I’m Traveling to Europe This Month & Here’s Everything I’m Packing in My Carry-On

Is it just me, or are many of us in our European summer era? Whether you’re headed on a trip this month (same!) or planning one for the fall, figuring out what to pack for a trip to Europe is almost as time-consuming as planning the trip itself. I’m headed to Dublin and Amsterdam at the end of August and am in the middle of stuffing my carry-on suitcase and personal item bag to the brim with all of my travel essentials, plus a few fun items like my new Melie Bianco Frieda Blue Recycled Vegan Crossbody Bag that I can’t wait to wear with my Just Black Denin The Throwback Straight Jeans .
