FAMILY TIME
“COMFORT IS KEY ON FAMILY HOLIDAYS,” SAYS THE STYLE INSIDER LEONIE BARLOW. WITH HER EYE FOR STYLISH AND COMFY FOOTWEAR, LEONIE TELLS US HOW TO PACK PERFECTLY FOR FUN ON THE RUN...
Anyone can throw a bunch of clothes into a bag and call it packing, but if you want your next trip to really feel like a holiday, then it’s time to learn how to pack like a pro. The key is taking a little time to imagine myself in various locations and scenarios, and planning my outfits accordingly. Taking a quick snap of the outfits on my phone means that when I open my suitcase and my mind goes blank, I have a quick and easy reference of all my preprepared Insta-worthy outfits. After all, you want to enjoy your time away and not feel like you’re a pareddown version of your true self or stuck wasting precious time getting dressed in your hotel room.
FAST FEET
With two young boys, our family holidays are active! I like to pack the Ziera Umbria in Black Ombre because it will take me everywhere and it looks good too. We love seeing a new town or city by bike, so this shoe is great for cycling trips and hunting out the most popular skate parks for our boys. It also looks stylish enough to take me to brunch at a cool café and is perfect for travelling – who wants sore feet when you’re traipsing through airports? With the Ziera Utah sandal in my suitcase, I’ve got the option of a shoe that’s stylish enough to wear to dinner with one of my fl oaty maxi dresses, but comfy enough to wear all day with a pair of palazzo pants and a simple tee.
