I'm Taking a Trip to Paris, and All I Want to Do Is Shop for It—30 of My Finds
While travel for me has been pretty nonexistent lately, I have a trip to Paris coming up, and I've reached a peak excitement level. Not only am I ready to hop on a plane again to travel to one of my favorite cities, but I'm also excited about all of the pieces I'll be packing into my suitcase. As a fashion editor, outfit planning is truly one of my favorite parts of traveling because it pushes me to think about my outfits more than I do in everyday life and order some of the items I've been eyeing. And yes, I love documenting what I'm wearing when I have a trip somewhere.
That being said, I've been thinking a lot about the shopping list for my upcoming trip and have it edited down to some of my favorite finds and all of the cool things on the market that are hitting on the late-summer and early-fall trends. Ahead, see the pieces that landed on my Paris shopping list.
Clogs are already a trend that's all over the streets of Paris, so it seems like the perfect place to test-drive them.
Plissé pleats are luxe yet comfortable, so they're perfect for travel.
Striped pants are all I can think about, and they feel especially right for this trip.
I can personally vouch for how comfortable these are and already plan on bringing them for days walking around.
Another piece I already own and plan on packing.
