I own the Blondo boots and will wear them in Quebec City soon! I love that they’re waterproof!
TFG always comes through with great recommendations….I can’t imagine going wrong with any of these choices.
I love the striped shirt. Looks perfect for fall.
I just started following travelfashiongirl recently and it has been so helpful in prepping for my trip to Italy!
I always appreciate the Top 5 of the Month round-ups. Makes a great reference list! I’ve got my eyes on a pair of white sneakers so will have to try on the Taos.
I love the Blondo boots! I have three pair and reach for them constantly in the fall/winter. They’re perfect for travel – very comfortable for lots of walking and I don’t have to worry about the weather. Can’t recommend them enough.
Love the look of these boots but tricky to access in Australia.
So many great tips/ideas! I could spend an entire day reading this site. Thank you!
wow! you always do such great research. It’s a pleasure to come to your website! I have been using your international travel capsules for at least 7 years, and your attention to season is just perfect for me.
Thank you so much!

I have the Lo & Sons Catalina Day Tote Bag and can vouch for it! It is my go-to carry-on/personal item because it fits anything I need for my flight, plus a change of clothes/shoes. The bottom compartment is perfect for that change of shoes upon deplaning from cold to hot weather or vice versa.
Love all your great travel tips, especially great shoes to take along. Some of the stiff is kind of expensive but I’m saving up for a great suitcase!
Taos sneakers have become my go-to travel shoes. Very comfortable and lots of support. Their sandals have also become a staple for my summer.
I love Blondo boots. I’ve been wearing them for years. So comfortable
Travel Fashion Girl has truly changed my life. I have learned to stop overpacking yet am prepared for multiple locations with varied climates so that I am comfortable & stylish. It has changed how I shop & even how I dress at home. I always have travel in mind when I shop & have found most of the items work extremely well in my everyday life!!! Always love updates because styles are definitely changing.
Recommendations are so helpful. Have been looking at Lo & Sons satchel and will try it!!
Thanks for the Samsonite carrry-on recommendation. I’m looking for an update to my carry-on bag and this looks like a good choice at a fair price
I LOVE the Joggers!! Just checked the link and they are so cheap!! Def getting a pair today for my trip to AZ!!
I’ve learned so much from this page your posts. Love the Blondo ankle boots.
All great options! I’ve learned about so many travel tips and purchased many of your suggested items that have truly enhanced my travel strategies!! Thank you for all of your amazing suggestions through the years!
I am finding so many great recommendations for travel wardrobe that fits in carryon. All of these tips are going to come in handy for my European River cruise next June. Especially the linen joggers Can’t wait.
Great ideas
Love a good striped shirt!
I like the Blondo boots, but I think I’m going to try the Vessi waterproof shoes too. I’ve been using all the tips I learn here to practice pack for a two week trip to Ireland.
The sneaker recommendation (Taos or Ecco) were perfect for our trip to Ireland, Italy, and Serbia this past July. They looked great with maxi dresses, short athletic one, and with shorts or jeans. Comfy and my feet didn’t get too sweaty! TFG recommendations continue to be spot-on and I’ve been following for several years now. ❤️
As always…..Great recommendations
I will check out the shoes, always struggle with shoes when I travel. Also want to look into the backpack for my commute to work as well as travel – thank you!
Love the recos. I will check them out. Thanks!
Those linen joggers are so perfect for travel!
I got a pair earlier this year, and I’m going to snag another color or tow now that they are on after summer sales!
So comfortable and versatile.
I love my Blondo boots!
I love, love LOVE the Blondo boots! Definitely a must-have for the season.
The Cole Haan piece is fantastic. I also have 2 Cole Haan raincoats that fold up into a small pouch. I got them at Costco years ago and they have held up great. I wear them here and abroad.
Me too but where can I buy in Australia?postage horrific
Love the Caslon joggers, do the travel well?
great info
Love the info, thanks
Great options! I always find something new that I need from these posts!
Love the Blondo boots. After reading about them I am going to have to try them! TFG is sooo insanely helpful for every day life not just travel!!
Happy to see the trench coat recommendation. It’s a piece that never goes out of style, decade after decade, and is not only a solid travel piece but works so well in everyday life as well. Thanks for reminding me that I need to replace my old trench (that is still in great condition) because I’ve lost a lot of weight.
Absolutely LOVE my Blondo boots. I was surprised at how well they held up in city walking and even a short muddy hike. My toes have never felt so good. I chose the suede ankle boots and have never regretted that choice.
I love the trench coat idea and it looks super cute as well as stylish. Thanks for the great idea on how to up my travel wardrobe!
Always looking for cute tennis she’s with arch support! I’ll try these!
Love the Blondo boots. Great in rain and snow. Stay dry even in puddles. Super comfy all day.
Love these top 5 kind of posts!
I love a lot of these things but the colours are so boring. I guess the these neutral colours appeal to more consumers. I like neutral coloured pants but I prefer all other items of clothing to have colour!

Love the linen joggers and the Taos sneakers. Both are going with me on my river cruise next week!
I tried to buy some Blondo boots recently but the fit just wasn’t right. Such a bummer – love their styles and the waterproof seal!
Thank you for the continuing source of ideas.
Love my Taos sneakers! I wore them all over Europe this summer!
Wondering how best to take a trench… wear it on the plane? Pack it rolled up? Looks bulky.
I wore my trench onto the plane-figured I might use it as a cover as it was an overnight flight. I somehow managed to fit it in my bag on the return.
I think I need an update and the trench would work for so many types of weather and styles.
I saw trench coats everywhere this doing in France and Italy! Thanks, as always, for sharing gear and clothing recommendations. I have been helped by all of your trips and videos and share your site with everyone I know!
I love the linen pieces but summer is winding down where I live and the striped shirt is sold out so I have my eye on the belted coat.
Loved the Blondo boots, but although I ordered wide, they were too narrow. I usually order medium, so was disappointed. Love the look of the clothes suggested.
I bought the sleeveless jumpsuit after reading about it here and it is amazing! I am 5’3″ and 210lbs the XL fit perfectly. It’s soft and comfy and great for everyday wear and travel. I highly recommend it!!
I have the carry on Samsonite in my cart. And I already ordered the Prettygarden outfit. Thank you for ll of your suggestions
I keep hearing about the Blondo boots from TFGs. I’m going to have to give them a try!
Dear Travel Fashion Girls.
My Blondo waterproof boots have been ordered and are on their way. Also on the way is the Rebecca Minkoff backpack for the sale price you updated us with. Thank you!
I have been looking for a trench. Will check the Coach trench out.
Love the look of the Taos shoes. Hoping they have great support and can stay clean!
I keep eyeing that Prettygarden set but I haven’t pulled the trigger on it just yet!
Dear Travel Fashion Girls….my blondo waterproof boots have been ordered and are on their way !

Question : what leather or faux leather jackets are you recommending for Europe this Fall?
I am a big fan of yours!
