Chia wants to make sure that I don’t leave her in Seattle! Once the suitcase comes out, she makes her presence known…..

I have a nifty travel crate for her. It is a rolling crate, as well as a backpack and fits under the seat on the plane. She jumps right into it as soon as I ask her to!

And while on the subject of packing, I have found a great toiletry kit. I got mine from ebags.com and it is called the Baggallini Flat Fold Organizer. Just noticed it is on sale now, and I highly recommend it.

So excited to see what is new for fall in Florence: the jewelry, the leather jackets, the boots…Will post some photos of the latest Italian fashion next week!
