Hi Sarah! What a lovely post, I hope you write about other places you visited as well. I wanted to ask you about Everlane blazer you're wearing (it's on sale and no returns possible so I want to get the size right), do you find it to be true to size?

Hi Emma! That's so kind - thank you for reading. As its name implies, the blazer is intended to fit oversized. I went down one size to a 2 as I prefer a slimmer fit. I found that it was just roomy enough for heavier layers (like a cashmere sweater) without being *too* boxy. I would guess my typical size (4) would be the right amount of oversized and a size up (6) would be that relaxed 'true' actually oversized. All that to say - I think for its name and intended style it is TTS. I hope that helps in getting you to your preferred fit!

Ahhh! Love this. So cute and helpful. Congrats on a great trip. We go to Amsterdam and Paris in 2 weeks for our first trip abroad ever and I can’t wait. Any bag recs for a convertible backpack-purse type?

Loved this post!!! Also, the Le Set Margo tee is worth every penny. They have sales every now and then, so I usually wait to snag one until then.

I’ve been looking to add a pair of Mary Janes to my wardrobe for spring. Haven’t loved anything I’ve seen in person but have been looking at Poppy Barley and Bobbies online. Do you have any experience with Bobbies or thoughts on how they stack up to your Poppy Barleys?

Thank you! I was *shocked* at how comfortable they were. The rest of my body felt the steps, but not my feet!
