I love where I live (Ontario, Canada) in the fall but my second favourite is Austria, where you can walk through vineyards, taste the new wine (wine before it's ready for bottling) and eat in-season food at tiny little guest houses in private vineyards. I ate roast duck in a mom & pop gasthaus outside of Vienna. I ate picnic table style, elbow to elbow with strangers in front of a roaring fireplace with a dog sleeping in front of it.
You are my new favorite channel now. You are relatable, don't call your audience "okay guys" constantly. You show items that average Joe's can afford and make sense of and also you have used / worn these items! You are not showing items you just received,.you have tried or worn them. ❤ so happy to have found your xhannel
Awww, this is the best compliment I've gotten on RUclips, thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️. I really am trying to just share with everyone out there what I share with my best friends, and sharing what my friends share with me too. I really want this to be a community where we all support each other in pursuing all the adventures we want to pursue, no matter what our age. (And look good while doing it, of course 😂). Have a wonderful day!!
Oh my God!! Loved your video!! I am 50 and need something simple, modern, fun, and young look for my Italy trip!!! I got some many ideas and color which I love. Fall girl here even though I am from Florida. Thank you!!!!!!
Your videos are always so informative, interesting, and fun. I enjoy your upbeat vibe and outlook on life. I totally agree with you on the latest baggy trend. It is a definite "no, no" for me as a 5' 1" curvy girl now morphed into an apple shape at age 65. Keep up the great work! Ginny
Good video. Another suggestion though for anyone who has slightly larger thighs: if taking dresses either to do walking in or if you are just going out in humid weather, remember to take a pair of undershorts. Taking care of chafing while on vacation is not fun. I have done full days of touring in a skirt/dress in Europe with no problem, but did end up with chafing word the end of the day and it will happen almost immediately if in humid weather such as the southern US.
Great tip!! I did buy a couple of pairs of legging shorts last year with the pockets, so it helps save on chafing and a place to hide your phone and/or wallet 😊. (And yes, it is hot and humid down here in the South 😂)
I love this video. I can do leggings with no coverage however, I love that you have a look book at the end. More people need to do this in packing videos
Wow! Thanks for showing how everything went with everything!! It's Spring here, but the weather is doing the same thing; warm, cool, wet, who knows. I live in Sydney and love to visit my brother in Tasmania any time of year.
Good morning!! Both Australia and Tasmania are high on my list to visit!! Seems like no matter where you are those transition seasons can be tough to plan for, LOL
I love your style and videos! I think all your outfits are awesome and I like the leggings. I do a ton of travel for work and dress business casual so the colored jeans and jacket work for me. I’m going to implement these colors in the future. Thanks for bringing us these videos! 🩷
Always fun to watch your videos. Informative and you have such a fun pleasant vibe. The gray hair coming in is looking good on you. It will be interesting to see what you do in the future.
Thank you so much for watching and the kind comments!! Two of my dearest friends have gone "natural" and it looks so beautiful on them, so I figured why not?! I can always color again if I really don't like it...its just hair after all 😁
Can you do something like this except you pack for an airline with a strict 7kgs/15lb luggage restriction total for both cabin bag and personal items? Unfortunately most of the airlines I fly in Europe, Asia and Australia strictly enforce bag/s weight as well as dimensions.
Thank you. We are taking a 17 day European cruise in March. I am bring the same suitcase and a different backpack. I'm so glad to see you can pack lots. Haha. Since it will be Mar, I'm sure I will need warmer ,bulkier clothes which we all know is harder to pack.
Spring and Fall, definitely challenging seasons to pack for!! Make sure to check your luggage sizes if you are taking a European airline, from a lot of the comments and a brief look online, they are very strict! 😊
I'm headed to Italy next week and it looks like the weather will be more summer than fall. It was 85 in Rome and 88 in Palermo at 5 pm yesterday.I love your luggage, but both pieces are too big to take on Swissair. I can't fit much in a personal item thats only 3.9 inches wide (15.7 x 11.8 x 3.9"). My carry-on has to be less than 21.5 x 15.7 x 9. Weight for each can't exceed 17.6 lbs.
Beautifully put together! I don't do leggngs but everything looks great on you! I have no sense of style, but you sure do! Bad foot makes it all very hard in terms of shoes, for sure!
Leaving tomorrow for Sicily. I packed in an underseat bag as a carry on and a small Pacsafe backpack as well as a medium sized check in bag. Your luggage wouldn’t be allowed on Swiss and Lufthansa. You might get away with the backpack you have as your carry on plus a decent sized purse( most tote bags would be too big). You would have to check your carry on. Thanks for your wonderful ideas!
Good job with your picks. All look good on you. I am packing for a 7 day trip, so learned a lot. I cannot wear your style to old but I can use all the ideas for my body shape though. Thank you, I know it took a lot of work and you made it look easy. Peace!
You really could have left out, "too old" and conveyed the SAME message... 💯 Food for thought to remember, "the goal, is old..." everyone doesn't make it. 💯❤
Proper culottes are wider cut as you go down the leg & more cropped, much closer to a calf length split skirt while still looking like pants. The ones you have are probably gauchos like you originally said or just a flowy wide cut
Cute and practical clothes. Heading to Spain and Italy next week for almost a month with carry on and backpack only. Challenging but it gets easier with every trip :). BTW, you’re an ‘Autumn’, not ‘winter’.
Definitely an Autumn! Finally our colors are back. Loved seeing this capsule in autumnal color scheme. Thank you for your down to earth approach. You are so friendly and upbeat. I wish you lived next door.
Question, can you take a pen and shove it through the zipper and open up that way. I am told this is what they do to get into your suitcase when they want something in it???
I've had a couple of pairs of joggers, the nicer ones I found at TJ Maxx and honestly didn't end up wearing them that much. My favorite joggers are ones I got at Walmart and I think they have them again this fall...they are their Athletic brand. 😊
Hi…quick Question on the chunky sweater… The khaki color… Do you have a brand name from target on that sweater? The page won’t link for me and it is so adorable on you.
Absolutely! It is Universal Thread, was part of the Fall Collection, hopefully you can find it. I wore it a ton this winter... perfect for the inconsistent weather in North Carolina 😂
@@GenxGypsy1968 Thank you so much. You are so sweet to reply. I realized after I watch the video it was from about five months ago so I can always do searches on thredUP, eBay etc. You are so sweet. I love that sweater and I am so glad I found your platform. Take care and have a great day. :-)
I put my underwear and socks in little plastic bags and packed them inside the Adidas tennis shoes and my little TSA first aid pouch iI slid down on one side of the suitcase. I have a video on how I pack that little first aid kit 😊
Plenty of people can afford it and even more expensive luggage. There are so many brands of luggage available so you should be able to find something similar that fits your budget. Just remember less expensive pieces may not be very durable.
What is your favorite fall destination? 🍁🎃🍂☀️
Ireland and Scotland

Thank you!! I LOVED to play dress up when I was little, so these are my favorite videos to make 😊. So glad you enjoyed it!

You looked adorable in all your outfits
I love your common sense approach. great video!
Thanks for the earth tones. Other videos I've seen tend to do capsule wardrobes with black and white which do not suit me.
delightful video...good tips for me as I prepare for a transatlantic cruise. thanks for your content and your enthusiasm!
Loved your little cow jacket! So cute. Well put together. Great colour combo!
❤❤❤❤❤loved the fashion show . including the leggings ❤ good job
That dress looks great on you!
Thank you 😊
I love this video. I can do leggings with no coverage however, I love that you have a look book at the end. More people need to do this in packing videos
Thanks for the video, I appreciated your take on a capsule wardrobe. Lots of great ideas 💛

Excellent color palette
Thanks for making & sharing this video. It really helps out and gives great ideas for a carry on 👌🏻
Thank you! Glad it was helpful 😊
Just found you. Great video. Sweetest Thing is soooo Gex X favorite
Fun outfits! Thank you for sharing!
Another great video!
Love this video. You are so down to earth, not pretentious.
Thank you 😀
You always choose the most flattering outfits. I'd love to have you as my personalist stylist for travel.
Thank you 😊

Great ideas. I avoid white when traveling. I am just to clumsy and it would show anything I spill or run into.
Thank you. We are taking a 17 day European cruise in March. I am bring the same suitcase and a different backpack. I'm so glad to see you can pack lots. Haha. Since it will be Mar, I'm sure I will need warmer ,bulkier clothes which we all know is harder to pack.

Did you mean palazzo pants? Thank you for the informative video
😂. I did… darn menopause brain! But back in high school (80’s) we did call them culottes.
Beautifully put together! I don't do leggngs but everything looks great on you! I have no sense of style, but you sure do! Bad foot makes it all very hard in terms of shoes, for sure!

You look the best in the leggings!
I would love to travel but definitely not alone but it would be great to have a travel 🧳 companion.
I was looking at the luggage. Is yours a 20 inch. There were a few different varities. Could you let me know which luggage you were showing
Outfit info starts at 4:50
Cute and practical clothes. Heading to Spain and Italy next week for almost a month with carry on and backpack only. Challenging but it gets easier with every trip :).
BTW, you’re an ‘Autumn’, not ‘winter’.
Ahh, thank you... I couldn't remember, its been years since I was assessed! Your trip sounds amazing, have a great time 😊
Definitely an Autumn! Finally our colors are back. Loved seeing this capsule in autumnal color scheme. Thank you for your down to earth approach. You are so friendly and upbeat. I wish you lived next door.

Palazzo pants?
What was your recommended joggers , not leggings from Amazon? I've been backing on your videos , cant find them. I think they had a cuff? Thank you
I've had a couple of pairs of joggers, the nicer ones I found at TJ Maxx and honestly didn't end up wearing them that much. My favorite joggers are ones I got at Walmart and I think they have them again this fall...they are their Athletic brand. 😊
What is outfit 1-3 ?

I have back troubles. How heavy is this carryon?
What brand are your white sneakers?
They are adidas, here's the link if you're interested: amzn.to/3ChFCTj. 😊
What about underclothes and medicine?
I put my underwear and socks in little plastic bags and packed them inside the Adidas tennis shoes and my little TSA first aid pouch iI slid down on one side of the suitcase. I have a video on how I pack that little first aid kit 😊
I love that luggage but who can afford it?
Plenty of people can afford it and even more expensive luggage. There are so many brands of luggage available so you should be able to find something similar that fits your budget. Just remember less expensive pieces may not be very durable.
