My pleasure, Vicki

Zap makes an excellent point about the white bootcuts. They are not for London, but perfect for an indoor cruise.

And exactly what Inge and Parsley said. I would bring a trench coat and a leather jacket for warmth - and I would layer one under the other walking around outside in the morning and night in London. (I have London weather permanently displayed on my iPhone because I have family there - and it looks quite foul next week :(. Wrap up!).

(Okay. I am always cold so I have to play Mummy and tell you to wrap up).

Have a BEAUTIFUL TRIP!!!

Vicki, I'm late here, but I had to chime in and say that I'm almost overwhelmed by your fabulosity! You are a perfect model with the most amazing assortment of clothes, like a real life Barbie doll! You seem to be narrowing down and making sense of everything with the help of the others. I think it's really wise to wear your boots on the plane. Those transatlantic flights (especially the overnight ones) can get so chilly, and you can always remove them if you're too warm. I hope you have a wonderful time!

I'm late, too, but now I totally need to go back an pin every. single. outfit of yours for future inspiration and copycatting. My oh my, you will be the most stylish guest in London and France for ages. Have a wonderful trip!

Vicki, I am ... I don't even ... *plonk*

I saw this yesterday but had to run and couldn't reply with any semblance of the worth such a delightful photo album deserves. This morning I was giddy to see it all again. It's like you gave all of us a gift, playing dress-up with a beautiful girl and her closet of wonders.

Anyhoo, let's just say I am floored by your style. Again.

I think you've gotten a lot of good advice. I know cruises can be a bear to pack for, you want to bring everything because you will be doing everything, from the most uber-dressy to the most sporty of activities.

Like Suz, I am a listmaker, I bring along a spreadsheet printout, and I adore knowing what I'm going to wear for each day/activity. Let's call me "compulsive lite." I do it because it's fun for me. You may be more like Angie and want to shop your suitcase (SYS). This also sounds like a fun strategy, but not as light on the baggage. So it is truly up to you, and you will have a ball either way!

I hope you have a wonderful trip, because you are a lovely person and you deserve it.

Hi Vicki --

Sounds like you have a fantastic trip planned (along with no shortage of outfits to match); hope it's a great one!

Since I'm coming into this late it seems a lot has been said and sorted out. [My main reservations were white pants in the city if you were going to be doing a lot of walking and needing them to be re-used.]

Hearing the weather report I'd echo throwing in a hat/pair gloves along with the planned scarves and advise making sure you have enough wet-weather footwear to work with your outfits -- though you may be happy with the boots for more than what you've shown.

Are some of the tops you show silk? It's such a great fabric for warmth (or coolness) and if you don't have any long-john style silk knit tanks/tops from someplace outdoors-oriented like REI maybe you would work them in as underlayers.

Enjoy the travel/time with friends!

Agreeing with Angie and others here. You need the trench, that should not stay behind under any circumstances LOL! Europe weather in general requires some sort of outerwear for 3/4 of the year, especially for walking cities like Paris and London. Don't go by the " high" temperature, go by how "low" it can get. You will be exposed to the elements for a good portion of the day. It takes a toll and is definitely not the same thing as getting in and out of your car to go places and ditto on Vix's footwear and silk comment.
