Life’s Too Short Not to Travel in Style

Hey girl! I’m Katie, founder of TrendyTourist.co.uk.

Let’s flash back to 2019 when I was living in New Zealand on the working holiday visa.

Shortly after I arrived, unpacked and got settled in my new (very beautiful) hometown of Queenstown, it dawned on me that I somehow had to make a suitcase’s worth of clothes last a year! (Eek!)

And it wasn’t the first time I’d had this problem.

In my twenties, I visited over 20 countries on various travel and backpacking trips. Truth be told, I’d always struggled to look stylish, travel far and live well as a tourist on a budget.

In fact, I used to spend hours trawling the depths of Google trying to uncover how to be savvy with clothes, trips and money all at the same time.

I knew that there had to be a better way to find the information I was looking for. That’s how TrendyTourist.co.uk was born.

About Trendy Tourist

My Mission

I want you to look and feel your best while you’re travelling (near or far) so you can live your best life.

That’s why I aim to teach you how to pack effectively and build capsule wardrobes that take into account the latest trends so your fashion sense, suitcase space and travel funds can stretch further.

I’m all about giving you the tools you need to make the most of what you have, without sacrificing your style.

My Values

  • I believe in fun yet functional fashion.

You can be stylish and still feel comfortable and prepared for a life full of adventures.

  • I believe in outfit repeats and getting your wear out of individual pieces.

Make your wardrobe work harder so that getting dressed is easier and help to build a more sustainable world.

  • I believe that fashion doesn’t have to cost a fortune to be high in quality.

Buy and own less, style more. Opting for quality over quantity can actually save you money in the long run. (Wahoo!)

More About the Founder

I’m a freelance writer, blogger and UGC creator based in North Yorkshire, England.

I started blogging at university while studying Fashion Marketing and Branding and fell in love with it.

Since 2017, I have created content for countless brands in a range of industries, from fashion and beauty to health and wellness.

When I’m not creating content, you can find me shopping, exploring a new place or sitting somewhere having a nice cuppa. (My go-to Starbucks order is a tall vanilla soy latte. Shlurp.)

Some fun facts about me:

  • I’m originally from Wakefield (or Shakey Wakey)
  • I have an American husband from Wisconsin
  • My family has a mischievous (and oh-so lovable) cavapoo called Riley
  • I’m health-conscious and like doing home workouts and going on walks
  • If you give me a slice of Victoria sponge cake, we’ll be besties forever

Come and say hey or look into advertising with me.

I can’t wait to hear from you!

It’s shacket szn. 🍂 I love a good shacket f It’s shacket szn. 🍂 
I love a good shacket for those transitional autumn days when the temperatures are too chilly to leave the house without a jacket but too mild for your big winter coat. 💁🏼‍♀️ 
This one is from @marksandspencerstyle and I’ve had it years but it was such a great investment; I constantly rewear it during the cold months due to the fact that it’s super snugly and comfy. 🧸
I also recently bought the viral bag from @uniqloeurope - can confirm it’s as roomy, easy to throw on and comfy to wear as they say. 💃🏼
They do it in so many colours and multiple fabrics so I’m tempted to buy more! I’ll leave a link in my Story if you’re interested in having a peek. 👀 
Hope you’re having a great week so far. 🫶🏻

Summer in October 👻 These mild temperatures ar Summer in October 👻
These mild temperatures are taking me back to mine and hubby’s time in Chicago. 🏙️
I love Chicago - it’s got the same cool, exciting vibe as NYC but it’s much less touristy (and crowded)!
Here are some of my fave things to do downtown:
1. Shop along Michigan Ave
2. Willis Tower Observation Deck 👀 
3. The Bean/Millennium Park
4. Navy Pier 🌊 
5. Oak Street Beach
6. Eat deep dish pizza 🍕
…The last one’s the most important. Obv. 😋
Chicago is also magical at Christmastime with plenty of fun decorations, markets and festivities for all ages.
Until next time, Chi-town! 🇺🇸

So thankful for mine and hubby’s time away in Green Bay/Chicago - we had such a wonderful time catching up with family and friends, as well as spending some quality time together. 🥰
Now that we’re home and settled I realise that this trip is just what we both needed to switch off from the mudanities of everyday life and remind us what’s truly important.
There’s nothing like spending time in another country thousands of miles away to give you some perspective!
I’m already looking forward to heading back to the States in December for my mum’s 60th birthday. 🇺🇸 
Until then, it’s been real, ‘Murica! ✌🏻

3 Transitional autumn looks 🍁 It’s that time 3 Transitional autumn looks 🍁
It’s that time of year again. The evenings are getting darker earlier, the mornings are crisper, and the warm sunshine is being replaced by cooler, overcast days as the leaves slowly begin to fall. 🍂
You can no longer leave the house without a jumper or a jacket, and your summer wardrobe is gradually being pushed aside so you can adapt to the change of seasons. 
Hello, autumn. I’ve missed you! 🥰
But, oh how tricky it is trying to dress right now when the temperatures are so up and down. Layering is key, so you can quickly remove or add a layer whenever you need to. 👌🏻
Here are 3 of my fave transitional looks as we head into the autumn season. 🎃

Wellness girl era ✨ I’ve been going through s Wellness girl era ✨
I’ve been going through something since I turned 33. A transformational shift. I feel like the things that once mattered to me don’t matter as much anymore.
My priorities are changing. I no longer want to do the same old stuff; my spirit of adventure and longing for new experiences has very much been reignited.
I’m entering my wellness girl era.
What does this mean? Quite simply, I’m swapping healthier habits and actions for the less healthy habits and actions I used to have.
Maybe it’s off the back end of the pandemic, maybe it’s because I’m getting older or maybe it’s just because I’m realising that another year has gone by and if I don’t take care of myself now then it could have detrimental effects in the future.
But basically, I want to do better and be better. I’m all about being healthy, well and happy, and setting goals that will help me to achieve this.
And since the term “wellness girl era” is currently going viral on TikTok, clearly, other women in my age group are feeling the same way.
