    Friends! I hope this email finds you well and rested! I’m writing with Paris Fashion Week dressing on the brain. This weekend, I’ll be packing my wares and flying off to the City of Light for the last leg of fashion month shows.

    In an effort to organize myself, I’m taking the opportunity to share what I’ll be bringing with me.

    LUGGAGE:

    Longtime readers will recognize most of this lineup. I’m scarred by stories of fashion week luggage getting lost or arriving late, so I tend to carry on two outfits just in case. Both this Dagne Dover duffel and Rimowa cabin bag give big Mary Poppins energy and hold an incredible amount of stuff.

    TRAVEL OUTFIT:

    I’m anticipating that my hotel room won’t be ready when I land. What I wear on the plane will have to be both comfortable and stylish, to see me through a long travel day and the first few hours of my time in Paris. Tailored sweats plus layers on top—and big sunglasses—should do the trick.

    KEY PIECES:

    Suiting is always a part of my Paris Fashion Week wardrobe. This season, I’m breaking away from my usual black suit and trying new colors and shapes. Comfortable but sharp shoes, like black and brown loafers, will work in most environments.
