Travel In Style
Sleek Suitcase
This lightweight, streamlined suitcase is the fashion girl's top choice. Its compact yet roomy design makes it the ideal carry-on with multiple pockets and compartments for easy organization. Its handle serves as a scale, and it also has built-in charger ports for your devices.
Warm Cardigan
Choose a chic, comfy topper that's easy to throw over your airport outfit. It'll keep you toasty when the AC is blasting.
Luxe Passport Holder
Keep your passport, tickets and other important documents tidy in an elevated leather passport case. Opt for one with a charming motif for a fun touch.
Versatile Handbag
A multi-functional bag is crucial for traveling. Choose one with both crossbody and handheld straps of a small size so you can easily sling it over your shoulder to keep your belongings close.
Cozy Scarf
A big scarf can double as a blanket when it gets too chilly.
Backless Shoes
Slip-on footwear is the secret to getting through airport security quick. Choose a backless sneaker version with contrasting texture for added interest.
Oversize Sunglasses
Sizable frames not only look chic on, but also cover your tired eyes due to traveling and lack of sleep.
Sleep Mask
Speaking of sleep, optimize your slumber by wearing a soft silk-satin mask to block out light and protect your skin from damage.
Facial Mist
A mini facial mist is a must for maintaining supple, dewy skin despite a dehydrating airplane cabin. Spritz it on before and throughout the flight.
Chic Headphones
In lieu of bulky headphones, try these sleek Bluetooth-enabled ear buds. Its magnetic discs allow them to clasp around the neck so you don't have to deal with tangled wires, and the gold hardware makes them that much cooler.
