Travel Light

{ Steamline Luggage }

Many of us will be traveling soon. I have a September road trip coming up myself. True confession, I am not a light traveller, but I wish that I was. This post will help both you and I to get there with style while carrying less. 

White and Warren Travel Wrap

Chic. Cozy. Cashmere. This wrap comes in every color under the sun. It's big enough to cover you head to toe on a plane, a train, or in the car. It looks great as an evening wrap, or a double wrapped scarf. It will take the place of many jackets in your suitcase. And as you know, cashmere is warm but light.

Yosi Samra Foldable Metallic Ballet Flats

Sure sneakers can be comfortable, but they take up so much room in the suitcase, if you aren't wearing them. Why not travel lighter with these adorable and foldable leather ballet flats?

Thanks to Amazon Prime Music and iTunes, we sang and grooved our way across the country. Shop these travel essentials for your next road trip.

Tumi Mansion Carry All
One of the inspirations of the post. I recently saw this bag in a luggage store window. And even though only the handles are leather, it looked very luxe. The gold metal trims and zippers add a touch of noticeable glam. It is super roomy, sophisticated, feminine, and on sale. What more can a girl want?
