Well, would you look at that!  Another embroidered midi dress in Greece!  Guys, I couldn’t help myself!  If you saw one of my favorite posts of all time from last week – you’ll definitely know what I’m talking about!

I packed a few of these flowy embroidered dresses and rewore them a few times throughout the trip!  I styled this gorgeous one a little more on the casual side for exploring Naxos during the daytime – paired here with these gold lace-up sandals and my backpack.  I dressed it up for dinner later on the trip with these sandals and my matching crossbody!

I’ve had so many of you ask for my essential packing pieces for a summer European vacation, and at the top of my list is a backpack.  I brought this one along to Italy with me as well and used it almost every single day, so I made sure to leave room in my suitcase when packing for Greece!  Yes, I know it can be a bit worrisome with all the theft warnings everyone gives you, but in large crowds, I just carry it on one shoulder like a regular purse and tuck it under my arm!  Crossbody bags are always great for hands-free, but I like a little more room for when we’re out of the hotel exploring for the day.  This one (and also seen HERE without the fringe) has enough for my camera, sunscreen, and a HUGE bottle of water (#necessary if you’ve ever been to Europe where there is more wine than water for sale somtimes).  It also has a few hidden compartments inside where you can stash anything really important (like cash and your room key).  I’ve been getting a lot of emails on this subject, so ask and you shall receive.  I will make sure to dedicate an entire post on what I think are the top essentials to pack!  More on this SOON!

Make sure to follow along with me on Snapchat and Instagram today as Raj and I head to the US Open with American Express!  Then, we’re off to the Hamptons for 5 days to close out the summer and then I head to NYC for Fashion Week for the full week right when we get back.  #GLAMtraveldiary is starting to look like #GLAMeverydaylife!
