I did a test pack last night for my mini backpacking trip next week I'll be going to London, Dublin, Barcelona, Paris and Brussels (Only for the day though - Brussels). My bag is basically the big purple backpack and the small black Mountain Co one as my daypack. I've had to make a lot of sacrifices because I want to have plenty of room to bring stuff back from shopping since the airline I'm travelling with only allows one pieces of luggage. I haven't packed my best clothes really, just the comfiest which is necessary considering the circumstance. (by the by, that's not my correct address on the tag, for all your would be creepy stalkers;))
After agonizing for a couple of hours I've narrowed it down to what includes the four rows above I think I did a good job. What I packed: Jovovich-Hawk for Target dress, American Apparel skirt, Old Navy skinny & Gap Jeans, H & M Bermuda shorts, Vintage floral tank, Cotton on Top, 2 American Apparel Cardigans, Marc Jacobs T-shirt, American Apparel Tshirt, American Apparel hoodie, Forever 21 sweater coat, Target Australia beach shorts, Cotton on rain coat, Talullah / Arizia ruffle tank, Smart Set black skirt, H & M long sleeved grey top, Urban Outfitters cardigan, Old Navy black dress, Gap yellow top, Jacob leggings, Old Navy rugby sweater, PJs (Target Australia), swimwear (Seafolly), 2 beret hats (Sportsgirl & Ebay), 2 scarves (Winners & H & M) and 1 fringe scarf (Sportsgirl) .I packed a lot of my American Apparel stuff because I know they won't wrinkle!

I was on a quest yesterday to find comfortable shoes to walk in all day while I was in Europe, I never thought I would end up with 'granny' shoes. They are so freaking comfortable, that's the only thing that really gives them away. They look great on!
The price was even cheaper when I got to the cash only 14.99 at Sears.

Take many pics along the way and post them so we can all see!!!
Lol! I see you've got a raincoat...great plan for London and Dublin.
well i live in england, near london
and at the moment the wether is horrid, so i'd bring a 'brolly or mac.
Dublin is brillinant I love going to Ireland, and be warned it rains there alot too.
Brusseles is gorgeous, i went round in a horse drwan carriage, it was amazing I really recomend it.
Paris is beautiful also, so make sure your camra has plenty of memory because thats wear I took abaout a 1000 photos.
I've never been barcelona, but i've been spain a few times, just make sure to watch out for your bag and bum lol.
I hope i've helped you a little, and love your blog, i've linked it.

Oh your trip sounds so much fun! I can't wait for you to tell us all about it when you're back. Cute shoes too.
but! why not go to sweden?
you are very welcome- to gothenburg :)
take care.
and have a great trip
wow, that trip sounds cool! right you are for packing only your comfiest clothes. to be honest, i never "waste" much time on fashion when i'm on holiday... but hey, as you'll be going to all those fabulous cities, maybe we'll see you on a street style blog! but all your comfy stuff looks fabulous, and you'll look fabulous in it too, i'm sure!
and i love the granny shoes. i love them. i don't know why they're called "granny" shoes - the many ways in which you can style them are so absolutely anything but granny! Lisa from Lisa's Place is so stylish! she's swedish, isn't she? swedish girls are sooo stylish, always!
I hate to pack. I always pack more things than I need, but I always think that I might need all things.
Have a nice trip, enjoy your holidays and have fun!
xoxo
i'm jealous!!! you'll have a fantastic time!! and comfy shoes on european travels is an absolute must!!
Enjoy your trip, sounds great! I'll be going to london 2 in about 2 weeks!
And I love your granny shoes, I have a similar pair and they're so comfortable!
I hope you have a great trip.
The shoes remind me of Keds, but nicer.
have a great time! those granny shoes are adorable.
i think if you are seeing all those places in one day, you need a jet pack. have a great time!
thats such a good idea to do a test pack.
im awful with packing.
