Travel Luggage
Because you want function, style, AND longevity in your travel luggage!
My HANDS DOWN FAVORITE luggage brand! I decided to treat myself during the pandemic because I knew I was going to travel once the world re-opened again. I bought the Monos Carry-On luggage and Metro Backpack (also linked) and I have never been compli...
Carry-On
I use this backpack often for heading to a cafe to work from or when I am traveling to see family or for fun! I got this Metro Backpack in Saddle Tan and it goes with EVERYTHING. It's a fantastic neutral and the vegan leather looks so clean and sharp...
Metro Backpack
This tote is such an clean-cut bag with room for your laptop, a slim water bottle, notepads, headphones, and more. I LOVE the Cactus green color because it's elegant but playful. I highly recommend, if you don't prefer backpacks, to look into this to...
Metro Tote
THIS DUFFEL! I use it every time I travel and need a bit more room than a backpack but still want a bag that can fit under any seat or overcarriage. I have the Oatmeal color and it goes with everything! I was worried that it would get dirty quickly, ...
Luka Duffel in Oatmeal
I bought the Medium when I meant to get the Small, but either way works for me! It keeps things separated but fits travel size and full size products. It fits well into the Calpak duffel; however, if you want it to fit better while you pack more, get...
Medium Clear Cosmetics Case in Caramel
Travel Skincare
My combination skin doesn't know what it wants so these are now my go-to skincare to keep my skin healthy, hydrated, and happy wherever I travel!
Hydration can make or break your skin when you're flying or just traveling by car or train for long periods of time. By giving your skin a barrier to the pollution and dry air, you're protecting your skin from a host of other issues like excess oil, ...
The Jet Lag™ Essentials Hydration Set for Travel - Summer Fridays | Sephora
This is THE BEST sunscreen I've traveled with by far! I actually forgot my makeup on a trip to Barcelona and my friend had this for me to try. When I say I got complimented on how smooth my skin looked and I felt protected from the sun all day. As so...
Cicapair™ Soothing Color Correcting Treatment SPF 30 with Centella Asiatica Extracts - Dr. Jar
One of the best face sheet masks I've tried that are easy to travel with AND actually make my skin hydrated, brighter, and smoother.
Rice I Am Sheet Mask - TONYMOLY | Ulta Beauty
Travel Outfits
Comfy is my default and that doesn't change when I travel!
These are some of the best joggers I've bought and have since bought two others in different colors. The black ones are my chosen flight or travel pants because they're comfortable, stretchy, and complementary without being stuffy. The material has l...
Leggings Depot Women's Jogger Sweatpants
This shirt is great if you, like me, don't really like logos on everything you wear. It's a great clean look and super comfortable with great neutral and colorful options.
ATHMILE Womens Oversized Loose Fit Tee
This is one of my favorite hoodies! I have the burgundy (Madder Root) one but they have black, baby blue, heather grey, etc. The drop shoulders are perfect because I have extra long arms and I can rarely find a hoodie that actually fits my arms and i...
SoComfy Oversized Pullover Hoodie Sweatshirt | Old Navy
This is just like the hoodie but is a full-zip hoodie for easier accessibility to take on or off, if needed. I got this one in heather grey and use it about town and when I travel if I'm not taking the pullover.
SoComfy Full-Zip Hoodie Sweatshirt | Old Navy
I took this raincoat to Greece and it absolutely came in handy! It looked chic enough to wear over an evening dinner outfit as it did during a rain storm during a history tour of the Pantheon. The arm length is lightly shorter than I need since my ar...
Bloggerlove Women's Lightweight Waterproof Rain Jacket
Travel Gadgets
These travel gadgets have never let me down and do exactly what they say they're going to do.
This is a great gadget when traveling abroad and you need an adapter that can change to any country's standard outlet. I won't leave the country without it!
JOOMFEEN Universal Travel Adapter w/ USB
Though some of my luggage has padding for my laptop, I ALWAYS use this for extra protection. It's a beautifully slim laptop holder that goes with everything by look and function.
Comfyable Slim Laptop Sleeve 13-14 Inch Dark Beige
This one is great if you're bringing a lot of jewelry or smaller items that don't quite fit or you don't want getting lost in other bags. I've used it a few times and it works well to keep everything separate (rings, earring, necklace, etc.). I will ...
CONBOLA 5-Layer Rotating Jewelry Box White
I use these almost daily but they are amazing when I travel! I can use one or both and, even when I'm going hard at the gym, they stay in my ear and the volume is clear and consistent. I choose these to travel because they're not hooked around my hea...
Losei Wireless Earbuds 4 Mics Noise Cancel
Travel Food
I like to snack when I travel and I can't always have what's offered, so I have to find what works and what's tasty, too!
I like to bring my own snacks when I travel to save money and make sure I eat what I can (food allergies, even the smallest, can be such a pain). These ALOHA snack bars are so good and have protein and carbs to keep my energy going for a long flight ...
ALOHA Organic Vanilla Almond Protein Bars, 12-Pack
