Also, I too would like a capsule for Italy/warmer areas of Europe in summer, please. And looking ahead, an early fall (when it’s still hot but we’re dying to wear fall clothes) and then an actual fall capsules would be great!

I often look at your photos and think the same thing - that I wish I could get over my fear of tucking anything in. I always am hoping to hide my less than perfect tummy, but why am I still trying to hide anything? Sigh.

I agree with the European capsule - maybe a London in the summer one?

Oo! Pretty please?! I’m leaving for London at the beginning of July, spending a couple of weeks exploring England. Also: any tricks for keeping wrinkles away? I love these looks and fabrics but wonder if I’ll have to plan on ironing each day.

Obsessed. I travel almost exclusively in a carry-on for almost every trip, summers in Greece included. I really want to see how you played Tetris in your suitcase and if you have a summer Euro-casual beach trip capsule. Please.

I love this so much! I'd love to see what you'd pack for a Europe version, especially one with tons of walking and high temps! I'm heading to Spain and Portugal soon so selfishly would love some ideas!

Ok this is super super chic - and you look fantastic in every single option.

(Note: the shorts romper I think is missing a link ??)

But can you honestly say you got all that (six pairs of sunglasses?? Three handbags ? Three pairs of shoes ??) in a carry-on suitcase !!!

Also love how you dolled up your LL Bean tote….love it all . . .
