Here in New England, its spring and we are concentrating on filling our summer calendars and sprucing up our gardens. Meanwhile our friends south of the equator are settling in for winter. For some this is a perfect opportunity to go ski South America in July or tour Australia in the off season. If your perfect idea of a summer vacation is jetting off to somewhere cold you’ll need to know how to pack for it.

Recently we read Amber Mortensen’s blog post, Traveling Light and Chic, on about.com. We agree with Amber to always pack your favorite leather jacket when you are traveling in cool climates. You won’t just look good, you’ll be warm too!

For tips on what else to pack when Traveling Light and Chic visit the budget style page on about.com. http://budgetstyle.about.com/od/styleessentials/tp/PackLightandChic.htm

Vacationing somewhere cool? Don’t forget your chic Leather Jacket.
