The Tourist

New York_edited-1NY images found here, here, here, here and here.

No not that stupid movie. Se moi! It’s now matter of hours (ok days) until I touch down in New York. Since we plan on doing a lot bit of shopping, I am having to be a savvy packer in order to leave enough room in my suitcase. Sightseeing tourist clothes are difficult to pick out, you want to be comfortable, warm/cool and stylish for all your touristy photos. My essentials are comfortable shoes (I find Converse the best and most lightweight), a smart jacket for throwing on for dinner, a comfortable slouchy backpack and very comfortable jeans, coat and t-shirt (note the emphasis on comfortable!) What are your tourist essentials?

    I love that navy cape - I would love to travel around and be a tourist in that - or let's be honest, I would love to meander around my own city in that!
    Much love,
    B

    With that outfit, you'd make an awesome tourist! My tourist essential is always a camera and a bikini. Nothing sucks more than being at a beach without a swimwear!

    I agree on the scarf - that's my must have when I travel - great when cold on a plane and adds so much style to the simplest outfit AND it's small to pack! Have a BLAST - I have had so much fun shopping in NYC. I found that because of all the great up and coming designers there, the prices were very competitive so it was really fun!
