You are super organized. I am a complete opposite. I usually pack in the morning for an afternoon flight. If I forget to pack something, I just pick it up at my destination. Airports and some hotels have awesome shops. That’s how I got my favorite cardigan. :)
Hi, we were in both London and Paris in December, absolutely beautiful, we are a walking family, we love to explore, some days we walked 8 miles. A piece of advice, I would bring supportive running shoes such as, as ASICS or Brooks Because there is so much to see, especially if you are on the go walking a lot and exploring. Enjoy! I can’t wait to hear all about it when you return!
We are flying to London from AZ on Christmas Eve and returning New Years Eve. London is so magical at Christmas. Can't wait! Hope you have fun on your trip!!
I love the way you have planned out your outfits! I really enjoy all of your looks. We are going to Paris early next year and I just ordered a few items from Quince as well. Hoping to do a curated wardrobe going forward. Have a great trip!
This is so funny! For the past two months I have been eyeing those pants and they are in my cart. Going to pull the plug and order them. Also my new fav is Stradivarius' short trench! Love it. I'm so happy you did this because I lost 30 lbs. this summer and I'm back into medium but being petite I can do smalls in some so this video was perfectly timed. I just love to travel vicariously with you as well. I am caregiving two people so right now that's not an option so with you I go for now lol. I'm planning a trip abroad and you convinced me to upgrade at least once in my life!!
I hope you love them, they are so comfy! Congrats on your weight loss! I am trying to get back in shape myself. Being a caregiver is so hard you for sure need to upgrade at least once! You deserve it! Xoxo
In 2017, my husband and I stopped flying economy after an annoying 5-hour flight. We now only fly first/business class, no matter how long or short the flight. Sometimes the price is painful, but it is ALWAYS worth it. I love the pods with the beds!!! Enjoy! 😍 Can't wait to hear about your trip!
I totally understand that! I wish we could do that too but for us our main airline that goes nonstop is Southwest. I am so excited to have privacy and a bed! Thank you!
@@LuxPurselove Yes, I understand that totally! Our main carrier here is United, so while it might be even more luxurious on other flights, this is what we're stuck with! I'm excited FOR you!
I am amazed with your organization. I am the gal who is throwing things in the suitcase the night before a flight when we have to leave the house at 4am! I need to learn from you. Great purchases! I'm going to try compression socks too. Let us know how you like them.
I actually love these pieces and I've no doubt the colors have lots to do with it. I love neutrals and black is my absolute favorite color. Now, let me say this... 13:39 outfit is STUNNING (worn together or separate)!!!! TFS💛
I really like these neutrals a lot and I am usually a pop of color girl. That dress is fabulous! I love that if it's warm I can leave the cardigan off.
I’m so happy for your upcoming trip!! Yaaay! I also pack a lot of black when I travel, just an FYI, Chicos has the best pull on slacks in black. They come in wide, flared and straight leg styles. So easy to wash and wear. Yay on the upgrade as well! I can’t wait for your return and to see your goodies! Oh I just love those two cities!!🥰 Blessings!
@@LuxPurselove I only have good luck with their pants, otherwise I sometimes think they are kind of old lady ish! Cough-cough LOL. Oh wait…I am 71 now! 😊😊 And maybe their tees🤷♀
I felt your excitement at business class, and i understand! I've flown to spain/Italy a number of times... business class is a dream! I have a kind of funny story. The first time we flew to Italy, you could still smoke on international flights. I was pregnant but didn't know. I thought i was sick from the smoking. I think i complained 100 times! My husband said they changed the rules because of my complaining 🤦♀️
Oh my goodness How awful for you! I remember the smoking as well! You could be in isle 10 and 11 was smoking! So awful!!! I’m so happy for the upgrade and nonsmoking!
Thanks for sharing, Melinda! Great idea to start wearing the shoes early so they’re absolutely comfortable by the time the trip comes around. Can’t wait for your trip to happen! Exciting times!
Good to know! It’s 100% Mongolian cashmere. And what I totally forgot to say in the video was they have free shipping on any order and 365 days free returns! I am ordering the cashmere pants when they come back in stock.
Hi, Melinda! I just would like to suggest that you check the meteorologic previsions for Paris before leaving the USA. It's really hot in France in August. And September last year was hot too. Just a cardigan for the evening is normally fine. We can really feel the climate change here in Europe. I wish you a wonderful trip to Paris and London!!! 🙏🏽🤞🏽
Lovely holiday haul , beautiful sweater and jewellery.The socks sound so good, sore feet and blisters are a big no- no.Your clothes are always immaculate. Congratulations on the up grade, hope you have a wonderful safe trip ❤❤❤
Business Class back to US is usually not as meaningful as the flight overseas because it is a day flight. Don’t get me wrong it’s always better BUT worth the upgrade….debatable.
I understand that which is why our original booking was premium economy. But at this price it is beyond worth it to us after being smashed into Southwest for years. We are just giddy about it!
@@LuxPurselove very comfortable sneakers that are popular amongst doctors and nurses, but have now become more widespread in their popularity. They have pretty colorwaves.

I love the striped top-so timeless and chic. Have a safe trip!
@@mckenziehart6228 Thank you! Xoxo

That is how my hubby packs too, probably less stressful than what I do!
Love these videos! I do the trip planning thing way ahead too. Really looking forward to hearing how much fun you guys had on this journey.
It makes it so much easier to plan ahead. Thank you!
Beautiful outfits! I have been very curious about Quince, I think I will give them a try!😊
You should! I love the pieces I got! :)

Great haul!! Can you do a video on what makeup and skincare you brought and how you packed it?
Thanks! I will try and do a pack with me video if I have the time.
Have a good trip in Paris 🌺💕🌺
Thank you! 😃
Beautiful haul for your trip ❤😊
Thank you! 🤗
@@LuxPurselove your welcome
Linen trousers are great, it should still be pretty warm in France and the size medium will allow for extra croissants 😊.
I was thinking the same thing lol! ;)
If you’re feet, legs, ankles swell you’ll know. Love the hoodie. Is it a cashmere blend? 😊
Good to know! It’s 100% Mongolian cashmere. And what I totally forgot to say in the video was they have free shipping on any order and 365 days free returns! I am ordering the cashmere pants when they come back in stock.
Your hair looks really pretty
Thank you!
You sure know how to find great deals! I love all of your new purchases. 😊
Thank you!💗

Yes, I always check the weather before traveling anywhere. Don't want to pack for the wrong type of weather. Thanks so much, I am excited to go!

Thank you! A blister can ruin the whole trip. I am so excited to go! Xoxo
Love holiday prep! I just got my coat and mittens 🤗🤗🤗
So fun! Can’t wait to see the coat and mittens!💗
I have that Tommy Bahama dress in the blue print. I love it! So comfortable and easy to pack.
It's so good! I have one in denim too.
Hi Melinda. Snap! We have the same feet. I completely understand all your struggles - they are my struggles as well.
It's hard to find good fitting shoes!
Enjoy your trip darling. ❤
Thank you Sabrina! Xoxo
Hi 😊 I love linen trousers! So nice ❤
They are!🩷
Business is the only way to go, you will never go back!
I am so excited!!
Have a safe and fun trip ❤

Speaking of bright luggage tags, do you have air tags for all of you bags?? Super helpful😊
Yes! I forgot to say that in the video but I bought enough for all the bags.:)
What do you think about Hoka sneakers
I have never heard of them.
@@LuxPurselove very comfortable sneakers that are popular amongst doctors and nurses, but have now become more widespread in their popularity. They have pretty colorwaves.
I came in 4th, woohoo!😊
🥳🥳🥳
First🎉
Watching Dear Melissa
