PSA: As someone born in a tropical climate, (meaning humid not dry), silk is kind of a no go except for special occasions. Why? 1) it conducts heat. 2) with humidity it sticks to the body. 3) it stains easily with sweat and water. 4) cotton and linen, which you can find in 'smooth' finishes, too, work and hold up better, so why wear silk? I know silk is trendy now and it's a natural fiber and supposedly breathable (Look into why they make silk long johns - it traps heat), but it's not a hot/humid weather fabric. Especially if you want to own that piece for a long time.

@@flybirdsmith5406 I swear it doesn't breath and I own a couple of fancy equipment silk shirts and your everyday silk and same experience as above. Natural yes but finely woven that's why it's silky.. but hey it's just my two cents. Great if it works for some.

I can confirm silk is not the right choice! I come from one of the hottest place on the planet, so I guess this makes me an expert.

While I think packing for LONG trips might be more fun to watch, seeing videos packing for SHORT trips is more helpful for me (and some viewers) that can’t often afford to go on long trips. 4-5 day trips are standard for my vacations, so I like seeing how others maximize their packing list with limited space/options. Still excited for the California packing video though!

I think the crop top with the linen trousers would be chic!

All those outfits have been an absolute treasure trove of style inspiration! Hope you’re having an amazing holiday and haven’t left that gorgeous infinity pool 😍😂

Not wearing black for a week would be definitely pushing the sanity limits! I'm totally with you on that girl.

Those trousers look fantastic on you! I expect they’ll be a winner in Bali humidity x

I love the way you think about clothes and the dynamics of different outfits. I've learned so much from you!

Love this video 😊 perfect Sunday morning watching. Love you 💕

That's exciting!! Have a wonderful time!

Such a great video. I'm already looking forward how to use your tips for my upcoming holidays too. Thanks for the inspo Anna!

So helpful! Thank you! A suggestion for next time - would have also been good to see things you considered but didn't bring, eg a selection of camis you chose from or your alternate skirt and shoe options with reasoning behind the final decision

Getting ready to head to Scotland in a couple of weeks. You inspired me to do a 10x10 challenge. Went to the originators website for a downloadable form. Helped immensely in my planning. I feel I am ready to tackle the packing when that time comes. Since it will be chilly, I hope I can pack light enough for hand luggage only. Thanks for the inspiration!

We love sandals; surely, for instance, flip flops are not practical footwear outside but absolutely nobody cares what you wear on your feet. Birkenstocks and other sandals are particularly great options for the summertime in my experience, never had anyone in my country say they aren't. Whatever is practical and comfy, is a good decision.

Waiting all week for this video

I love your second day outfit

I love love love this video! I am definitely going to try this system when I go on holiday next. Hopefully it should take the headache out of packing a completely different outfit for every day/night of the week. By the way, these outfits/combos look simply great Anna. Thank you :-)

Ana you did an amazing job

Huge fan of Simon Miller! Love the bag. Those Sam Edelman slides look so comfy!

I couldn’t do this! I like to have different outfits everyday and night! And extra options! X

I agree, I cannot leave on a trip w/o some outer layer. And the flip flops might even be useful in the room to keep you feet clean.

So amazing, I travel to Europe for work in the summer for 6 weeks, and want to be a little more thoughtful about packing this time around. I can't wait for your extended stay lookbook! Also, for anyone interested, SaksOff5th has the gorgeous Sam Edelman woven slip ons half off!

Anna you always look so chic and classy, Love you

Love those pants!

I lived in Asia for many years and traveled to Bali for a while. Hats, a parasol and sunscreen are musts. Buy yourself a Balinese fan while you're there, they're great! I lived in light wheight cotton shorts, tanks and flip flops. You may want to consider wearing your hair up. It'll be interesting to see if you like the silk or if you sweat in it. Have fun!

I love the dress, I feel like it’s possibly short enough to tuck into the yellow trousers for another outfit 😊

Edit: LOVE THE LINEN TROUSER LOOK Hi Anna, I am so intrigued to see how you go with those outfits. I had no need for a denim jacket at all for Bali personally (even to travel with, I just used a sarong/big scarf). Also if you could share your tips on washing on the go - I couldn't even get my bathers (swimsuit??) to dry over 24 hours in hot and humid Bali!! A friend of mine recommends just getting clothes professionaly laundered over there because it smells amazing and actually gets dry! Xx

Loveee these series 😍. I always take as little as possible with me as well. Would also not wear crop tops at home lol😂

You styled all the pieces so beautifully Anna. Well done, loved the video. X

Would love a dupe for those trousers!

It goes to show how good a considered capsule wardrobe is when you’re going on holiday for a week and you’ve only purchased one new item and it’s something you were planning on buying for summer anyway 💚

I'm on holiday for 8 days in hot weather at the moment and I was definitely inspired to do my own 10x10 for the trip. So far, so good!

Anna please do a meetup/book signing in Los Angeles when you come to CA!!

unrelated, but what dress were you wearing on that hen-do? you looked gorgeous!!! xx

I love my silk shirts but I find they wrinkle more than my other clothes in the suitcase. I have brought my portable steamer before but it’s annoying when you go to the different countries with different voltage sometimes. I would love to hear how you deal with that Anna:)

Havi’s are my go tos on vacation.

Bali is awesome. I was there a year ago..you must go to Potato Head

HI! How do you wash your white and silk shirts? Could you create a video about it? I feel like your videos discuss these in better details :)

Alison James As someone who’s grown up in a hot, humid climate (florida), I’ve found people are a lot more paranoid about washing clothes than necessary. One time wearing something if you weren’t active doesn’t require a rewash. It’s all about what you also have planned to do.

Bali is the Australian Blackpool

Is the dress wearable with a bra? I want to get one but it looks like the straps might stick out.

The flip flops brand is called "Havaianas", and not "Haviana" :) It means hawaiians in portuguese.
