Hi All

In early August I head to Europe for four weeks away. We go to Croatia, Bosnia, Slovenia and France (only Paris - haha only Paris - I am excited to be going there for the first time since 1993) We also stop in Singapore on the way,

We have nine days on a cycle tour in Croatia with some hiking and some swimming etc. We will do some hiking in Slovenia and all round travelling type activities which for me include city and village walking, browsing and people watching, galleries and museums and eating in and out.

I am limited to 15kg of checked luggage and I will take a small day pack and small cross body as carry on, including a laptop etc..

It should be mostly warm to hot.

Here is a link to my collection, which are the pieces I am firmly commited to. I will have to wash clothes along the way especially my cycling gear as I have three days worth.

Collections – YouLookFab Finds

Starting from the shoes which I am firm on

1. Scarpa trail runners (biking and hiking)
2. eva white birks (beach pool hotel)
3. braided sandals (city walking)
4. gold sandals (dressy but also comfortable)

Then we move to tops

1. pattern blouse
2. Black and white stripe
3. white tank
4. Black tee
5. green and white stripe shirt

Bottoms

1. Palazzo pants (green paisley)
2. White shorts
3. Brown linen wide leg

Dresses

1. Black midaxi
2. Navy and white striped tank dress

Toppers

1. Buff cardigan

Gear (not all pictured but this is pretty clear and all needed)
2 x swimsuit
1 x red beach dress (not pictured)
3 x cycle pants
2 x active shorts (black and grey)
3 x active tee/cycling tee (grey, orchid, multi)
1 x light coral jacket
1 x black merino long sleeve

Plus sunglasses, cap, beachtowel etc...

What I am still deciding on (in the finds below)

Tops (one or two to add in)

1. Black waistcoat
2. White linen shirt
3. Navy tank
4. Denim shirt (could double as topper)

Bottoms (definitely one more to add)

1. Cream jeans OR
2. Athleta Brooklyn black pants OR
3. Fawn cargo pants (for flights - would choose one of and probably wear)

1. Patterned blue skirt OR
2. geometric palazzo pants (for evening, leaning to pants as more me than the skirt)

Topper (do I need more or will the cardigan and merino be enough along with the light running jacket)

1. Charcoal Sweatshirt (very casual, but very comfortable)
2. olive bomber (not sure about colour)

Dress (probably won't take this)

1. Zebra print (it is quite dressy and warm, but could be fun as well)

I am open to adding a piece or two along the way if there is a chance, a tank or a skirt for example.

I expect to be washing clothes at least once a week, on the cycle trip I will be at least washing the active wear and socks, and probably a top or two as well.

I am interested in your thoughts - I haven't packed and weighed this as yet. I cannot take less activewear and I am firm on the shoes - I need four options to protect my feet.

Thank you - I am very lucky and fortunate to be doing this! At the moment it feels quite daunting with work but I will get there!!
