Hello America! I'm baaaack! Today I'm doing something I've never done before - which is basically a mega outfit post rounding up (mostly) everything I wore in Europe. I'll also list everything I packed that's not pictured here, so kinda a reverse packing list, if you will.
These are listed chronologically by location, to give you a taste of where all we went as well. Lots more to come, I had an amazing trip. If you have questions about any outfit/city/specific items, just ask!
You can find all the items that are still available in this here widget:

LOCATION: Paris, France
Well I had to snap a pic in our very cute hotel bathroom before we left Paris for Bordeaux! It was very hot but I wanted to wear pants on the train (is that weird) these jeans are still available btw. Get ready to see a lot of these Bensimon plimsolls! These were our "team shoes" for the trip that we picked up upon arrival in Paris. I wore them a TON throughout the trip.

LOCATION: Bordeaux, France
Wait this isn't me!? I had to give a shoutout to my Instagram wife, my sister Carina! Isn't she cute? Anyway she got poison ivy in Paris (true story) and had to borrow my jeans to cover her ankles, along with Kathleen's top, and I thought it made for a great lewk! It called for an impromptu photo shoot on the deck of our little garden Airbnb in Bordeaux.

I was soooo excited to break out my new purple suit, fresh off my Mara Hoffman LA miracle (more on that here!) This suit is great. Although I doubt I will ever wear it as epically as on top of the tallest sand dune in Europe again.

LOCATION: Saint-Émilion, France
I kinda hate myself looking at this picture. Saint-Emilion is just a skip away from Bordeaux, so we took a day trip to do a biking wine tour. It was hot as HELL (grape growing, I guess) but this kept me relatively cool temperature wise & super cool fashion wise. Ok, I'm the worst. This jumpsuit has to be tied for MVP for the trip! It's from Old Navy several years ago but there are a few current very similar options: one / two / three.

Wait this isn't me either?! Had to shoutout to my other Instagram wife (sister wives!) and our third team member, Kathleen! Okay it helps that she has great style and capsuled the shiz out of packing for this trip, therefore always looking easy breezy European chic. Is there anything more French than stripes? No.
LOCATION: San Sebastián, Spain
I wore this the evening we arrived in San Sebastian and went straight out for dinner. I am drooling thinking about those pintxos right now!! My new culottes worked great for all over the trip! I was unsure about the combo of wide legged bottoms + oversized jacket, but it totally worked! And I needed that jacket, those sea breezes!

LOCATION: Biarritz, France
Speaking of epic, can we JUST for one second talk about the hydrangeas all over France?! DEAD. We took a little day trip to Biarritz from San Sebastian, where we beached at the base of this hydrangea hill. I wore this dress many times on the trip (still available in limited sizes!) earning it the title of MVP. It was just as lovely to wear on the beach in Biarritz, as walking all over Paris, and a big day in Barcelona.

LOCATION: Porto, Portugal
Ah, Porto. Porto was pound for pound my favorite city we visited! Again, after being in the car all day, I changed from a road trip outfit into this for exploring and dinner on our first night. This is a random dress from Urban like two years ago that I threw in my suitcase last minute, but got a ton of wear out of. Something about the tank and loose fit makes it extra comfy. Very similar one at Madewell right now!

LOCATION: Porto, Portugal
See what I mean? Porto, showing off! This romper was also a surprisingly very comfortable and cute option for travel. I wore it on our full day in Porto and then my full solo day in Paris on the way home. I have to give a shout-out to this little vintage purse - such a random cheap find, it has served me well, but has definitely seen better days. I've been saying I think the next/real purchase I want to make is the perfect crossbody purse, so hit me with your recommendations!

LOCATION: Aviero, Portugal
Sandwiched between Porto and a few non-stop days in Spain, we spent a couple days in the beach town of Aviero. This was some quality beach time. On this day I made everyone wear our team suits (total propaganda on my part - I own this suit in yellow and convinced everyone else it would make a great team suit so I could get it in a different color ;) btw this suit is still available in plenty of colors and sizes and would recommend it SO much that I bought it twice. Anyway Kathleen lent me this oversized linen button-up for the day and I'm now convinced it's the chicest beach cover-up EVER.
| sunnies: ban.do, identical dupe! | purse: vintage | jumpsuit: Old Navy | shoes: LOBO |
LOCATION: Madrid, Spain
I wore this jumpsuit again for our one full day in Madrid - huge beautiful city, not nearly enough time, but we did as much as we could! Including: visiting this little old shoe shop, where I bought a couple pairs of what is THE Spanish shoe. Aren't they adorable and understated and like what you could buy at Madewell right now? Also, I finally found a dupe for these gold sunnies I bought from ban.do years ago!

LOCATION: Barcelona, Spain
Barcelona is case 2 of an amazing city I didn't have nearly enough time in, but we did a lot! I loved this color combo and totally just blended in to the city ;) also I did not take off these shoes after I bought them.
Also packed but not pictured here:
- black wrap top - gift from Art. Great for travel but I think I washed it with a napkin (?) too linty to wear!
- camo t-shirt - mostly for travel but I also loled at bringing a piece of the South to Europe.
- graphic tank - I love my "Let's Get Lost" tank and it was my road trip uniform!
- workout tank x 2 - we actually exercised on this trip which was great! I could have brought more.
- gray striped button-up - this one! Perfect for a casual day or even a beach cover-up. Wore this a lot.
- tropical crop top - seen here. Only wore this on one night out to the Flamenco show. Could have skipped.
- crazy pants - haha I wear these exclusively when I'm at home, just breezy linen pants from India.
- black leggings - for travel!
- workout bottoms x 2 - constantly in rotation. My Lulu shorts were great for roadtrippin' too.
- printed shorts - these don't really fit me anymore and I only wore them once. Should have picked better!
- black suede shorts - worn once with the crop top. But super cute!! I need to take outfit pics with these.
- very old Billabong dress - felt very "Spain" and I did wear it a couple times. Doesn't really fit anymore.
- rain jacket - I didn't need this at all!
- fleece pullover - mostly for the plane.
- old running shoes - wore these a bunch and left them behind in Barcelona. Perfect!
- brown leather sandals - ok didn't end up wearing these much because they are not comfortable.
- two piece suit - this one!
This widget includes everything I packed that's still available, with some approximations. Go crazy! Help me pay my bills! I'm joking!
