The only thing better than going on a summer getaway is planning for your trip. But with travel becoming increasingly more complicated and cumbersome, packing strategically has become a requirement. Here are our tips for travel bags and items to get you there in style—looking no further than the overhead compartment.

TRAVEL BAGS:

First, with so many airlines charging for checked suitcases (not to mention the dread of lost luggage!), we prefer to carry on. Since you’ll be lugging your bags around with you, we recommend suitcases that are lightweight, cushioned, and leave room for shopping:

1)

Hayden Harnett Ibiza Convertible Flight Tote (regularly $198, Store Adore price $158) Hayden Harnett handbags and luggage are artfully constructed and retain a bit of a rocker edge. Expandable and with extra padding for a laptop, this one can be worn as a day bag (use the convertible straps to wear it cross body or over the shoulder) or folded up and stored it inside of a larger bag.

Multi-Tasking Co-Ed Beauty Items from Beautyhabit: Save serious space with a cosmetic bag filled with multi-tasking products that the whole family can share. Men will recoil from anything too pink, but double duty items that are “officially” made for guys can be used by women too. A few we like: Hamadi Shea Pomade (regularly $24, Store Adore price $19) can be used as a styling product for short or long hair; moisturizes and serves as a natural sunscreen for the scalp; and can be used as a skin moisturizer. Belou’s P Mosquito Repellent Oil (regularly $35, Store Adore price $28) is perfect for post-beach—a sesame seed oil base calms sunburned skin and acts as a natural insect repellent. Bonny Doon Farm Salves (regularly $9, Store Adore price $7) are the best all-around product—use as a lip balm or to soothe chapped elbows or hands. The light spruce scent of The Lodge acts as a subtle fragrance for men or women. All items are carry-on friendly. Click here to get 20% off everything at Beautyhabit.
