I'm heading to Europe this summer, and, thankfully as an editor, my list of priorities is pretty much solidified before my flight next month. Hotels? Check. Restaurant reservations? Check. Wardrobe? Check. While there are a few essentials still to be determined for my European Girl Summer abroad, I have to admit, the first thing I did after booking my plane tickets was search all corners of the internet for clothing with the exact vibe that would match.
Whether it's breezy linen pants or elevated, quiet luxury-looking staples, I first turned to Nordstrom to find all the best wealthy-looking items to add to my checked luggage on my summer travels this year. Below, I've shopped out a few items already en route to me, and those I'm eyeing heavily as I finalize my packing this week. Don't be surprised if you buy them all for yourself, too.
Starting off strong with these summery pants.
So pretty.
These are my favorite pair of sunglasses to wear during the warmer months.
Linen just screams summer in my eyes.
An entire set for less than $100? Sign me up.
A classic pair of gold hoops never goes out of style.
Butter yellow is going to be all the rage this summer.
I own this vest and, yep, it's just as good IRL as it looks online.
