i wanted to share with you what i packed
and what i wore in turkey when i went in
may
because a lot of people have asked me
what to wear in turkey or what women are
allowed to wear in turkey if there's any
kind of dress code for women i did a lot
of research on what the temperatures and
climates would be in each region i would
be at
and i really looked into the outfits i
wanted to wear i planned it out like
each day like i want to wear this or i
want to wear that and had a couple
options
because turkey is so beautiful it's such
a beautiful country
everywhere i went there was just
something gorgeous to look at they have
unique rock formations they have like
ancient ruins everywhere beautiful
coastal towns so
i wanted to take these gorgeous pictures
with me wearing some
gorgeous outfits so the first area i was
in was in cappadocia and cappadocia is
known for those gorgeous hot air
balloons that's flooding the sky at
sunrise so the colors are beautiful and
there's like these unique rock shapes in
the background and then there's colorful
foreground because a lot of these hotels
they set it up for you to take the most
beautiful pictures
so i knew i wanted to have a beautiful
dress for that location turns out the
entire four days i was in cappadocia the
hot air balloons did not fly we just had
the worst luck and it was windy
conditions every day we were there so
they had to cancel them every morning it
was still beautiful and the setting was
still gorgeous so we took some pictures
and i still got to wear my dress because
a lot of the hotels in cappadocia are
set up with nice rooftops so you can
take those gorgeous photos with the hot
air balloons i mean because that's what
they're known for so i got this long
maxi dress
on lulu's i did a lot of my dress
shopping on lulu's because they always
have gorgeous dresses for great prices
they range from anywhere from like fifty
dollars to
maybe a hundred dollars max is what i
would spend and this dress was great it
shot beautifully with the colorful
setting in cappadocia
and i love these wrap dresses too
because it gives you like that slim
figure
because my hips are kind of big so
sometimes when i wear dresses my hips
kind of stick out and
i
don't like those kind of dress eggs that
accentuate the hips so i tend to get
dresses that slim slim me down a little
bit more and these dresses really do it
they have like that slimming effect that
i really really love also in cappadocia
the weather it was like in the low 60s
in the mornings
and then in the afternoons it would
usually get really hot so during the day
when we went to the gorama open air
museum it was really hot i would say in
the mid 80s so i try to dress as light
as i could
so i wore some white shorts and
uh this smocktop and this top was great
because very sheer
um so it lets and there's like you know
it's very light so there's like a lot of
air flow coming in so i really love this
smog pop shirt i really want more of
these but i can't really find them um
anywhere else i got this on lulu as well
and it's kind of hard to find something
like this but i got a lot of you know
compliments on this as well um
everybody's like wow you look so great
in that um again it gives me a slim look
effect so
i like that i know i love clothes like
that and then some other days of
cappadocia were kind of cold so if the
sun wasn't out um and if it was like
drizzly or about to rain and it was
pretty windy it would get kind of cold
so i had this anatomy outfit which was
great i had these cool pants by anatomy
they're called
the eye pant and what's great about this
is first of all all anatomy clothes are
super lightweight they're actually made
for travel they have lots of pockets
they're stretchy
flexible and they also
dry really fast too and they're
wrinkle-free and this one in particular
is called ipad because they have the
pockets on the sides here where you can
put like your phone and so i wore this
with this windbreaker jacket and
a top from anatomy as well this whole
outfit was actually anatomy i love
anatomy clothes especially their jackets
they make really cool styles they always
have pockets they have cool zippers on
them and this one in particular i like
because it has a hoodie on it and
you could actually take it off if you
want to with the zipper
also you could tuck it in
behind and like zip it up as well so so
many options with this jacket and it
came in really handy not only on the
rainy days in cappadocia but i used this
for uh traveling whenever i was on the
plane because i like the zipper pockets
on the side as well so i would keep like
important documents in here like my
boarding pass and my passport and just
zip it up and i would have it handy
whenever i needed to board the plane and
then i took one other dress
this is a long sleeve dress
it's like a midi midi dress and i
thought it would be you know cute to
have in one of the settings in
cappadocia with my white sneakers and i
wore this in passabog it was like one of
the extra days that we stayed in
cappadocia and explored a little bit
more and then i also had a bathing suit
because we stayed in tashkenashka lodge
hotel which is an uchisar of cappadocia
and that's like the more
upscale region of cappadocia they have
more luxurious hotels and they're a
little bit more expensive but the rooms
and the views are just outstanding we
got this one room that had this
we had an entire terrace to ourselves
and a beautiful jacuzzi with a great
view so we wanted to wear our bikinis
and enjoy the jacuzzi and the views so
definitely had to bring a bikini i also
brought a hat on those days that were
super hot on cappadocia when we were
walking around guanine open air museum
you couldn't find that much shade so
when you were walking from cave church
to cave church the sun was just beaming
down on you so it was really good to
have a hat to um have a little bit of
shade so the next spot we went to was
antalya and antalya is on the southern
western coast of turkey and it's a
beautiful location we stayed in this
charming historical town so it's really
small but very beautiful we walked
around the gorgeous historic area so in
the evening i wore a black top the white
shorts again i wore the white shorts
several times
and this kimono over it and it made for
like really nice pictures with the nice
settings like they have a lot of pink
flowers around the town and it was just
so nice
and then i also
wore a nice dress kind of like a beach
resort kind of dress this was a very
long dress again from lulu's i get all
my dresses from lululus because they
know what's trendy and the material is
pretty great and they fit pretty nice as
well so i really really stand by lulu's
clothes oh and i forgot to mention that
antalya's weather is like beach weather
so um in may it was around 70s in the
mornings
and then during the day was like in the
80s so it did get pretty hot i also
stopped by paraguay which is an ancient
city that's about 20 minutes from
mentalia and this place has no shade at
all and not really any breeze because
we're a little bit away from the coast
at that point so i have my hat and then
i wore like this sporty uh
black dress and this was great it's easy
to move around in it has this cool racer
back
open
back here and
i just i really love this dress because
it's just really easy to move around in
and it's very lightweight and this one
is actually by athleta so they actually
have really cool sporty dresses that you
could wear and i wore white sneakers
with it but it was perfect for exploring
um an ancient ruined area so next i was
in kosh which isn't too far from antalya
and it's also on the southern coast and
it's a really charming beach town it's
actually really famous for scuba divers
but we went there just to lounge around
on the beaches because the beaches
around there are so beautiful so i knew
i wanted to have kind of like these
resort type of clothes that was colorful
and cute so i found this top i found it
on revolve
and these beach cover-up pants i love
cover-up pants they're the best so
they're
very comfy
and i like this elastic waistband in the
back but you know it's not elastic in
the front and you can tie it on the
front or on the side
it's wide leg on the bottom but it went
really great with like a crop top like
this or i would wear my
bikini underneath
and you know whenever we stop by a beach
i would just take it up and
have my bikini ready underneath so yeah
i was really really love this outfit
it's one of my favorites other than that
i had a dress that i wore it was
actually from amazon and i just wore a
belt with it and kind of walked around
the resort we were at but yeah kosh is
just like a super relaxed chill vibe and
we spent a lot of time on the beaches
and just relaxed and then on our way to
pamukale we stopped by a little town
called khao khan and it's really close
to kosh we thought we would stop by
really quick and take some cute photos
because we saw like again you know it's
a charming little beach town so i wore
my white shorts again and i wore like
this bell sleeve top which was like off
shoulder i normally don't wear shirts
like this but i thought this was really
cute and would match like one of those
coastal towns in turkey so i really like
this outfit and this top so next we
stopped by pamocala which is famous for
those thermal springs that look like
snow i mean it's just absolutely
gorgeous and it blows your mind uh when
you first see it because or
still when i look at it i'm like wow
what a beautiful location it's just so
unique i knew that i wanted to have a
bathing suit that would pop in the
photos so i found something that would
pop i
got this red and black bathing suit
i actually found this on amazon and i
thought it was really cute it fit really
nice i really like this
amazon bikini a lot and it came out
really great in the photos just like i
wanted and
yeah i highly recommend this bathing
suit it's not bad for
the price and i mean it's from amazon
and then afterwards i wanted to check
out another ancient city which is in the
same location as pomo college thermal
springs it's like right next to it or
it's within that
area since we were
at the pools in our bathing suits
instead of changing out of my outfit i
thought i would just wear this black
wrap skirt you know the top was kind of
like a cute crop top so i wore this and
the wrap skirt together
at the ancient ruins
and i mean i thought it worked out great
and then i also had these beach cover-up
pants that i wore an extra day in kosh
and an extra day in palma college
because i love colorful beach pants and
yeah these were great too and these
actually have an opening um
on the sides which gave it a kind of a
different look guess where this is from
lulu's
and the last city we stopped by was
istanbul which was huge so we had a lot
to explore and one of the things you can
explore in istanbul what they're well
known for are their mosques and this is
where you have to dress specifically for
women you have to cover your head and
then you also have to make sure your
shoulders and your knees are covered so
something like this with a head scarf
you just have to put it around your head
i actually bought this scarf ahead of
time online on amazon and i really like
the colors on it and i knew i wanted to
use it not just for
covering my head at the moss but i used
it a lot as like a ponytail holder and
put it in my hair a lot to have colorful
photos for the moss and when i was
walking around town
i would wear a skirt a long skirt a long
mini skirt and a black top
so this was a super comfy outfit that i
wore and then when it was cold
because in istanbul it was actually cold
in the mornings it was 60s in the
mornings and the evenings and during the
day it was really nice in the 70s
but in the mornings i would wear like a
jean jacket to keep myself warm but by
the time it was in the afternoon i
didn't need a jacket anymore
and then i also had
a couple other dresses this is one of
them um this is one of my favorites i
actually wear this a lot because i love
the pockets and then this black dress i
wore a lot too because it was i like the
poofy sleeves and i like that it was
solid black and it matched with my silk
scarf when i wore it in a ponytail and
then finally this dress i wore this
dress at the hotel at the henna hotel in
istanbul which is located sultanament
they have this beautiful rooftop terrace
with a view of hagia sofia and so you
can take lots of gorgeous photos and i
knew i had to have a dress there as well
so this is the perfect dress to have to
take those wonderful photos
of turkey's beautiful scenery and so for
this entire trip i only needed three
pairs of shoes i needed flip-flops for
the beaches
and
sandals for
the beach towns when i walked around in
like my dresses or shorts and some
sneakers when i did a little bit of
hiking or
you know a little bit more walking in
istanbul other than that
some essentials that i always carry with
me in my travels is a bandolier
we've done several videos on bandolier
explaining what it is and how awesome it
is but it's basically a cross-body
iphone holder
and you can switch out the straps the
cases and the cool thing is that they
have a pouch in the back where you can
store your credit cards and
identification so you have everything in
one
and i really like this because i never
lose it anymore i never lose my phone
anymore and i always have my cards with
me so this is always great to have and
also i always take my pacsafe anti-theft
backpack this is the citysafe cx and i
really love this backpack because it
fits so much it's stylish and i put my
camera in here and other
things that i need while i'm traveling
exploring sites and also it has these
awesome anti-theft features where you
know you can
lock it in securely or do a double lock
up here so that you know you can
um deter the thefts and that's what i
packed for two weeks in turkey in may i
