On Sunday we are leaving for two weeks in Spain and London! We will be spending five nights in Barcelona, four nights on the Costa Brava and ending the trip with three nights in London. I have never been to Barcelona or the Costa Brava and cannot wait to explore it! And I am always happy for some time in London. 

I like to pack in a color scheme as it makes it easier for me to decide what to bring and helps make sure all of my pieces work well together. For Spain, I am focusing on red, brown, yellow, and white pieces as well as plenty of raffia accessories. For London, I am going with girly florals that will work best for day and night! 

In my July Links newsletter I shared quit a few of the accessories I’m already enjoying this summer but will take with me to Spain and London. Like this cute flower clip for wet beachy hair, the perfect summer clutch and the cute raffia crossbody that will work for daytime or evening. This one will double as my carry on and beach bag. I’m also packing my favorite summer necklaces for this trip too!

Plus, I am not a carry on girl, so while I will be bringing my full size shampoo and conditioner, I have found the holy grail product to replace my toner, Vitamin C, retinol and serums. You’ll want to try this one!

Last, I’m sharing a few of the things I’m most looking forward to in Spain and London, like performances, high tea, and the food market I’ve loved since college.

Up first… (almost) everything I’m packing for Spain and London!
