I’ve got friends travelling through Argentina now and family heading to Buenos Aires in a few short weeks. So I thought I’d do a quick packing round up.

If you’re practical on top & bottom, you can get away with cute in between.
Simple, modest classics that can go from the beach to the dance floor.

The North shore, where we spent most of our time, is famous for it’s surfing beaches and

I’d recommend a parka (not kidding! it’s around zero degrees).
The dry season on the north Pacific shore of Costa Rica is hot, hot hot! It’s best to stay

rain forests (you should!) breathable, waterproof shoes and rainwear are a good idea.
If you plan on going beyond Reykjavik, the most important staple for Iceland exploring

public pools and thermal rivers—and pack your bathing suit.
(or do like the french tourists, and don’t).
Quebec City is charming with a European flare. But make sure you bring some comfortable
walking shoes to navigate the hills and cobblestones.
Keep your fingers and toes warm in sub-zero Algonquin with practical, insulated items.
To get the cute hat visit pixiebelle’s store on Etsy. And if you’re planning on dog sledding,
stuff your pockets with doggy treats and you’ll be the pack leader in no time.
