, the temps stayed below 65 most of the time and in NI, it was even cooler. The warmest day we had was in Paris where it was about 74 F.</p> <p>I tried to pack lightly but generally fail at that....I like to have choices. I tried to keep colours simple. I packed around a base of navy and black and added red and turquoise as accent colours. Creating a capsule based on these colours worked really well because everything went together so easily.<br />I was also fortunate because we were able to do laundry so we didn't come home with cases full of dirty clothes. </p> <p>I've just added a few photos because my laptop is acting up and doesn't want to read the disc. </p> <p>Photo 1: Me and my 14yo at the beach in Newcastle, Northern Ireland<br />Photo 2: Me at the train station <br />Photo 3: Me at the hotel in NI<br />Photo 4: Me taking a selfie for YLF :)<br />Photo 5: Me and DH at Windsor Castle (warm day)<br />Photo 6: Me and Prince Harry at Madame Tussauds<br />Photo 7: All of us at DD's Granddad's farm in NI<br />Photo 8: WIW for a barbecue at my brother/sister in law's house (cold day)<br />Photo 9: Me and DH at the Warner Brothers Studio/Harry Potter experience<br />Photo 10: Us and all the relatives in NI<br />Photo 11: My 12yo DD at Harry Potter's platform in Kings Cross station<br />Photo 12: Us in Paris, after we got rained on</p> <p>Thanks for looking....wishing everyone a wonderful week!</p> <p>ETA: I did manage to squeeze in a few hours for shopping and bought three cardigans (like I really need them in Florida, right??!!) Two blouses and one pair of sandals. Will post photos soon.</p> <p>Mary</p>
