If all things go to plan we hopefully will be off on our little holiday very soon and I have started to lay stuff out in the spare room. I staycation summer holiday is a whole new ball game for me .... I can pack a great bag for the coast or a Lake District weekend in autumn/winter, but for summer ......

..... and this comes from the girl who spent most of her childhood summers in Anglesey (so I should know to pack for all weathers with our wonderful British summers).

So, I think I have the days pretty much sorted .... my little puffa spring jacket is a late addition with the weather of late - I thought it may be a safe option to put in the case, especially as it rolls up to nothing and is light as a feather. I had a few enquiries on this jacket (it is the one I wore in The Open family picture on Instagram) I have worn this jacket endlessly this summer (due to the rubbish weather, it is light, warm and practical oh and it's now on sale at Matchesfashion, here).

I am packing my signature lace blouses, t-shirts (The Dressing Room has just had a new delivery of Maison Labiche T-Shirts if you fancy a nose -some with long sleeves for the winter) to wear with denim (fingers crossed it's shorts most days). I am also going to pop in my Bella Freud jumper just to be on the safe side.

Converse for comfort and practically (I will travel in these) and a pair of sandals.

Finally, my large Rae Feather basket, I wasn't going to take this, but I think it will be very handy to transport the many layers the kids might need in one day; hoodies, sunhats and towelling beach robes!

P.S I am constantly looking at the weather and it is looking to improve - so tomorrow I will feature an optimistic pool look (the hotel outside pool is heated 🙏)
