Firenze Day 2! Covered up to visit some churches, there is a dress code in Italy. And I wore sandals and still walked over 20,000 steps. Plus, carpaccio, notecard shopping and more!

I am pulling together the items I will be packing for my upcoming trip to Italy and France in June. The weather should be just right and I do need to pack light! T-shirts that I can dress up, skirts, easy pants, sandals and good walking shoes.

The scent of the South of France… with a hint of Paris. 💜

Voluspa truly knows me—this French Cade Lavender candle feels like it was made for my world. It’s soft, herbaceous, and calming, like wandering through lavender fields in Provence and then returning to a quiet Paris apartment at dusk.

Paired here with my little Eiffel Tower and a watercolor of Paris—because somehow this scent holds both places at once.

I am headed to Cabo San Lucas in March for a big birthday weekend (not my birthday!). There will be a couple swanky evening events and lots of time hanging by the pool. I spent a lot of time rounding up different outfit options. It's nice to think about being in the sun, it's been so dark and cold!

#LTKSeasonal #LTKOver40 #LTKTravel

Nice-to-Paris, via the TGV (high speed train). Need to be ready to get off train and go straight to the Latin Quarter for dinner!

#LTKTravel #LTKOver40 #LTKdayinmylife

Nice, France! The weather is amazing and we will be out for a full day touring the côte d’azur!

#LTKTravel #LTKOver40 #LTKSeasonal

Venice, Italy! We were boating around all day, so blue felt right!

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKOver40 #LTKTravel

My Florence, Italy look! And yes, I was mistaken for an Italian several times today!

#LTKTravel #LTKOver40 #LTKdayinmylife

Or what about this for the 4th of July!

This pretty linen dress from J Crew is on sale! I was thinking it could be cute with a different belt.

#LTKOver40 #LTKTravel #LTKSeasonal

I LOVE these hair vitamins! I have been using them for a year now- my hair has grown back in and my hair dresser even noticed!

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKselfcare #LTKOver40

I need a cross-body bag for Europe- I am debating between these two Clare V bags!

#LTKMothersDay #LTKTravel

I just heard a podcast with this author and I am so excited to discover the cookies of Italy!!

#LTKMothersDay #LTKfoodie #LTKHome

This Me+Em jumpsuit was such a hit and it is such high quality. It comes with the belt, but you could swap it out for a different belt. I wore with neutral heels.

… And for Memorial Day and the Fourth of July, Ruggable has these cute options!

#LTKSeasonal #LTKHome

I am spiffing up our house for a summer, beach vibe- how great are the doormats from Ruggable?!?!

#LTKSeasonal #LTKHome

How adorable and chic are these “La Plage” beach towels??? The new Clare V beach collection is so cute!

I am pulling together my packing list for Italy and France this summer. How perfect is this skirt for looking at art and architecture in Florence?

#LTKSeasonal #LTKTravel #LTKOver40

Perfect travel shorts!

The scent of the Mediterranean, bottled. 🍋

I was so surprised (and honored!) when Voluspa sent me this Mediterranean Lemon candle—how did they know my heart lives somewhere between the South of France and the Italian coast?

It’s bright, sun-warmed, and just a little salty… like sitting on a pebble beach with the sea stretching out in front of you.

If you’re craving that effortless European summer feeling at home—this is it.

How cute is this dress from the Rail X Giadzy collab?! I want to pack this for my upcoming Italy trip! I love the shade of red and of course, polka dots are so in right now… but also so Roman Holiday!

#LTKTravel #LTKSeasonal #LTKOver40

Also part of the Rails X Giadzy collab is this book from Giada… I used to watch her show way back in the day and fell in love with cooking, thanks to people like her!

#LTKmomlife #LTKMothersDay #LTKHome

Look at these super cute pants from the Rails X Giadzy collab! How cute with a white tank and some gold sandals?

#LTKSeasonal #LTKOver40 #LTKTravel

You guys!!! Have you SEEN the adorable collab Rails x Giadzy (Giada De Laurentiis)?!?! It is SO adorable! I love the gingham, polka dots, fresh Italy-inspired colors, tomatoes, lemons! Run, don’t walk!

Navy blazer and a striped tee- such chic French girl style...

#LTKWorkwear #LTKOver40 #LTKdayinmylife

I have been obsessively hunting for a shirt like this and I found it- I saw women in Paris wearing something similar and it is so effortless… sadly, the blue version is out of stock.

#LTKWorkwear #LTKmomlife #LTKOver40

Need new running shoes! The Asics NOVABLAST 5 SUNNY SIZZLE's are perfect for the task!

Sale Alert! J McLaughlin is having a 50% off Spring Sale and there are too many pretty things to choose from!

#LTKSaleAlert

Spring is here, which means a whole batch of new cookbooks just dropped and they look amazing. As I typically do, I have a roundup of this Spring’s new cookbooks with French or Italy cooking. But I’ve also included a couple others that while they aren’t explicitly French or Italian, they fit the vibe if you love to cook and bake.

This season, a handful of new cookbooks feel especially aligned with that rhythm—many rooted in France and Italy, others simply capturing that same sun-washed, Mediterranean sensibility.

Here are the ones I’m most excited about.

Welcome to this weekend's edit, April 2026 edition. The brown oversized blazer I wore on repeat in Paris. Some pretty sale items from J McLaughlin. A monochromatic look with crisp white shirt from J Crew and feminine lace skirt from Brochu Walker. Pops of color with the Paul Smith scarf I bought in London and some much needed French Pharmacy skin care from La Roche Posay!
