I was so excited for you to be back in Italy. I think you radiate happiness when there. Apollo is a seasoned traveller to now. I adore the fact that you take him with you. Fantastic capsule, Alyssa. You rock this every time. Enjoy. I'm looking forward to your videos from Milan 💚🤍❤
Alyssa!! You just gave a wonderful new idea for a video: Could you PLEASE create a video, or several, a series, with a capsule for each major Italian city? Like you said Rome is more colorful, Milan not so much, haha. That would be great! Firenze, Milano, Roma, Venezia, Napoli, Sienna, Verona, Torino, Bologna, Padua, etc. Grazie mille, carissima mia! :)
I love your channel. You are very smart and talented. You are one of my favorite TH-cam stylists. I wait for you to release new videos. I am leaning less towards a capsule wardrobe these days as it can be limiting and remove some fun out of wearing clothes. But I can understand your purpose when you are traveling and needing to pack less for a trip. But overall I do not want to limit myself to two pairs of jeans for three months. But that’s cool you can do it and not feel restricted.
Amazing how many looks you can make! Thanks for sharing your tips-just varying the silhouette is a game changer. I have less jewelry and more scarves, but I could do this. Can’t wait to see your 4x4x4 spring and summer because I know you will be there 😉
Great Video! I love how thoughtful you are about your wardrobe when it comes to color, fit and texture. It's really educational and makes me think more about how I can have less in my closet and get more use out of it. Thank you!
Such a huge fan of when you do videos like this. Love this capsule wardrobe for Milan - also very applicable for my regular life. Thank you so much for the inspiration and great content.
Wow! You are so creative when it comes to a capsule wardrobe. Enjoy Milan and your travels throughout Italy and beyond. It is so nice that you have your pal Apollo.
The two black belts make me think of 'The Devil Wears Prada'. 😂 Great lookbook. Also loved the cameo of your mon. And cat. I hoped to go to Milan for work in February, but unfortunately it doesn't work out time wise. Enjoy your stay!
That was cute, seeing your mom!! I have many of the same style/colors/silhouettes you played with here, and immediately saw some outfits I can recreate….thanks gurl!!!! Happy holidayz in Milan!!!
❤love everything about this. Thank you for being real and not showing lots of things just to increase numbers of outfits. I appreciate the keeping it real. Inspiring.
Appreciate the lookbook! I remember the previous packing video that you mentioned, and I think I among some other subscribers left a comment there that a lookbook would be very helpful to see how the capsule works. Thanks for making that happen!! 🙏🏻 I am looking forward to shop your closet videos with just this capsule 😊 But also I anticipate some shopping and "X ways to style one ... (Name a new item)" 🥳
Fabulous video! My favourite was Look 12, but then I realized I loved every look with the croc boots and camel Brave belt! I think you’d miss your tall black boots if you send them back. Enjoy your time!😍
I love watching the outfits you create. It helps me to review my wardrobe in a new light. Thank you for helping me to develop that critical eye! Merry Christmas and here's to a much improved new year!!
Hi Alyssa, great video. I like how well thought your travel capsules always are on one side and how simple and easy to style they are on the other. ❤️ Enjoy Europe during Christmas with your mom 🎄
Brilliant. I might try the 4 x4 system for an upcoming two week trip to Colorado. I could probably get by on much less. But we’re driving so I lack the incentive to go too light!😀
This is my favorite type of fashion video! Put together some outfits with clothes you already own and tell us why you chose the pieces. No purchases needed. Molto tres bueno! ♥♥♥
So many questions - Are you considering moving to Italy? Why did you choose Milan? Are you considering getting citizenship? How well do you speak Italian? What did you do with your apartment in Canada, did you sublet? Did you get a longer-term travel visa? What about health insurance? I ask for partly selfish reasons, as a person whose grandparents are from Italy and who is considering spending more time there. LOVE your videos and cannot wait to see the beautiful street fashions and thrift stores of Milan! Thank you!
Thanks for the inspiration. I'm going to northern Spain for a week for Christmas, so your ideas were right up my alley. And if you're looking for stylish running shoes, check On Running and their Cloud models. They are also very comfortable and generally great for just walking around.
I love dressing in neutrals and I have very little space to store clothing so this could literally be a great base of solid ideas for my wardrobe. Watching this helps me see why my wardrobe is not working for me most days…😂 Enjoy your time away ❤
You have the best travel capsule videos on YT. They do an outstanding job of demonstrating how to pack using our style & closet pieces. I have learned so much. Please keep this content coming. Travel safe with adorable Apollo! 💕🐱
When you said you plan to stay for 3-4 months, my very first thought was "what about the CAT?!" The next thing I know, you had the cat as your personal item. Respect that! Also, did I understand correctly that you are staying even longer, just with a probable short trip to Canada and back? That's such an adventure! ❤ I did have a chance to relocate to Milan a couple years ago, but ultimately I decided not to. I am now starting to have second thoughts...😂
How do you keep your POMP Tailor wrinkle-free when traveling? I purchased two of their shirts via your discount code - they are such great quality. Great brand, so glad to have discovered them!
I'm curious why you chose not to check another larger suitcase & just take everything you'd need for such a long trip? I know you said you like to travel lighter but if you're staying somewhere for 4 months would the inconvenience of taking the extra case not outweigh all the mental juggling & extra planning across the months where you have to take into account seasonal changes etc.? I'm not asking that in a snide way, I'm genuinely curious. I love your content x
I don't really travel all that much but every time I watch a travel capsule video, I start thinking about what I would take with me if I were to go away. Hopefully I might be able to put some of that into practice one day! :D Your tiny capsule is amazing, though I'm surprised you didn't got for the 5-4-3-2-1 method and squeeze in a couple more items somehow. Though I'm speaking as a chronic over-packer who is trying to cut down on doing that even for short trips to see friends and family.)
thank you, I would live to see how you board!!! Have fun, I am surprised you are bringing so many sweaters due to milan being so great for markets and sweaters in particular!!!! Also surprised you are not bringing one pair of darker jeans. Or even wool long underwear (I love icebreaker bc they can double as leggings, dry quickly, and are sustainable minded).Do you have a wish list of things you might buy? I personally ( used to live in italy for short blips..) love picking up handmade items like silver home adornments, wooden crafts and knitwear. Sometimes actual fabric shops are great too, but typically a bit out city centers. Do you do any haptic making aka knitting, sewing, embroidery etc? Do you have slow methods while you process traveling/being abroad?Wondering about your stragedies while there, I find shopping or picking while abroad a thing due transforming and picking up new ideas. For example, I used to find myself buying white tees on occasion bc maybe for the appearance of newness but then realizing I dont really where them at home? Shopping while traveling can be both amazing and confusing. Wondering how you handle this experience. You address this idea occasionally. Well wishing!
I read just yesterday about Vivienne Files capsule of fours, it is not 4*4*4 in a sense that you mentioned, its rather an approach to choosing colors for a capsule (meant for at least one whole season, so 16 pieces for 3-4 months, turns out pretty doable but I think she doesn't count shoes). It's funny how we now have rules for more and more digits 😂 2*2 for mixing two styles (style words) 3*3*3 Fours 5-4-3-2-1 ... What's next? 😂
So many outfit tips here for travel! It just flowed seeing everything you picked and the reasons why. I loved it. I especially liked your metallic boots and that colorful scarf your friend suggested. Why not give the skinny belt to your mother to take home? More room? Your figure is slim and trim, lucky you. Hug to Paleo.
Hi Alyssa - Did you use your Indyx inventory to create your capsule? You had mentioned in the video on that resource that travel capsules were one way you were planning to use it so curious if you did so here. Have a lovely time in Milan!
Your jeans are both light wash, you could have introduced a bit more variety with a darker wash pair, which is also more suited to winter weather, and maybe a navy top. Your capsule wardrobe looks a bit samey colourwise, I would get bored wearing these pieces all winter long, by March it'll be spring in Italy. I would just buy something new for spring rather than return to Canada or have it sent, which probably costs more.
Love the unexpected cameo of your Mum. 🙋♀️❤
Very lucky she’s with me!
@AlyssaBeltempo Indeed! Enjoy a wonderful Milan Christmas! (I'll enjoy an Alberta one 😁!)
Would love to learn why you're in Italy again for so many months! Have you already shared that?
I was so excited for you to be back in Italy. I think you radiate happiness when there. Apollo is a seasoned traveller to now. I adore the fact that you take him with you. Fantastic capsule, Alyssa. You rock this every time. Enjoy. I'm looking forward to your videos from Milan 💚🤍❤
Love that you travel with Apollo 🐱 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
So many exquisite outfits with a limited wardrobe, FANTASTIC! I love how festive Apollo looks in his Kitty Cravat!
Alyssa!! You just gave a wonderful new idea for a video: Could you PLEASE create a video, or several, a series, with a capsule for each major Italian city? Like you said Rome is more colorful, Milan not so much, haha. That would be great! Firenze, Milano, Roma, Venezia, Napoli, Sienna, Verona, Torino, Bologna, Padua, etc. Grazie mille, carissima mia! :)
The wide leg jeans give you that “undone” look you do so well. (And Apollo goes with ALL your outfits.) 😸 Bellissima!
Haha he is the best accessory!
I love that you brought your cat and mom with you! Enjoy!❤
Love all the shop your own closet videos! Thank you.
These are ALL fabulous to wear at home or abroad! I saved this video to refer back! Thank you!
Great! So glad you like them!
Thanks for the chat and the lookbook! That was super inspiring!
The straight leg denim with the frayed hem is perfection with the brown faux snake print boots - absolutely my favorite pairing!
Thank you! I like that combo too!
What a fabulous capsule wardrobe! You’ve inspired me for my next trip to Chicago. Wishing you and sweet Apollo a buon natale. Ciao from Texas!
Grazie e buon Natale!
You are always such an inspiration to me ❤

What a great video. This one will be rewatched every time I get ready to pack!
What a great adventure you're on! Love Milan and love you - can't wait to see your content over the next few months. Ciao bella!! ❤
Amazing how many looks you can make! Thanks for sharing your tips-just varying the silhouette is a game changer. I have less jewelry and more scarves, but I could do this. Can’t wait to see your 4x4x4 spring and summer because I know you will be there 😉
Thank you Kathy!! I hope it’s just as good! ❤
Great video as always Alyssa - I especially loved in look #8 you could see Apollo's tail moving back and forth on the wall! 😃🤩
I love your style. I always take notes during your videos, as you give me so many wonderful ideas.
Im so glad they’re helpful!
Thank you again appreciate that confirmation of Merino wool LOVit. Enjoy your time in Europe😊
Thank you!
Thank you for a year of great ideas. Auguri!🎉
I love that you travel with your cat … fabulous pet owner ❤
Great Video! I love how thoughtful you are about your wardrobe when it comes to color, fit and texture. It's really educational and makes me think more about how I can have less in my closet and get more use out of it. Thank you!

I’m so envious. Have a wonderful time.
Thank you!
Thank you!
Fabulous capsule, Alyssa. Have an amazing time in Milan!
Wow! You are so creative when it comes to a capsule wardrobe. Enjoy Milan and your travels throughout Italy and beyond. It is so nice that you have your pal Apollo.
This is great help - I’ll be winter traveling for a few weeks and am starting to think about my capsule wardrobe!
How exciting that you’ll spend such a long time in Milan and wonderful that you brought your cat with you🫶🏻
The two black belts make me think of 'The Devil Wears Prada'. 😂 Great lookbook. Also loved the cameo of your mon. And cat. I hoped to go to Milan for work in February, but unfortunately it doesn't work out time wise. Enjoy your stay!
So excited for this new adventure!
That was cute, seeing your mom!! I have many of the same style/colors/silhouettes you played with here, and immediately saw some outfits I can recreate….thanks gurl!!!! Happy holidayz in Milan!!!
Make sure you tell mom you’re keeping the tall boots in Italy 🤌
Yes, I thought the same thing! Covered and warm, but sexy
❤love everything about this. Thank you for being real and not showing lots of things just to increase numbers of outfits. I appreciate the keeping it real. Inspiring.
Appreciate the lookbook!

Brava! Solide scelte di guardaroba. Ciao dalla Puglia. 🎄
Ciao! La Puglia è una meraviglia!
Hi Alyssa, great video. I like how well thought your travel capsules always are on one side and how simple and easy to style they are on the other. ❤️ Enjoy Europe during Christmas with your mom 🎄
Apollo is the cutest! I could never comfortably wear that many layers tho!
Brilliant. I might try the 4 x4 system for an upcoming two week trip to Colorado. I could probably get by on much less. But we’re driving so I lack the incentive to go too light!😀
Super helpful as heading to Siena for a month at the end of January. Grazie mille.
I love that you just "moved" to Milan :D

I'm glad you took the pussycat with you, he's adorable with his red bandana

I love that you brought your cat! He must be super chill! Where are your packing cubes from?
He is very chill! they are Aerotrunk!
@@AlyssaBeltempo Thank you!
Yess I’m literally going to Florence next month ! Thank you

How do you keep your POMP Tailor wrinkle-free when traveling? I purchased two of their shirts via your discount code - they are such great quality. Great brand, so glad to have discovered them!
This is exactly my dream, being able to pack a cohesive capsule. But, somehow, it has been an unreachable dream.
Happy holidays! ❤
Love how you've created so many looks. How does your cat feel about travelling with you? X❤🐈⬛
I was hoping you were going to ask me to cat sit for you!! 🐈😻
Enjoy your stay,your clothing choices are fantastic.Please show lots of interesting places to visit as I'm planing to visit in November 2025.
Thank you ! Will do!❤
Thank you for the Winter inspiration! What is the name of the long wool Sezane coat? Thank you!
I'm curious why you chose not to check another larger suitcase & just take everything you'd need for such a long trip?

Love you
Can you do a video for beach travel. And Beach lifestyle!
Love these looks ❤
Appreciate the layering of the turtlenecks and tucking jeans into boots.
How was flying w Apollo??!

That's a big cat! Great vid
Great video! Curious about your tank watch. So elegant. Where is it from?
Buona permanenza in Italia 🎉
Fab. I like your jewellry case where from?
Another great video! What brand are the metallic mid calf boots please?
Love the dark tab cable mock neck . . . what brand?
I hope you will visit Vicenza. It is worth the visit. Not as touristy as Verona.

I would of loved seeing how you style your leather mini skirt
The frame and the initial of the video. Not sure if that’s new but nice touch.
I read just yesterday about Vivienne Files capsule of fours, it is not 4*4*4 in a sense that you mentioned, its rather an approach to choosing colors for a capsule (meant for at least one whole season, so 16 pieces for 3-4 months, turns out pretty doable but I think she doesn't count shoes).
It's funny how we now have rules for more and more digits 😂
2*2 for mixing two styles (style words)
3*3*3
Fours
5-4-3-2-1
...
What's next? 😂
Love this video! Helping me plan for an upcoming trip:) What is the brand of your black wide legs/ fabric type? Mine have limited time left…
So many outfit tips here for travel! It just flowed seeing everything you picked and the reasons why. I loved it. I especially liked your metallic boots and that colorful scarf your friend suggested.

I love my white tshirts and button downs too, but have an issue with yellow underarm stains. How do you handle this?
Good morning Alyssa, tell us what you're doing in Milan? Work? Extended holiday?
Do keep the tall boots with you!
Hi Alyssa - Did you use your Indyx inventory to create your capsule? You had mentioned in the video on that resource that travel capsules were one way you were planning to use it so curious if you did so here. Have a lovely time in Milan!
I have something close to all of these pieces! But I’m 5’1’ (last time I checked) and I’m not in Milan. Bummer.
Are you coming to Turin?!
Ciao Alyssa! why don't you organize a meeting with your italian followers in Milan (like me!)? that would be nice!
What did the cat have……does it have a cat tray?
😅this morning it was way less than 8°C! In the morning it was 2/3º...
