Guest Post: Sydney From The Rabbit-Hearted Girl

Hi everyone! I'm Sydney, from The Rabbit-Hearted Girl, and I'm guest posting for Chloe today. She asked me to write something about travel, and I decided to relive some of my favorite vacations by writing about them for y'all (and posting some unrelated outfit shots).

When I was a senior in high school, my dad took me to London as a birthday &graduation gift. I'd wanted to go for years, and I absolutely loved it! I thought it was the coolest city and I loved going to see all of the typical tourist-y stuff, like the tower of London and Westminster Abbey. I even made him go to King's Cross Station so I could take a picture at Platform 9 3/4! We also went to Windsor Castle and Oxford and I really enjoyed seeing the smaller areas of the country. London is probably my favorite place I've ever been, and I'd love to live there someday!

A couple of years ago, my family went to Europe for Christmas because my older sister lived in Germany at the time. We stayed in Brussels for a night, and it ended up being my favorite night of the trip. The downtown area was so cool, and there happened to be a Christmas street fair happening the night we were there. The architecture in the square was beautiful. I don't know if it was just that I had so much fun that night, or maybe it was the Belgian waffle I ate, but I loved Brussels.

Just a couple of months ago, I went on a road trip to Southern California with my two best friends. California was a beautiful place, the weather was perfect and the beach was gorgeous. We also stopped at the Grand Canyon, and we drove through several states and places that I had never been before. But I think the best part was definitely the fun I had traveling with my friends. There's really nothing better than a road trip with people you love!

Well, that's all I have for y'all today! A huge thank you to Chloe for asking me to guest post, and I hope she's having a ton of fun in Berlin!!

Guest Post: Claire From Jazzpad

So while Chloe is away in Berlin (lucky devil) I am here to fill a blank, as it were, while she's gone. I'm Claire and I write all of my nonsense on Jazzpad, if you wanted to know. With a theme of 'travel' to toy with, I thought it might be interesting to have a bit of a virtual window shop for the unmistakable holiday essentials list. Which, as well as being interesting, became increasingly frustrating for me without as much as a Travel Inn booked in the shape of a holiday for this year. So here is my run-down of possible options. What would be on your essentials list? xox

The Paper Stuff 

Wherever you go, for however long, it can be crucial to keep all notes, tickets, thoughts and observations in one place. And then on your return, even more important to save all of them to treasure forever more.

The Box of Tricks 

I'm quite notorious for taking a bag of every size on holiday for varying reasons. Day bag, night bag, flight bag, beach bag, travelling bag... The list of possibilities is endless!

The Footwear 

No holiday shopping list can be quite complete without the obligatory footwear consideration. And in my book, there should be a walking shoe, a dancing shoe and a I'mnotgettingoffthislilountilnightfall shoe. I'll let you work out which is which.

I think that's enough to get you musing as to what you'd take away given the choice. With bags packed, all you need to decide now is where to go...?
