UGG Sungaze Strappy Sandals 

 

When one TFGer couldn’t stop raving about her UGG Sungraze Strappy Sandals after her recent trip to Rome, they sparked instant interest with our community. 

The subtle platform adds just the right amount of polish, making them easy to style from daytime exploring to evening dinners. With an adjustable strap for a secure fit and a cushioned foam footbed, they deliver both style and all-day comfort, often described as feeling like walking on clouds.

The Pom Pom London Original Purse, our surprise No. 1 bestseller of 2025, has everyone excited again now that it’s available at Nordstrom (complete with free shipping and easy returns.).

Made from soft, high-quality leather, this versatile crossbody puts a modern spin on a timeless design.

Shop Sizes XS-XL: Toad&Co | Nordstrom

 

Toad & Co Sunkissed Maxi Dress

 

If you haven’t explored Toad&Co’s Sunkissed line yet, their maxi dress is the perfect place to start. It’s made from one of the best travel fabrics I’ve come across; wrinkle-free, lightweight, quick-drying, and finished with UPF 50+ protection, all without compromising on style. 

The tulip-inspired front detailing, bra-friendly straps, and subtle back cutout adds just the right touch of interest. It’s the kind of easy, throw-on-and-go summer dress that works for everything.

Toad&Co has since expanded its Sunkissed line, and as someone who loves a jumpsuit, I had to try the Livvy Jumpsuit. I first bought it in another color last spring and it quickly became one of my most-packed travel pieces, worn everywhere from Southeast Asia to Playa del Carmen. 

When I spotted a new print this season, it was an easy addition to my spring haul and, as expected, I’m loving it all over again. Here’s my mini try-on video!

 

If you missed what else made it into my shopping cart this spring, catch up here!

Their streamlined slim-leg silhouette is ideal for  everyday wear yet stylish enough for more formal settings. Finished with a fuss-free and comfortable pull-on waistband, these pants are ideal for flights, all-day sightseeing, and everything in between.

Banana Republic Timeless V-Neck T-Shirt

 

The Banana Republic Timeless Tee lives up to its name as a reliable wardrobe staple. Made from a soft cotton-modal blend, it resists pilling and holds its shape through long sightseeing days and back-to-back flights. 

Easy to dress up or down, it works just as well worn on its own for a classic travel look as it does layered with your favorite pieces. An affordable option that doesn’t compromise on quality, it’s a go-to for effortless, year round style.
