What to wear
Longer coats are a must in the winter! This one comes in regular and plus sizes. I love the fleece lined hood and extended sleeves with thumb holes for a little more warmth.
Women's Joy Peak™ II Mid Hooded Jacket
Getting caught in the rain is no fun! Thankfully this jacket is light and packable so you can be prepared. AND it comes in plus sizes!
Women’s Arcadia™ II Jacket
A solid supportive shoe is a must (I know, I've been injured in flat shoes twice!). OnCloud is my favorite for those preferring a lighter weight shoe.
Women's Cloud 5 | On United States - On Running
Brooks offers a lot more support in a solid shoe.
Ariel GTS 24 Womens Running Shoes
I can't emphasize enough how important it is to invest in your feet. A wool/wool blend sock is essential to keep dry in different conditions.
Women's Merino Wool Blend Quarter Sock 4-Pack
What to bring
This teeny balm lasts way longer than any other lip balm I've used - it's easy to get dehydrated, so you want to keep up on water and moisture!
Mojito Lip Balm | Mojito Lip Treatment Gel | (MALIN+GOETZ)
We don't disturb our neighbors on public transit! These are great quality and affordable enough to not be devastating if lost.
Soundcore by Anker P20i True Wireless Earbuds
Another winter essential! This brand has a light refreshing smell and doesn't feel sticky! I like to reapply after handwashing or longer time spend outside.
Caudalie Vinotherapist Hand & Nail Cream 75 mL
A backup charger that doesn't require an outlet is ESSENTIAL
Anker 621 Magnetic Battery (MagGo)
Stay hydrated with a vessel that won't leak - you can toss the s'well in your bag with no worries.
Original Bottle | 17oz
Things get sweaty, especially in the summer. Keep yourself fresh!
Cool Cucumber | Deodorant Wipes (45 count)
The coola sunscreen mists are so light in both texture and fragrance. Keep your skin protected!
Organic Sunscreen Spray for the Face & Body
How to pack
Leave the designer bags at home. A sturdy tote while you're out and about holds all you need and helps you blend in.
Carryall Daily Tote
For smaller options, a good crossbody is easy to carry and helps keep items secure. Plus this one comes in the cutest shade of pink!
Out And About Crossbody
For weekend trips, I can pack light and fit all I need into a backpack - no one wants to be dragging a suitcase through the city if they don't have to!
