Packing light

For me, one checked bag not fully packed and one empty carry-on define packing light.  Going to France/Amsterdam I kept taking stuff out of the bag, but it still was too full for all the cute French fashion I saw.  So this time I have room for new stuff, and we better have time to hit the stores or the group will get sick of my clothing repeats. I'm hoping that, like in France, the smaller cities have interesting boutiques with items that I wouldn't find here.  Having faithfully bought online from Boden for a few years, I'm confident that British fashion will deliver.  York according to the guidebook has become a primo shopping destination for the whole country, or at least Yorkshire.
