items ✨ MY #1 PACKING RULE: I always follow the 5-4-3-2-1 method: 5 sets of socks/undies, 4 tops, 3 bottoms, 2 pairs of shoes, and 1 dress.
Quick Hack: Wear your heaviest New Balances and your thickest hoodie on the plane to save room. Also, roll your clo...

I used to be a hater because of the price, but the built-in weight limit indicator actually saved me $60 in fees at the airport. It glides over cobblestones like a dream.
BÉIS 'The Carry-On Roller' in Black - 21" Carry On Rolling Luggage & Suitcase
This is the ultimate 'personal item.' It opens flat like a suitcase so you aren't digging for your laptop at security. Fits perfectly under the seat.
Calpak Terra Laptop Backpack
If you aren't using these, you’re literally missing out on 30% more space. I crammed 4 dresses into one small cube and they didn't even come out that wrinkled.
Packing Cubes
The Wardrobe (10 Days, 1 Bag)
The dress that does everything. I wore this to a vineyard in Tuscany and then with sneakers for a museum day. 10/10 versatility.
Princess Polly Dyer Sheer Sleeve Mini Dress
Is it a shirt? A beach cover-up? A light jacket? Yes. It's the only thing I pack that I actually end up wearing every single day.
Breezy Shirt White
The only 'real' pants you need. They look so polished for dinner but feel like you’re wearing sweatpants on the plane. Major win.
Women's A&F Sloane Tailored Wide Leg Pant
Don't be the girl in sandals crying about her feet in Rome. These are the Euro-summer uniform for a reason—comfy and they look cute with literally everything.
New Balance 530s
Tech & Safety
Literally the size of a lipstick. No cords, no drama. I just plug it in while I'm taking photos and keep moving.
iWALK Small USB-C Portable Charger, 4500mAh ...
I’m a paranoid traveler, so these are a must. Being able to see that my bag is actually on the plane with me is the only way I can relax.
AirTag and Accessories
I've had the same one for three years. It has enough USB ports that my friends and I can all charge our phones at the same time in the hostel.
Epicka Universal Adapter
Beauty & Self-Care
The air on long-haul flights is literally so dehydrating for your skin and lips. I slather this on before takeoff and it’s the only thing that actually keeps my lips soft until we land. Plus, the vanilla beige shade is the perfect 'no-makeup' look fo...
Lip Butter Balm, Vanilla
Let’s be real, European public transit can be pretty gross so a good sanitizer is a non-negotiable. This one smells like actual perfume and doesn't leave that sticky residue like the cheap pharmacy versions. The flat bottle design is also a win becau...
Touchland Power Mist Hand Sanitizer
Since this is a solid stick, it doesn't have to go in your tiny TSA liquids bag which is a total space-saver. It gives you the prettiest dewy glow without being greasy, making it perfect for re-applying over makeup while you're out exploring all day....
Supergoop! Glow Stick SPF 50
I finally stopped using those cheap plastic travel bottles that always seem to leak in my suitcase. These capsules are magnetic so they stay organized in your bag, and they are the perfect size for 10 days of serum or moisturizer. They make your vani...
Cadence Magnetic Capsules
Switching to solid bars was the easiest way to free up space in my liquids bag for more skincare. These lather up exactly like regular shampoo and you don't have to worry about them exploding in your luggage during the flight. They're eco-friendly an...
