I am going on a holiday to New York and I need to get some basics.

I'm 5ft2, size 12 should lose some weight but can't be arsed so don't nag please

I don't really do make up or dressing up.

I have loads of shoes though so they aren't an issue Grin

I want

a pair of jeans - will have to be petite as I am short but I'd prefer high waisted to contain my mummy tummy

I do have a couple of maxi dresses from last year, and some nice summer stuff but it isn't going to be roasting so I'll need a long sleeved top maybe?

I'd like a cardi or something.

And some casual "stuff"

Oh and I only have a week panic

I'd get decent dark wash jeans, a navy blazer, a few stripy tops to wear under the blazer for daytime and a few blouse type tops for smarter (these will also look nice under the blazer)

How about this jacket , nice on a petite frame

Love these stripe tops

Oasis have loads of nice smarter tops here

Love the jacket.

Good plan on the stripey tops as well.

Was half thinking of not taking much and spending the first day shopping??

Wasn't there a thread on here a week or two ago about them weighing your cases on the way out and they had to be roughly the same on the way back though?
