We’re leaving for Italy today and I am having mixed feelings about it! Although I’m so excited, I’ve never left my kids for this long and it makes me sad to think about. But I’m so ready to get some quality time with Joe and enjoy my first time in Europe! I’ll be sharing all about our trip when we get back, but today I wanted to share some of the essentials I’m packing for Italy! And be sure to follow my Instagram to see pictures from our trip!
WHAT I’M PACKING FOR ITALY
: TRAVEL ESSENTIALS
Each of us can only bring a carry-on suitcase, so of course we are bringing our favorite Away suitcases. We’ve had them for years and they hold up so well. Each of our kids have their own color too. I’m also bringing this Free People lookalike quilted tote from Amazon! The quality is so good and it holds a lot, so it’s going to be my personal item.
I ordered a ton of travel items for Amazon including these packing cubes and this $25 toiletry bag that holds so much!!! I also had a lot of people tell me to bring European plug adaptors so we can charge everything at night. We bought these ones, they come in a pack of 2! We’re also bringing our favorite portable chargers.
Lastly, I’m pretty worried about the long flight, so I ordered this inflatable neck pillow and this foot rest – both had great reviews!

: CLOTHING BASICS
Since I can only bring a carry-on, I packed items that I can wear multiple times and style different ways! I made an order from Adidas and everything is so good. I’m most excited about these dark blue track pants pictured above, and so excited about the red jacket too because I can throw it over anything. I also packed my favorite simple tank, black jeans, a fancier black dress, trench coat, gray cardigan, and more! See everything else I packed below!

: SHOES + ACCESSORIES
The only shoes I packed are Adidas sneakers! By now, everyone knows they’re my staple. They are so comfy too, which is a must since we will be walking a lot. You can see all my favorites here (be sure to size down a half-size in all). I also ordered these mesh flats from Amazon and they are surprisingly so comfortable! And they go with any outfit.
I also ordered my first MZ Wallace bag and I’m in love! I decided to get the bright orange because I packed mostly neutrals and love having a pop of color. I was too nervous to bring my LV bags, so I’m really happy I went with the MZ Wallace bag!
