Belt Bag

I’ve been traveling with a fanny pack for as long as I can remember. They let me keep all the important documents ready, but keep my hands free to carry my luggage and personal belongings. The belt bag goes into my other bags when I get on board and acts as a clutch throughout my trip. i used this small LV waist bag many years until I discovered this is the Lo & Sons alternative. It is more versatile as it has a zipper, adjustable strap and is available in 20 colours.

This small convertible waist bag It can also be used as a crossbody or shoulder bag when needed. Comes in 2 sizes; I’m carrying the big one.

I have both light gray and ivory colors in Saffiano leather, which has a pebbled texture.

Hat

Rain or sun, hot or cold, I always take a hat. I often bring a few and can only wear one to travel, so here it is how do i put a hat in a hand luggage suitcase.

My hats came out of the bag brand new without wrinkles.

Tote Bag

Different holidays require different bags, but mine need to be flat packed because I don’t use them as my luggage.

i am a big fan These Longchamp Bags comes in multiple sizes in a rainbow of colors and folds into a small pouch.

I brought this for my last trip to Mexico. light straw bag carrying everything I need. I flattened it, then doubled it between Hola and Beaches. The beach motif fits my position and is large enough to hold a beach towel. I’m seduced With this and this with pearlsbut they have increased the weight and I like to travel light.

Comfortable shoes

Painful shoes can ruin any day, but I wouldn’t take my chances on vacation. I pack shoes that I know are comfortable because I’ve worn them before and I know they don’t compress or cause blisters.

I discoveredhese Isle Jacobson, perforated sneakers last summer and now she wants them in every color she makes. It’s super soft suede that stretches and molds to your feet, then flattens to fit in your bag. It has no internal seams to press on sore spots and feel great.

I bought the gray for this Mexico trip because they will hide the dirt from our dusty walks. I broke my metallic sneakers I’ve traveled to Canada several times in the last year, so I can count on them to be just as comfortable as bedroom slippers. They made the new model with elastic laces, it would be nice to have it… I’ll have to find a few of those laces 🙂

suntan cream

Year-round, I wear sunscreen in the rain or sun, but I bring extra when I travel to make sure I have my favorite brands.

I found a new favorite that I would order by the gallon if I could this year. It takes a long time for a new sunscreen to impress me, and this is MDSolarSciences hit me. This physical block was established by a dermatological oncologist using natural, 100% safe ingredients that are reef safe and cruelty free. It goes on silky smooth and does not leave a white pasty surface. Rod Perfect for reapplying to the back of my hands that I wash throughout the day.

hand sanitizer

Long before COVID worried us more with germs than usual, I traveled with both hand sanitizer wipes and gel or spray hand sanitizer. When I get to my seat on the plane, I wipe the armrests, the inside and outside of the tray, the seat belt buckles. Wipes are perfect for this. The spray is used frequently during my trip.

Scarf

Some holidays feel more scarf-friendly than others, but I always grab a few cotton bandanas. They’re great for quickly covering my neck and chest when overexposed and adding color to a normally neutral outfit. They’re also handy for days when my hair is ruined by a hat.

Light Jacket

Layers are always important when traveling. I often wear a cashmere wrap, but for my trip to Mexico this week, I prepared a lightweight nylon windbreaker that comes in handy for early morning walks and when the temperature drops in the evening. This little jacket folds into a small pouch and fills a corner of any bag.
