I’ve started the shopping hunt for my trip to Europe next month! A classic trench coat was the first thing on my list. It’s easy to pack, and can be worn with so many different outfits that it is a definite must have. It’s also a “must-have” item for spring! I’ve seen them all over recently, and in many different colors like this pretty pastel blue one. The other things on my packing list included a great pair of sneakers, and the perfect purse to carry my camera along with everything else that’s normally in there! I’ve been on the hunt for a great pair of black sneakers for a while now…I swear everyone has the black Nike Free 5.0 sneakers, but I wasn’t a huge fan when I tried them on. Then I found these black New Balance training shoes which I loved immediately, and they have a gel cushion insole which I’ll be thankful for when I’m walking around Paris, London and Rome! I’ll also be thankful to have a a big purse for all of the shopping I know I’ll be doing. If you’re a fan of the bucket bag like I am, then you will really like this black drawstring one.
