My sunglasses probably received the most chatter.  I love a basic aviator but these in particular can be found here at Nordstrom.  If you don’t want to spend the money on Ray-Bans, then I also wear and love these from Loft.  I always take one pair of glasses with me on a trip, and to me, nothing is better than an aviator! I also had a lot of questions about what shoes I walked in.  One day, we walked 6 miles alone and then another day, we walked 3.5.  Everyday, we walked and walked and walked (because that’s what you do on European vacations!).  I wore two kinds when we were at our ports.  First, I wore my Sketcher’s Go-Walks. I originally bought these for outside with my kids.  Everyday, I’m out front running around with my kiddos, going to the park, going on walks, and so I wanted an easy shoe to throw on for those activities.  These shoes are so, so, so comfy that I’ve recommended them to my mom, my aunt, my clients…they’re wonderful!  They also come in a variety of colors too…but I, of course, bought pink!  

I absolutely love them!  They also come in green, yellow, purple, grey, black, navy, and blue.  I’ve washed mine in the washing machine twice and they wash great too.  You will love these little shoes! I also wore my Toms too.  Toms are just easy.  They’re comfy and easy to throw on.  They don’t have a ton of sole support, but they work perfectly for walking and strolling on vacation.  Plus, Toms are just so darn cute, right?! …aren’t these faded camo Toms just so cute?!?!  I just think they’re the perfect little shoe especially for fall.  I love, love, love them! I couldn’t find a picture of my shoes for our evening stuff (because they’re 3 years old), so I’ll use this one instead.  On cruises, you often dress up at night, so I brought a neutral pair of heels to wear with everything.  We dressed up 4 out of the 7 nights and these shoes worked perfectly with everything.  When you’re packing, try and bring as many basics as you can so that you don’t over-pack.  

One great neutral pair of shoes should be able to work with all of your evening looks. Sheaffer and I have blogged about these wedges so many times that I’m pretty sure each and every one of you own a pair.  They are the most comfortable wedges you’ll ever wear. I like to wear wedges on an airplane because my legs are shorter and my feet don’t touch the ground (so a wedge helps).  best shoes for marathon racingIf you are one of the few who don’t have these shoes, you should get them.  coolest nike shoes 2013 I picked up this cross-body bag a long time ago, and it’s all I carry on vacations like this.  doctor who shoes for sale ukI love a cross-body because they keep my hands free and are light.  order custom made nike shoes

At home, I adore a big tote…but when traveling, I try and scale down.  Since mine can’t be found any longer, I have a few similar options here… This bag is part of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, so it has a great price right now.  It also comes in two other colors too. I’m kind of obsessed with this Jessica Simpson bag too.  It also comes in two other colors and looks really roomy and soft…perfect for traveling.latest nike shoes with price in india For a smaller cross-body option, I like this little faux-leather bag.  running shoes for long distanceIt comes in 3 other colors as well. Doesn’t this faux-suede tote look luxurious?!?  And it is on sale right now!  A bag like this is perfect for traveling.  Check it out in purple and black too. I’m also loving this leopard tote.  

You would be the most stylish gal on the flight with this bag! 1. A great pair of flat boots.  Since these boots are marked down $80 right now, I tried them on last week…and bought them for my next trip.  They’re so cute, so comfy and my favorite part is the zipper in the back… 2. You need to pack a light-weight jacket.  I love, love, love a little military jacket like this one from Old Navy.  They’re light, they’re easy to pack, they go with everything and they layer well. 3. A great scarf is an airplane/travel essential.  Airplanes are cold, so a scarf is the perfect layer.  Plus, after you’ve been sitting/eating/napping/drinking on a plane for several hours, you just look rumbled…so a scarf is a nice way to hide the rumbled look.  This taupe one is so pretty! I also love this houndstooth one as well.  It would look really chic thrown over a plain old t-shirt and jeans. It’s one of them!  This was my third Holland America cruise and so far, I have no complaints.  

As a travel agent, I come into contact with cruises all the time…my favorites would probably be Holland America, Norwegian and Princess.  Royal Caribbean is good too…a lot of them are really wonderful, but those three are my faves.

My feet are very sensitive, so my Tieks are great to bring along, but I need something a little more supportive on days I’m walking a lot. The elastic around my ankle can sometimes hurt my feet. A classic pair of Sperry’s are a great option for travel because they’re comfortable, cute and durable. I personally find that my Converse High Tops are my favorite pair of casual shoes to travel with, but I sometimes pack a pair of Toms instead.
