My preferred method of packing is to leave it all until the last minute and then rush around in a faff while the ticking vein in Z’s forehead becomes more pronounced.

However, due to the fact that I’ll be working all day the day before we leave – I’ve started packing and planning in advance.

Normally my travel wardrobe is not particularly inspiring, since I pack with the doomed certainty of a woman who knows her husband will drag her all over the known Universe as soon as his foot touches the soil of their destination and it consists of things I can walk miles in without crying, but BlogHer has been a wonderful excuse to dust off and bring out the pretty stuff (worn on its own, or with leggings and trousers in case it gets freezing).
