Happy Monday, friends!
Hope you had a great weekend and that you’re staying well caffeinated this morning.
I am heading to London and Paris so soon! In anticipation of my trip, I wanted to share a few key items I’ll be packing. March and April can be a hard time of year to travel when it comes to your wardrobe – you never really know what kind of weather you are going to get!
The forecast is estimating high 50’s and low 60’s for both London and Paris with a chance of rain. SO what the hell is a girl to wear?
Here is what I plan on including in my suitcase:
1. Passport: First and foremost, you need your passport (duh), but there are so many cute passport cases I’m currently loving. Insert This Jonathan Adler colorful case (also obsessed with this one) or this calf-hair passport case from J.Crew.
2. Comfortable Shoes: I will most certainly be packing comfortable shoes. Tennis shoes to be exact. I recently picked up the Nike ‘Free 5.0’ Running shoe I have been seeing everywhere. Good thing they are trending right now because I can get used to this.
3. Backpack: Visiting major touristy areas will require a cute backpack – particularly this one.
4. White Denim: When it comes to denim, of course I have my classic washes but I will also be including a few different white pairs. A relaxed wash from Rag and Bone (make sure to always size down in Rag and Bone) and a more fitted pair from AG. I also love a good distressed pair like these from Frame Denim.
5. Casual Blazer: I’m a huge fan of blazers mostly because I’m a freeze baby. Blazers are a good alternative to a heavy sweater and are a great layering piece. I have two of J.Crew’s Schoolboy blazer in navy and black.
6. Light Spring Sweaters: Because this time of year is questionable when it comes to temps, light spring sweaters are a must. I’ve been loving pastels (blush pink), white, camel and grey sweaters for this time of year.
7. A Classic Trench Coat: I bought my first camel trench coat about 4 years ago and I continue to bring it out every spring and fall. A classic trench like this one from BCBG is great for rain or shine.
8. Cross Body Bag: When traveling, it’s essential to carry a cross-body bag so you’re hands are free to take instas.
9. All of the Stripes: When in Paris, wear all of the stripes.
