1. An essential cropped tank that has most likely been blessed by a fairy godmother, because this takes your basic cami and goes *poof.* An instantly chic upgrade is yours for the taking due to this high-neck silhouette.
2. Columbia hiking boots because perfection really does exist, and it's both stylish *and* functional. Reviewers can't stop raving about the solid quality, out-of-the-box comfort, and awesome traction that these waterproof babies offer.
3. A large travel wallet because there is NOTHING WORSE than losing a connecting boarding pass while on a plane. Is it underneath your seat? In the carry-on you stored in the overhead compartment? DID YOU DROP IT EN ROUTE TO THE PLANE? I don't know, I'm tired — just get this and save yourself the potential headache.
4. An Eyeko waterproof mascara that makes ~waves~ because it really, truly, 100% delivers on its no raccoon eyes promise. So go ahead and watch Titanic or walk your dog during a torrential downpour — black smudges gracing your under-eyes are officially a problem of the past.
5. A two-piece set for red-eye flights when the only effort you'd like to muster up is reserved for caffeine making and caffeine making, only. This 'fit is easy peasy.
6. A water-resistant weekender duffle roomy enough to fit the essentials (no fewer than 63 outfit options and seven pair of shoes). The back strap fits conveniently over suitcase handles, plus it's water-resistant and really darn durable.
7. Compression socks to keep your adorable little piggies (AKA your feet) from swelling up. TL: DR; These help prevent leg soreness, cramping, *and* use a moisture-wicking fabric.
8. BPA-free covers if you've gotten into the habit of flinging your toothbrush into your foundation-covered makeup bag and calling it a day. When you think about it: ew. This tiny gadget keeps grime off the bristles that are intended to disinfect your mouth.
9. Packing cubes capable of helping you fit your entire 👏 friggin' 👏 wardrobe 👏 inside your carry-on. Plus, this keeps everything lookin' niiiiice and neat.
10. A TSA-approved transparent organizer so that you don't have to fish around your suitcase for liquids (and then stuff them in a clear baggy) while going through airport security. Flying is nerve-wracking enough. Let's not be panicking about whether or not our favorite moisturizer will be unjustly confiscated.
11. A draped wrap skirt you'll find yourself gravitating toward for any occasion. It all lies in the power of shoe choice: Pair this with heels for tasting course dinners or with sneakers for that ~aesthetic~ coffee shop you found on Instagram.
12. A three piece luggage set available in several vibrant colors because heed my warning — being able to distinguish your suitcase at baggage claim is life-changing.
13. Cat-eye sunglasses that block the light, add some trendiness to your low-key fit, and (most importantly) don't cost a small fortune. Lose them? Break them? Scratch them? The loss won't feel quite as significant.
14. An Energizer clip-on light that can be easily slipped on over that engrossing thriller paperback you're reading. Rather than turning on the overhead light (which will make your seatmates want to murder you), this allows you to continue reading without disturbing anyone's beauty sleep.
15. A crisscross side lace-up one-piece so chic, it'll be impossible to not take a mirror pic as soon as you try it on. Channeling your inner MySpace self never felt so trendy.
16. A memory foam foot rest because maybe they advertised that your seat will have one, but guess what? It's not functioning. This little sling allows you to truly ~kick your feet up~ and relax, promoting circulation and helping you feel less cramped than in your tiny seat.
17. A collapsible Nomader water bottle you can roll up and stow away when not in use, the perfect accessory to pack if your weekender tote is basically about to burst.
18. A bug bite suction tool for anyone who feels like an all-you-can-eat buffet for mosquitoes. This promptly eases itching and swelling by removing insect saliva, venom, and other irritants, so rest assured you won't spend the night scratching at your legs and cursing the brief time you spent in your backyard.
19. A portable pack of soap sheets that will certainly come in ~handy~ because train toilets — and the decorative dispensers that never contain soap — shouldn't have to feel like the enemy.
20. A straw visor if you love the look of a floppy wicker beach hat but are prone to overheating. This provides sun protection and style, sans scalp sweat.
21. A scoopneck swimsuit that is here to take your hand and lead you to greener pastures (translation: TikTok fashion-land) in which stylish cutouts are the only thing that matters.
22. A two-piece set you'll dub "vacation brunch attire," aka an outfit you'll want to wear for vacation mimosas. Slipping on this cropped top and flowy skirt has a 100% effectiveness rate at getting you no less than one million compliments.
23. Disposable silicone earplugs because ear pain during air travel is REAL, and babies have every reason to cry because of it. Just saying.
