It is no secret I LOVE to travel! This summer alone I have been lucky enough to travel here, there, and everywhere with no attempts at slowing down once fall rolls around. Gotta make up for a year of being stuck at home!
“Catch flights not feelings.”
With all of the traveling I do, I have created a list of my own personal must-have travel essentials for any trip…essentially a travel go kit! Check it out below…hopefully, it can inspire your next packing list!

Must-Have Travel Essentials:
Travel Tote or Backpack
I don’t leave home without my Kate Spade tote or my Kenneth Cole backpack when I’m traveling. I love how versatile each of these options can be. Depending on the trip, I’ll either take one or the other, or both! The Kate Spade bag is perfect to use as a purse, tote, laptop bag, diaper bag, you name it! The best part, it’s reversible and super easy to clean! The Kenneth Cole backpack has so many compartments for your laptop, iPad, and phone, with enough space for travel snacks, water, headphones, and any other essentials you may need! I love that this piece is part of a matching luggage set as well!
A Chic Cosmetic bag
This Sonia Kashuk cosmetic bag from Target has drastically changed my travel game. Gone are the days of putting my makeup and serums into gallon-sized Ziplock bags! There are multiple sizes and patterns available within this line for all your travel essentials. I chose the smaller size as it easily fits in my travel tote or backpack! This cosmetic bag is super chic and very affordable…perfect for the gal on the go!
My Favorite Skin Care Products
After a long day of traveling, nothing feels better than taking off your makeup and performing your daily skincare routine. BareMinerals products have always been a favorite of mine as they are lightweight on my skin but super hydrating. It’s also very convenient that my favorite products come in travel sizes…super easy to store in my cosmetic bag and TSA approved!
An Easy Travel Look
One of the best ways to look put together while achieving maximum comfort is to rock a maxi or midi-length dress. Pair with a denim jacket, cute strappy sandals, or sneakers for a complete look. This travel outfit is perfect for circumstances where you don’t have time to change once your reach your final destination.
