I couldn’t be more excited about an upcoming adventure in Tangier. A last minute invitation to sub in for a less than enthusiastic spouse has me completely excited and anticipatory. Now all I have to do is pack! I am not daunted by this seemingly herculean task – I wrote a book on it that I consult on every holiday. It will be necessary to pack in an carry-on board bag because our connections are tight. Read on and follow me to the Kasbah!
To find out all of the secret spots in Tangier or wherever you travel, the best go-to source is Mellisa Bradley’s Indagare.
Days will be spent on foot in and about the town, lunches by the pool and my outfit of choice will be a day dress, comfortable shoes, hat, and a tote containing my swimsuit and cover up as I plan to swim across the exotic town. My #1 piece of advice is to pack in a cohesive color scheme. For this trip, I will stick to neutrals and pastels.
Of course the best place to shop for what to wear in Tangier, is in Tangier. But I don’t like to leave anything to chance so I will all that I need . . . and then shop for some more! The shops and bazaars are bursting with vibrant creations, and festive jewelry and fashion.
Evening will be spent in gardens for drinks and dinner in homes and restaurants. Love this soft floral selection for Tangier and beyond. Elevate your look with a wedge or block heeled sandal and add additional pizazz with eye catching earrings by Asha by ADM.

. When space allow, pack an empty Pliiage by Longchamp for your purchases.
