Learned my lesson there! Too bad because I really liked that bag. Buying a woven tote in France will be the perfect souvenir, they have so many beautiful ones everywhere. A yellow leather tote will be so summery and such a great accessory, that sounds perfect. I hope you have a really lovely time on your trip, I can't wait to hear all about it.<br />Thanks for the tip about the leggings because I have some I was thinking of bringing to Vienna and I definitely will now. It's all I can do not to pack up right now I'm so excited to go. ;)<br />Thank you Kim xxxDaniBPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02633155240779845497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3818151513249030194.post-19391487297670939032018-06-17T07:40:37.150-04:002018-06-17T07:40:37.150-04:00Dana so excited for you going to New Orleans next ...Dana so excited for you going to New Orleans next month! Those espadrilles are the perfect hot weather shoe in my opinion, I bought mine at Net-a-Porter (I couldn't find a store that carried them here in Canada). I did have to try and send back though because the heel heights vary greatly, I bought the lower ones (80 mm) after sending back the 100mm which were just too high.<br />Velvet is such a great brand and I knew nothing of it before I bought these dresses, just perfect warm weather clothing... so smart that you're already a fan! I hope you have lots of fun packing up for your holiday. xxxDaniBPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02633155240779845497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3818151513249030194.post-64759094937683245222018-06-16T19:53:42.512-04:002018-06-16T19:53:42.512-04:00Dani love everything you packed.

I love natural materials and try to bring linen with me on my trips as it feels great and looks chic even wrinkled. I know what you meant Dani about the bag. I really pondered bringing a woven tote on this trip and others. I usually don’t as they get trashed. I’m bring a big leather Annabel Ingalls yellow tote that can take a beating and can double as a pool bag. I know as soon as I get to France though I’ll want to buy a tote to take home. I can’t wait to hear about your packing to Vienna. All I can say is for that part of Europe I pack leggings that can double as long underwear even in the summer, and many scarves. Your trench will be perfect too. By the way, love that coverup so gorgeous!! We need to see you in a few photos! xo Kim kim at northerncalstyle.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12710545630442890027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3818151513249030194.post-48534508763552723762018-06-16T18:41:30.642-04:002018-06-16T18:41:30.642-04:00Absolutely love this post!

Love the dresses and that fabulous jacket. I am a huge fan of Velvet and hoping over to their website now.

I can't believe how often I've worn that piece because it's so distinctive too but it's actually quite versatile, and you're right it's good with black and with white jeans too. <br />Thank you SD!! xxxDaniBPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02633155240779845497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3818151513249030194.post-37896912525955478412018-06-16T15:06:08.935-04:002018-06-16T15:06:08.935-04:00Patricia I remember that faux fur top very well an...Patricia I remember that faux fur top very well and I wish I still had it. That was a terrible week. I still can't believe it. I thought Kim wrote such a great post about Kate Spade that week... I couldn't write anything- I could barely cope with thinking about the state she must have been in. People do suffer so. It's horrible. <br /><br />Eastern Med is really something to look forward to, I'm excited for you. Lovely time of year to be in Rome too. I hope you like my next travel colour story, we'll be in Vienna for 10 days, music concerts and dinners out so it's lots of dressing up. I typically travel carry-on but I'm bringing a suitcase for this one... really looking forward to it.

Considering a ...Vava sequins are something I love! Considering a sequin dress for our trip to Vienna...<br /><br />It's been a really rough couple of weeks I so agree with you. I was devastated about Kate Spade. Strange I guess to feel that way about someone I was never going to meet but she was such an inspiration. I can't imagine how she must have been suffering to leave her daughter, it must have been terrible for her. So sad, and then another amazing personality, Anthony Bourdain, just two days later.<br /><br />Definitely rough times for Canada-US relations. As you know half of my family is American and I just think of us as one happy family so I am NOT enjoying it. Where is it all going? The news can be very difficult to take right now. xxxDaniBPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02633155240779845497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3818151513249030194.post-61770141565728943772018-06-16T11:27:18.711-04:002018-06-16T11:27:18.711-04:00You don't know how lucky you are to have an in...You don't know how lucky you are to have an intelligent leader!Vavahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09403948691359698818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3818151513249030194.post-15005561069072253752018-06-16T11:26:37.445-04:002018-06-16T11:26:37.445-04:00Perfect ensembles!!!

I have one item from Velvet, a sequin tank top.<br /><br />It's been a rough couple of weeks..........Kate Spade, Anthony Bourdain (loved him and have seen him in person), and then the US President behaving like a spoiled toddler with your PM.

I really l...Hi Dani, lovely to hear from you again. I really like your Horses Atelier dress - I need clothes that don't draw attention to the waist area! Alternating your other dresses was a clever idea - and they look light enough to be washed and air dried if necessary. I'm looking forward to your next travel colour story too. We are going on a cruise to the Eastern Med in early October, with 3 days in Rome afterwards; I might need warmer clothes for the Rome part. <br /><br />You were the first person I thought about when I heard that Kate Spade had died - remember your faux fur top? That was a sad week.Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05504513116873595049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3818151513249030194.post-86850355856247788032018-06-16T10:31:36.311-04:002018-06-16T10:31:36.311-04:00That jacket is gorgeous!

Maybe a paisley if I'm feeling wild. I would not normally gravitate to an embellished jacket. This one is lovely and so perfect with all the dresses you had on the trip. I can see it working well with black trousers or jeans too. <br /><br />I've never tried Velvet. The styles seem right up my alley. Are you happy with the quality thus far?
