Forget the jewelry and skincare.  If you take jewelry while traveling use costume jewelry, leave your fine jewelry at home.  Buy your skincare, haircare and perfume at your destination.  Check out this link for some of my best products for your travel essentials. 

1. Scarf - A scarf dresses up any outfit. Use your scarf to cover your eyes, little blanket, or pillow while traveling.

2. Sunglasses - A pair of sunglasses adds a touch of glam to any outfit. Whether you’re exploring or lounging on the beach, sunglasses are a must.

3. Comfortable Flats - Comfortable flats are essential for walking around cities, supportive footwear while walking and can be worn all day.

4. Lightweight Jacket - A lightweight jacket is perfect for layering and can add a chic touch to your outfit.

5. Crossbody Bag - A crossbody bag is both practical and stylish, keeping your hands free while exploring, your essentials secure and accessible?

6. Wrinkle-Resistant Dress - A wrinkle-resistant dress is perfect for looking stylish without worrying about ironing. Choose one that can be layered. Short sleeves or with a jacket.

7. Sneakers - Sneakers are great for days when you need to do a lot of walking. Look for designs that are both stylish and comfortable.

8. Neutral T-Shirts - Neutral t-shirts are versatile and can be paired with anything. Pack a few t-shirts in colors like white, black, and gray. 

9. Lightweight Sweaters and Shirts - A lightweight sweater/shirt is perfect for layering and can add a cozy touch to your outfit.

10. Versatile Skirt/Pants - A versatile skirt can be dressed up or down and is perfect for various occasions. Look for one that’s comfortable and wrinkle-resistant.

11. A Neck Pillow - Neck pillows are a must for the airplane.  They can also be used in your hotel.  Get an inflatable neck pillow.

12. A USB Charger   - Make certain your charger is for overseas travel.

13. A Carry-On Bag - I only fly carry-on and never check a bag. It’s small enough that I use it for a weekend getaway, and big enough for packing two weeks’ worth of clothes. 

14. Slippers/Sandals and PJ’s - If you’re coming back to your hotel room after a long day of walking and adventures, it’s so nice to take your shoes off. But I never trust how clean the floors are in hotel rooms, which is why I won’t ever go bare foot and not even in my socks. Sandals can be for the beach as well as the hotel room. Get some lightweight pj’s.

15. Loose Fitting Travel Outfit - Your travel outfit should be soft and a relaxed fit. Not buttoning waist.
