Hi Kitty,

WOW! What a fabulous school trip to be going on.

First of all, check out what the weather is going to be like in Italy in November. I would think it would be their Winter time which means you are going to need to take warm clothes with you. You'll definately need a warm jacket for the night time, a pair of boots and then your usual staples, jeans, cardy etc.

Next, get together with your friend one weekend THIS Winter and go through all your winter clothes together. Try each other's stuff on, see what looks best on both of you. Make two piles. 1. Only looks good on one of us. 2 Looks good on both of us. Do this at both your homes. Then grab your looks good on both of us pile and pick out what you can get away with sharing. You'll both need to take your own warm jacket and shoes. I think you could get away with taking 1 pair of jeans each as you'll want to buy a pair of jeans while you are there (Diesel are Italian) and then you can share all your other clothes. The thing that you constantly need to remember is that you will buy things while you are away. Keep this as your mantra as you go through both your closets and decide what to take. To keep up with fashion in Europe at that time my suggestion is to visit www.asos.com closer to the date so that you can see the kinds of things people are wearing.

Other than that - have an AWESOME time and I want photos!

Love
Bronny
