Bonjour from Paris, mes amies! After downing 4 café au laits, hardly adjusting to the new 7-hour time change, searching endlessly for a grocery store open on Sundays (hello culture shock!), and santé-ing over many glasses of rosé, I feel like I am finally at home (might I add lots of nutella crepes later). More on Paris in a bit… first I thought I would touch on the important principles of simply getting overseas (or getting anywhere for that matter)…or jet-setting.

It’s all about jetting off in a bit of style and a lot of comfort. First, it’s always necessary to wear your heaviest shoes a la plane, so I always like to throw on my Vans authentic sneaks (PS-they’re on sale here) for a comfy-cozy plane ride sans blisters.  It’s all about layering, and my favorite kind of layering is with a boyfriend sweatshirt like this CLASSIC one by ILY Couture. I’m so in love with the soft feel and distressed look, so it was nice to have the darlin’ gem along when needed. Check out the sweet brand and all of their casual-cute finds here. Layering it over a little white tank was the cherry on top of the perfect alternative to staying the right temperature. When we’re talking carry-ons, I love taking my petit backpack along for the ride and my carry-on by London Fog (once again, loving all neutrals over here). It’s nice to have the extra room in the carry-ons for bringing home any over-the-top heavy novelties. I’m sure you all know the rest to when it comes to traveling cute and stylish, so I would love to hear about some of your favorite trips and tricks as well. Au revoir, darlins!
