<p>Pilates expert Namrata Purohit is a self-confessed organised packer. I usually make a list of things I need to take along a few days prior to when I actually start packing.

I always throw in a little black dress no matter where I am going. Just in case I plan on going out, I can wear it to a party, dinner or any formal event. In casuals, I make space for shorts or skirts, and crop tops — they are my all-time favourites. I love wearing hoops in my ears and always pack in a pair of hooped ear rings, and a couple of cool scarves.</p>.<p>Hats are a must for beach locations, just like beanies are for cold destinations.</p>.<p>I live in sneakers and usually carry two pairs of sneakers that go with all my outfits. Flip flops are a must for walks along the shingle.</p>.<p class="CrossHead"><strong>Sweet cravings</strong></p>.<p>In my handbag I always carry a book to read, and a small notebook to scribble about my trip, poems and other thoughts.
