Europe trip basics.

Lacey Leggings Style 500008 $69.95 & Candy Love SS Tee Style 506080 $49.95

So, although I have been trying to avoid the shops in order to save for my trip, I really needed some key pieces that are aeroplane/trip friendly. There were two main criteria I was looking for in my purchases. They needed to be (a) comfortable and (b) stylish (I don't want to look like I just rolled out of bed). My friend and I are traveling all over Europe in the space of 8 weeks which involves a lot of flying!

Today, I visited the French Connection store and the sales assistant was so nice and helpful. She helped me visualise how I could put these two pieces to their maximum use. Immediately, as I walked into the store I noticed these really cool leggings. They are super comfortable and warm, but the print is what really caught my attention! I could easily venture around the london streets in these babies paired with a cute oversized top and black ankle boots or wear them on a night out on the town with a sheer black or white top, blazer, black heels and a statement necklace. 

I paired the pants with a white basic tee. Although a long sleeve top would be better for the plane ride (I hear it gets cold in there!), I decided to buy a white tee that I can keep in my carry on. This piece is easy to layer and will most probably be overused during the trip since it will be mega hot outside! I can easily pair it with some cute black leather or denim shorts, denim jeans, or better yet, throw it over my bikini! Not to mention it will go amazing with a European tan :) The front of the tee is quite simple but the white on white contrasting on the back is what sold it for me.
