I am in love with the scent of Nuxe since I found it in a French pharmacy. I love this simple deodorant - it works well, smells nice and dries quickly.

This shirt was so comfortable and ironed easily. It looked great with shorts and linen pants - open and buttoned!

No one wants to be fighting slipping straps or uncomfortable wires. These pack easily, wash well and are super comfortable. They wear nicely under tighter and looser shirts. Note, they are ribbed, but so far that hasn't shown through any of my shirts...

I was wearing these in Navy every time I was mistaken for a Parisian. Coincidence? Maybe not! They are lightweight, comfortable and iron easily (didn't wrinkle while wearing, just when jammed in the suitcase). Order a size up, they shrink a tiny bit....

A four pack of comfortable summer bras for under $30? Yes. Please. Again, I was looking for something that would be comfortable and pack easily. These fit the bill and are holding up well after several months of regular use.

This was my favorite thing to wear on vacation - especially paired with blue linen pants. It is lightweight, comfortable but still structured really nicely. It just so happens that I am wearing this shirt in every picture I love from vacation - it ju...

This crossbody is perfect for everyday use and travel - especially if you're going to be using public transit/heading through pick-pocket areas. The two main zippered pockets are surprisingly roomy and the little zippered pockets on the front and bac...

I speak a little bit of French, but wanted my kids and husband to get into the spirit and embrace the language. People told me that the French wouldn't need or want us to speak their language and while most everyone did speak English, I found that th...

I took ONE pair of shoes on our trip to Europe this summer and I needed them to work in Oxford/Cottswolds, London, Paris and rainy Scotland. These Sorels handled all weather perfectly AND stayed looking nice throughout the trip.

We loved this apartment in the 10th Arrondissement. It was a 5 minute walk to Gare du Nord and just a little bit further to Gare du Est, which made it really easy to use the metro. The host was lovely and the apartment is comfortable. We loved the hu...

These are my FAVORITE linen pants. I love the olive green pair for traveling (and when I'm subbing at school).

I typically don't like sleep masks, but I always try to wear one on overnight flights. This one was actually really comfortable and stayed on through the flight! If my 7 year old had sat still, I think I would've slept really well with it haha!

I actually found this portable charger during my adventures as a PTO president whose phone kept dying -- but no travel list is complete without one. And this one truly is exceptional. I bought a second charger for our trip aboard this summer that my ...
