Packing for 12 days in Italy in late June/Early July

I'll be traveling to Italy in late June and I'm excited but so nervous! This is my first trip overseas and I'm a recovering overpacker, so I want to make sure that I keep it light and intentional.

We'll be in Rome for five days and then at a yoga retreat in southern Italy for five days. This will include a lot of beach and pool time, so wanted to account for that.

I'm waiting for my Allpa Mini 20L to arrive and hoping this all will fit (plus toiletries and miscellaneous items)

In my everyday life I keep my fashion pretty minimal but with some fun pieces, so I wanted to pack clothing that I actually wear and feel good in. Everything can also mix and match. I plan to wear my sports bras with my normal clothing too and some can even pass as cropped tops if styled well.

Any advice is welcome! I'm debating if I can get away with just one pair of shoes and not bring the Birkenstocks since they are so bulky. I also wonder if I'll need another bag, since I worry the striped sage Baggu is too casual or may clash with my gingham dress (probably overthinking it)

I had such a wild dream last week. I didn’t even know about Mall World until I was speaking to my friend and she told me the dream sounded similar!

In the dream I was in my current home, everything was normal except we had a basement. My house is 1500 square feet, but for the some reason the basement was a huge warehouse. Everything was unfinished concrete but for some reason I had clothing and items neatly organized. I remember thinking in the dream “huh, I thought decluttered all this.”

Then I walk through the basement, open a door, and I’m in a corridor. I open another door and I entered the first of many “shops.” This one seemed to be like a 90s/2000s Best Buy. The signs in the store were yellow and faded, the carpet was meh, the lighting was harsh and fluorescent. But it was packed with people. All of which I never met before.

Then I walk through this store, get to the exit, open another door and it’s basically a sad office space. White walls and cubicles everywhere. People sitting in their work clothes staring at screens wearing headsets. I remember thinking “how did all these people get into my house?”

These spaces are all like mazes. Incredibly hard to navigate. And once I exit this office, I open the door and I enter a makeup shop, similar to an Ulta but different. Then I walk through that Ulta and finally make my way outside, but it’s an outdoor mall. It had a South Beach Miami vibe with palm trees everywhere, but still felt super contained.

All these shops, rooms, etc felt like an endless liminal space. And it all opened from my basement. I remember waking up feeling so confused.

Now that I think about it, I do dream a lot about basements and attics. Hidden walls, things opening up and exposing other rooms. But this was the first dream of mine where I could explore the space.

My husband and I recently purchased a 2026 Sport! The Alpine Green is a stunner, I’m so beyond happy with this car.
