My London Packing List

My London Packing List

So excited about this trip!

Ryan and I are heading to London for his belated 40th birthday celebration, and I am just so excited. I haven’t been since 7th grade and it will be Ryan’s very first visit. We worked with Emily West to put everything together, and she created the most thoughtful itinerary. One of Ryan’s biggest wishes was to see Oxford, where C.S. Lewis once taught and wrote. Emily is making it all come true for this trip, and I couldn’t be happier about what’s planned.

Another perk? She mapped out each day for us, which means I actually *know* ahead of time what to pack and wear. Praise the Lord, because itineraries are not my strong suit! It was super helpful when pulling together my London packing list when I knew exactly where our days would take us.

If you’re curious what’s in my carry-on, I shared a whole post about it here.

Now let’s talk about the outfits! Since Florida has been far from fall weather lately, I’m so excited to pull out a trench coat in London! I had so much fun putting together a Pinterest board for outfit inspiration, which made it easy to see what I needed and what I already had. These loafers just came in and they’re perfection, truly obsessed.

Below I pulled together a few looks I’ll be wearing while we’re away, and everything is linked here. Hopefully this gives you a little fall inspiration too!

Sightseeing outfit

Trench (size 4)
So excited about this one — it feels like the perfect London piece.

Scarf (old, similar here)
Might end up in my hair, we’ll see!

Sweater-Shirt Top (size small)
A sweater and shirt combo all in one… and I love it.

Belt
Totally giving 90’s rom-com vibes.

Penny Loafers
Truly the most comfortable pair.

Bag
This one has seen some things, but it’s still the very best. And here’s a lookalike for under $200.

Dinner/Night-Out Outfit

Trench (size 4)
Classic and timeless, a staple I know I’ll wear on repeat.

Sweater Top
This little cashmere tee comes in so many colors and is the definition of effortless chic.

Mini Skirt
This has been on my wish list since I first spotted it, and it’s even better in person.

Silk Scarf (old, similar here)
Mainly thinking for my hair… because this outfit needs a little pop of color.

Earrings
These are affordable and chic, the kind of piece I reach for all the time.

Bag (sold out, similar here)
A forever favorite, I pull this one out for every occasion. Mine is sold out but this one is super similar!

Tights
The thing about me is that I will take any excuse to wear tights.

Riding Boots
Actual perfection. Comfortable, classic, and the finishing touch.

Travel Day Outfit

Hat

This camel wool hat is honestly so chic, I get the hype.

See them in action here, fun right?

T-shirt

This performance t-shirt is fabulous. Not see through and so soft. Love the cut.

Sweater

SUCH a good H&M find! The matching pants are perfection too.

Wide-leg Pants

These are so comfortable and the perfect airplane pant in my opinion.

Trench (size 4)

Classic and timeless, a staple I know I’ll wear on repeat.

I wore these in France (more on that here) this past spring and they were awesome.

A tried-and-true staple of mine. And here’s a super similar one for under $200.
