My must-have essential winter outfits

I just got back from a refreshing trip to New Zealand.  Thanks to Light Miles Travel, I was able to experience such a beautiful country with a well planned itinerary that fit my interests.

I went to New Zealand towards the end of winter so I made sure I was armed with the right set of outfits that were easy to pack, stylish and comfortable as well.  I couldn’t have had a better partner for my outfits! Uniqlo came to my rescue and even gave me styling tips that would suit the weather, activities and my sense of style!

So this is why New Zealand is called the land of the long white cloud. ☁️ #mommsvacay #nzmustdo #lightmilestravelnz

Uniqlo’s LifeWear clothing leverages advanced technologies from Japan.  Clothes are lighter and more functional and can be worn all throughout the year.

There are two important technologies for the LifeWear clothing: HEATTECH andULTRA LIGHT DOWN.

HEATTECH is thin and warm inner wear while ULTRA LIGHT DOWN transformed down jackets by combining warmth and lightness.

Here are the outfits that hopefully will give you an idea on those essential must haves when you go for your next adventure!

I am convinced that Queenstown is one of the most beautiful cities in the world! Our visit here was made even more special with the perfect travel buddy- @sionycariquitan ! We have a full packed sked and can’t wait to share with you what you can do in this lovely city. 🙌It’s towards the end of winter and I’m glad I wore the right stuff to keep me warm. #mommsvacay #lightmilestravelnz #TravelWithUNIQLO #LifeWear
