Enjoy your trip to France! I used to go to Paris twice a year, once in the late spring and again in September, for my job. I also often was asked to give a demonstration on how to pack with only a carry on for one week -- ? I would choose my basic color (black, brown or navy) and pack a pair of tailored slacks, and a sleeveless scooped neck dress of that color, plus a pair of comfortable flats. Then my pjs and a change of underwear. Next one each of a sleeveless top (tank top), a short sleeve dressy T, and two 3 quarter sleeve Ts (white for black or navy, cream for brown). Any of these tops could be worn under the dress to change it up. A light weight dressier sweater and that was it other than a bit of makeup. The hotels provide shampoo/soap. A fold up shopping bag plus a collapsible nylon suitcase (IKEA) would also go in. Then on the plane I would wear jeans in my color scheme, t-shirt, lightweight sweater and a short dressy tailored raincoat (mine is a deep brown and I wore it with whatever color scheme) footies and tennis shoes (slightly dressy tennis shoes). Once in Paris, I would pick up scarves, a pair or toe of shoes, underwear (the underwear shops have incredibly beautiful bra and panty sets that wear well), perhaps a blouse, some fun jewelry and these would be my souvenirs that I would truly enjoy for a long time. Any other items purchased would be brought home in my extra suitcase or packed in my carryon which would be checked this time. I have found that brocantes and thrift shops will provide bubble wrap and tissue paper and will often be happy to wrap it securely for the trip home. I keep the shoe boxes and have packed food items in glass jars in them, tucked in with my dirty laundry. I usually went for 2-3 weeks and I always packed for one week and washed items and rewore them. Paris ladies buy good items that fit well and are flattering and wear them over and over rather than have a huge closet of clothes. Most of my favorite clothes/shoes were bought in Paris and most I am still wearing many years later.
I/ve been to Paris every year for 20 yrs (except 2020). Glad you're leaving the backpack at home. A flight attendant friend once told me that she can get in any restaurant in the world with a pair of nice black slacks, a nice white shirt, and a pearl necklace. Then one can add a jacket, scarf, and purse and voila!!!
I always bring an empty bag when going overseas!!! I’m glad you brought up about the purse cos pickpocketing in Paris is really bad! And the more you stand out the more you are a target. We watched tourists get attacked not violently just harassing them! Thankfully I blend in so only once did someone approach me and he got an ear full lol and backed off, that’s the Brooklyn girl in me 😂 And i also packed three colors, red, black and white to make packing easier and you can switch outfits easily.
For all the joy you have brought, not only to me during Covid, but to all who tune in, I wish you the most glorious and delightful trip you can imagine ! You have worked so hard these seasons and you deserve every bit of fun, glamour and relaxation you can find. I am touring my favourite Vintage shop tomorrow and will be thinking of the wonderful adventure you will be having! Enjoy it ALL!
A small tip; there are luggage scales that are much smaller than the bathroom scale you have. They are inexpensive and you will not have to leave it behind.
I am heading to Paris in a few weeks and my heart cannot take the excitement. It’s been so long since I’ve been able to be in my favorite city. Have the best trip. I cannot wait to see Paris through your photos and videos! Bon voyage! ♥️
Along with the empty suitcase and bubble wrap I also pack a bunch of giant rubber bands. They hold the items in the bubble wrap well. Have fun in Paris!
I put my cross-body bag on first then put my jacket or coat on over it. The strap can't be cut or yanked, and I can slide the bag slightly to the side under the coat, so it is not as visible. Wishing you much sucess at the flea!
Always a pleasure to watch your vids. Have a safe and enjoyable trip to Paris and of course, we look forward to you sharing every detail. Bon voyage! ✈️
Have a wonderful trip! Everything looks amazing on you. Smart to bring an extra case full of bubblewrap. There are small little luggage scales you hand your case from.
Another tip when you're travelling is to put your telephone number with country code on an A4 piece of paper and put it on the top inside your suitcase and on the outside an A4 piece with your flight numbers , name and Tele no in between the plastic wrap on your suitcase. I always plastic wrap to protect contents and case. Hope this helps
Oh YES on the layers. I have lived in Paris in the winters when you bundle up for the dark mornings and fling things off in the sweltering Metro. 🙂Perfect wardrobe for what I am confident will be a perfectly marvelous journey for you!! THANK YOU for sharing!
Have a wonderful time with your family in Paris. What a wonderful opportunity for your children. It’s a great lesson to learn that families that work hard together get to have fun together also. Have fun
You are brilliant! Have a fabulous time!! Went to Paris in the spring about 20 years ago .. ... I had a guy almost pick pocket me as I was boarding a train . He threw his hands up and smiled . Like hey, I tried!! Cheeky fellow!!!
I loved seeing you in a tanktop! I know it's not something we're used to but you are rocking it! Have a great time in Paris and I'm so looking forward to hearing about your adventures when you come back :)
I live two hour drive from Paris, and I have to say- it's already pretty cold in the mornings and evenings- that you do need to have a light coat. In the day it's usually nice, not hot at all. Enjoy the city!
Beautiful! I love high necked sleeveless tops, but they do not flatter my very broad shoulders. Both lbd’s are perfect, and the second one just gave me the inspiration for what to make with a large piece of navy fabric I have, and a pattern that’s nearly identical. Have fun, make sure you have plenty of tissues for when you tear up after you arrive, I can’t wait to see all your photos!
The variety of clothing works well together. However I would love to see how you get all those clothes and shoes in your personal bag. The last time I went I took one pair of Merrells which I wore everywhere which were so comfortable and saved so much room by not having in my suitcase. I always carry a bunch of zip lock bags in different sizes. The idea of filling the main suitcase with bubble wrap is genius. Some of us also mailed our used clothing and travel guides back to the states giving more room for new items.
How absolutely fabulous!!! Fantastic clothing and dare I say you are absolutely stunning. I cannot wait to see all of the photos and videos, and hear about your amazing trip. I am so excited for you my friend. 💋 Muah!
I am so envious of you ! You looks gorgeous in all your picks ! You are such a pretty women! Have the time of your life. Come back and share your experiences ❤
Good tips, but you missed your best take-a-long....your signature lipsticks!! Your joy anticipating another Parisian experience is palpable! Enjoy and safe travels.
Loved this video!! I wish I was going to Paris again!! Can’t wait to see your posts and videos from Paris. Also you look FABULOUS! Have an incredible time and enjoy it for all of us!!!❤️Liz in FL prepping for a hurricane this coming week!!!
Girl you look wonderful. You have definitely done major work on your body. I saw how you longed up the hill. Really have a great time. I know this has been your dream to go. Your Friend Joyce
I’m always curious to see what people bring back from Paris, I’ve the same kind of relationship with London and England. Love the bubble wrap tip. Enjoy your trip.
A 'Little Black Dress' is classic and always in style. Smart move. Betting a musical performance or two is on your agenda while over there. And with all that in mind, I'm reminded of the great Parisian singer Edith Piaf who wore nothing but black while performing and would only sing, never speaking a word.
Can't you buy a cheap scale once there? I recently emptied a storage locker and got a cheap scale at Target near the location so I could weight the boxes of items I wanted to ship home to myself. But I guess since the scale doesn't weigh much if the rest of the bag is filled with bubble wrap, it might not matter and easier to find the scale here in the US. How do you look so great after all your kids? You fit in dresses from a long time ago! You are blessed!
Hi Angela - Do you own a copy of Sara Silm’s book, “How To French Country”? Absolutely your artistic sensibilities, including the watercolor paint samples. Incredible photos as it shows, in muted tones, a family’s move to an uncared for country house among the Bearnaise hills, to make a home and a simpler life. Room by room, garden by garden. Breathtaking content.
Ha,ha,ha...Ang, I feel like I know you soooo well. I just Kneeeeeeew it! There was 'NO WAY' my girl was going to Paris and return empty handed! Lol! An empty extra suitcase...yesssssssss...BRILLIANT! HAVE A BLAST gf!!! and come back safely! Ya hear! 😊 I can't wait to see and hear ALL ABOUT your travels (while there &) when you return! Hasta Pronto! XOXO 😘 💕

You look amazing! Have a fantastic trip. Can’t wait to see the highlights.
Just started watching your channel doing some binge watching and really enjoying. Great ideas for packing
Oh love the chain belt! ❤

The little black dress is perfection on you....!!
Good afternoon, excellent ideas thank you for sharing Have a beautiful and blessed vacation stay safe.
I’m so happy for you! I hope you have a blast.
P.s. do you have any Latina blood?
Have a wonderful time with your family in Paris. What a wonderful opportunity for your children. It’s a great lesson to learn that families that work hard together get to have fun together also. Have fun
Good tips! FYI There are small luggage scales available that lighter than a scale...also, the "pleather" would be my last choice. Have a great trip.
I thought the "pleather" looked tacky.
I can't wait to see what you bring back from Paris!
Love the content of this video ; but it’s the figure on the Mom of Six for me!!!!❤
Have a safe and wonderful trip! Can't wait to see your finds when you return, I'm so happy for you!!
Love the red lip! Your skin is absolutely stunning! Have fun in Paris!
I’m new to your channel but I must say, you look fabulous! Happy to be here!
You are brilliant! Have a fabulous time!! Went to Paris in the spring about 20 years ago .. ... I had a guy almost pick pocket me as I was boarding a train . He threw his hands up and smiled . Like hey, I tried!! Cheeky fellow!!!
Genius idea with the bubble wrap and scale!!!
I hope we get to see what you brought back. We’re going on a Rhine River Christmas cruise. I can’t wait.
WOW! That navy tank! Bombshell!! Impeccable styling- you look amazing. So smart about the empty suitcase!!
Yes I'm thinking I need to know where that tank came from. 🤣
@@WildOnesHomestead I thought she said she got it from Target
Yes! Target! I'm seriously going to have to order some of those! (Especially if they're going to make me look like Angela! Good googamooga!)
Safe and blessed travels to you and your family.
I loved seeing you in a tanktop! I know it's not something we're used to but you are rocking it! Have a great time in Paris and I'm so looking forward to hearing about your adventures when you come back :)

An empty suitcase and a scale, that's brilliant!! Have a wonderful trip! ❤❤
❤. Have a wonderful, safe trip.
Great advice! Can't wait until my daughter and I go hopefully next summer.
Have the best time!

You look so FIT and awesome!
You look stunning!
I was in Paris during Christmas 2019. It was freezing but I had a great time. Will return in summer....
No when in Paris...🛫
Love your video. Question, why don't you bring a luggage hand held scale. A lot less heavy & you can easily keep it in your larger purse.
Enjoy!
Ha,ha,ha...Ang, I feel like I know you soooo well. I just Kneeeeeeew it! There was 'NO WAY' my girl was going to Paris and return empty handed! Lol! An empty extra suitcase...yesssssssss...BRILLIANT!

Have fun
Off to Barcelona very soon for two weeks with only my carry on.
Have a great time. DON’T FORGET TO THROW IN TAPE FOR THE BUBBLE WRAP. Enjoy!
Large rubber-bands will also do the job 👌
Wow! Great info, Thankyou! I want to know how you got in such good shape,you look great! Mother of six, well done!Aloha from Hawaii🌈
