friday's fancies #86.

Greetings from Europe!  Today, {cv} and I are en route from Paris to Lucerne, Switzerland--and I would love to be sporting this get-up on our train ride. We managed to limit ourselves to only backpacks for this trip {to avoid lugging suitcases all over tarnation}, so most everything in my bag works together. The upside to Friday's Fancies? I can dream about having an endless closet in my suitcase which includes pretty prints like this one ;)


Soft and flowy, this Splendid Racerback Stripe Maxi Dress would be any traveler's dream. This downright dreamy color palette is both unexpected and fabulous.

Bauble Bar gets it right again with this Mini Monogram Necklace. It is understated enough to wear without worry while changing trains and navigating unknown streets ;)

Though I didn't bring a "real" purse on this adventure, I would have loved to sport this J.Crew Biennial Satchel. Big enough for my DSLR, this bag and I are a perfect match.

With seasonable temps, {cv} and I are prepared for all weather situations. A Fitted Cropped Jacket {like this one from Joe's Jeans} would be a versatile addition to my rotation, on or off vacation.

They may be basic, but these Sam Edelman Gracie Sandals are a definite step up from my Rainbows!

I hope you've been enjoying the sweet + summery guest posts I lined up while I've been gone :) There are a few more on the docket for next week which can't be missed! Thanks again for linking up while I'm away. I only wish we could be galavanting around Europe together. I'll see you back stateside next Friday!

  11. Hope you guys are having a blast on your trip! Enjoy Switzerland!

    My family is going to Spain next summer, and then I think Mark, Behr and I are going to visit some friends across the middle east as well. So I am definitely getting some good ideas here.
