I made the decision to pack carryon only for this trip out of the sake of convenience and necessity. With the amount of island and country hopping I have planned, I refuse to be that struggling tourist with the extra large suitcase. Here is what I was able to pack into my carryon for my trip without compromising my style:

1 kaftan
2 pairs of pants
4 dresses
1 skirt
2 swimsuit cover-ups
4 blouses
3 tanks
5 bikinis
PJs & undies
2 pair of sandals
1 pair of sneakers (wearing on the plane)
2 pairs of heels
2 jackets
3 scarves
4 bags
1 ridiculously large sunhat
and more!

ENDLESS VACATION OUTFIT COMBOS!

I love capturing and exploring a new territory with a new fragrance. It always helps to reminisce and recollect a new territory when it’s tied to a signature fragrance.

I studied ballet and pointe as an adolescent so I was not about to pass up on these shoes.

I’ve tried Louboutins but my feet are too wide for those Italian shoes. I refuse to pay +$1000 to be uncomfortable. Steve Madden came in with the clutch.

These shoes come in pink (featured), black, red and a print.

I’m thinking about doing a DIY to dye them to match my skin.

What do you think?

One of the many reasons why I love visiting Paris in the fall is not only is it incredibly gorgeous, but it’s also considered off-season.

Off-season travel means less crowds, less tourists and more affordability.
