It was a little hard for me to wrap my head around packing for this trip because we don’t wear fall clothes in Miami! I’m sharing exactly what I wore during our 10 day trip and I actually wore most of what I packed! A lot of these pieces were mixed and matched – never wearing the exact outfit again!!
I also knew I would have to pack things that were more for daytime, and that could easily transition into night, because I travelled to Paris and London with the kids. It was a family vacation so I kept it casual . A crossbody bag would have been more annoying with my kids ( I’m always having to carry some of their stuff) so I brought the Chanel 22 bag. The BEST travel & every day bag – I highly reccomend!
No heels this trip – Chase and I love to walk! I ended up wearing my sneakers once in London so probably could have just packed my boots!
Wondering what we did with the kids in Paris? Well we were there for three days – highlights: we went to the Musee D’orsay, Tuillerie Gardens, The Louvre (we had an excellent 1-hour tour guide) and ate at Lou Lou’s after! We ate at L’avenue twice (a great Bistro) and one of my favorite meals was L’Ami Jean – I wasn’t able to post any pics that night because my phone died! I’m not a huge meat eater and couldn’t stop eating their delicous stews. We def had to come home and order Jake room service as they didn’t serve a burger or chicken and fries or pasta.
We went to Bon Marche – the most amazing department store! Didn’t do much shopping as we were with the kids and hubby… but wow I could have made done serious damage if let to my own devices lol!
We took the train to London which by the way was seriously a schlep with 4 huge bags and two kids- but it was the easiest way and we made it! Jake for the first time had to help us with luggage- no one there helps you… great learning experience for our kiddos!
In London we visited with family so we didn’t do much sight seeing. We went to the Tower of London which Jake absolutely loved! Ate at Fisher’s in Marlyebone and then went to the cutest book store in Marylebone called Daunt Books. We ate at the Ivy and while my sis in law watched the kiddos, Chase and I went for the most delish Indian food at a place called Gymkhana- highly recommend! We went to Harvey Nichols which is fab department store. Didn’t make it to Harrods sadly! Honestly, the shopping in Paris surpasses the shopping in London – the exchange rate helps too!
I would say London is great with kids and Paris is just ok – there was an instance where Chloe had to go to the bathroom while we were walking to one of the museums so I went into a restaurant and asked if she could use the toilet and they flat out said no! In that instance I missed the ease of being home!
