It’s not surprise that I love shopping at Shopbop. Not only do they have free two-day shipping, the retailer continues to introduce me to new brands while continuing to carry some of my favorites like Kule, Club Monaco, Stuart Weitzman, Tory Burch & more!
Shopbop is currently running their major surprise sale promotion where you can shop up to 40% off! I plan on using the surprise sale to stock up on some items for our wedding festivities & honeymoon next year! So many white dresses, bathing suits and summer shoes are on sale at the moment.
Also, for my fellow brides-to-be, I’ve been loving everything by Marchesa Notte — how pretty is this off-the-shoulder white dress?! I also have been eying this beautiful blue and white floor length dress for a spring wedding next year! It also comes in a short version.
Below are few of my favorites you can shop below! Happy shopping. Xo.
We’re officially on our last day in the city of lights after spending 5 nights in London and we’ve had the best time. I’ll be sharing more in the coming weeks on where we dined, shopped & stayed but for now wanted to get you guys some of my favorite links from around the web which of course — has been influenced by our trip!
Meghan & Harry, an African Journey. — YouTube & ABC.. Highly recommend if you’re royal obsessed just like me. 🙂 I watched their new emotional documentary one morning while we were in London and cannot wait to see the ABC version when we return! If you don’t follow Elizabeth Holmes already, she created the witty commentary on the Royals called SMT or So Many Thoughts and does a great job keeping her followers up-to-date on the latest happening with the Royals. Additionally she provided links to two different podcast episodes, one produced by the Guardian and the other from the BBC.
Speaking of the Royals, I discovered John Boyd Hats while I was shopping in London one day and had the best time trying on all of their pieces. Definitely take a peek for your spring weddings next year!
The weather has been much cooler here which gives me all of the fall feels — I’ve been wearing so many items on repeat including:
My Club Monaco pea coat – so comfortable & fashionable!
A cashmere scarf from Whit + Warren — seriously this scarf has been amazing for travel! Both for the plane ride as well as touring around London & Paris!
White Sneakers – I love having a good pair of white sneakers that I can swap in when I get tired of my black Nikes.
Loafers — If you haven’t tried any from Sam Edelman, I would definitely recommend you take a peek — great price point & so comfortable!
Hope everyone has a lovely weekend & if you’d like to catch up on our European adventures — follow along on my Instagram & Instagram Stories/Highlights!
Ahhhh I’m so excited as I type this — we’re headed to England tomorrow!! This will be my second visit to London and I can’t wait to explore the different neighborhoods, walk through the parks & see all of the sites! A few restaurants that are on our list for London include Chiltern Firehouse, Dishoom and Kettners.
After a few days in London, we’ll be off to Paris. I currently don’t have a ton on our itinerary besides my favorite museums and a few new-to-me restaurants on our list includingChez Georges, Frenchie and Au Passage to name a few! Do you guys have any must visit restaurants in either city? Please send our way!!
Whenever I’m packing for England or Europe during the winter months I pretty much know what we’re in for — lots of rain in London and lots of fall foliage in Paris!! #fingerscrossed
As a result, I try to pack cozy layers & fashionable cold-weather topcoats that I can easily rotate throughout our trip — insert an easy leather jacket, a classic pea coat, a trench coat & my Barbour. And just in case you haven’t seen, Club Monaco currently has so many great topcoats I’d love to add to my wardrobe!! How pretty is this plaid one?! I tried it on last weekend and it’s quite flattering + it also looks great with this plaid scarf! You can order true to size and still fit a cozy knit underneath.
After I figure out my coat situation, I move on to layers that I can easily wear & repeat like classic turtlenecks, cashmere sweaters and a few nice tops.
When I at last move on to shoes I keep it pretty simple — must bring classic booties, pretty loafers & comfortable sneakers. Because we’re expecting so much rain during our time in London, I’ll most likely bring my L.L. Bean boots just to be safe.
Last but not least, I can’t travel without my favorite skincare products!! Insert my Chuda Hydrating Cream — this cream is v. hydrating and is especially great for travel! And all of the masks (love this Sisley Paris mask!) to use both on the airplane and to sleep in during our trip.
Do you have any favorite packing tips when traveling internationally during the fall? And please, please send or comment below any of your favorite restaurants in London & Paris as we’d love to add them to our list!! Xo. Lauren
One of the things I’ve loved most about the whole wedding planning process is creating our different registries! This includes registering for a completely new set of Micro Cotton® towels from Macy’s!

We are very particular
about our towels in our household — anyone else?! And I’m so excited that we can
at last get rid of the towels we have been using for the past couple of years
and swap them in for a fluffy, fresh new set.
What I’ve learned over the years testing out a few different brands is that Micro Cotton® is seriously the best. Micro Cotton® towels maintain their softness wash after wash as well as maintain their vibrancy. I personally only like to buy navy towels as this hue hides stains more easily & doesn’t fade or turn yellow over time. Last but not least, I’ve also learned that Micro Cotton® has developed proprietary technology that allows the towels to achieve 1.5X absorbency. Yes, please!

So in case any of you are
starting to create your own registries, I would highly recommend creating one
with Macy’s
and adding these Micro Cotton® towels to your list! P.s. I’m hosting
a little giveaway over on my instagram (@_laurennelson_) and would love for you
guys to enter!
All you have to do is comment on my latest Instagram post, tag a friend & follow @microcotton_usa in order to be entered-to-win! The winner will be announced on Monday, October 7th.
** Thank you to Micro Cotton® for sponsoring this post.
