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
