What I packed (& wore) for a girls weekend away
Everything I packed in my new favourite weekend bag and all the outfits I ended up wearing.
After receiving such a great response to my Bali packing list, I thought I’d make this a regular feature on my Substack every time I travel!
Last weekend, I spent a gorgeous few days in Mount Macedon (Country Victoria) with some of my closest girlfriends. True to Melbourne’s reputation, the weather kept us on our toes—torrential rain on the drive up, followed by fog, and finally, beautiful sunshine with 18°C. Needless to say, I leaned heavily into overpacking this time!
Below is a summary of everything I packed that went into my Reverie & Rove duffel bag* I was kindly gifted this bag and I’ve been looking forward to using it for this trip. Check out my insta reel of me packing for this trip.
I’ve linked as many items as possible, but as always, it’s more about the type of piece than rushing out to buy a whole new wardrobe for your next weekend getaway! Chances are, you’ve already got similar staples tucked away in your closet!

I hope this packing list and outfit inspiration gives you some ideas for your next weekend getaway. Overall, I think the list worked well—my only unworn item was a black tank, so I’ll call that a win! It was especially satisfying considering the unpredictable weather and the variety of activities we ended up doing throughout the weekend.
Until next time!
