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. Click here to get 20% Off All Hayden Harnett Travel Items.

Intuition Animal Print Tote with Wheels (regularly $98, Store Adore price $78) From Intution, the celeb-fave, trend-setting site, this chic bag boasts a 14 inch pulley easily concealed by a zipper, 2 interior compartments, and a matching, detachable zipper pouch. Click here to get 20% off EVERYTHING at Intuition.

Aspinal Premium Travel Bag from Redpig (weekender regularly $580, Store Adore price $464; grand tourer regularly $690, Store Adore price $552) A new site devoted to luxury gifting, Redpig devotes an entire section to travel. This classic bag, handmade from English bridle leather, is super sturdy but soft—perfect for the jetsetting guy. Click here to get 20% off EVERYTHING at Redpig.

INSIDE YOUR SUITCASE:

Pack items that do double—or even triple—duty. Here are a few genius pieces that have a permanent place inside our suitcase.

Lilla P Origami Wrap (regularly $98, Store Adore price $78) The soft cotton wrap can be worn at least seven ways—one for every day of your week off. A video on the Lilla P site shows you how to do it—genius! Click here to get 20% off EVERYTHING at Lilla P.

Echo Ikat Large Scarf from South Moon Under (regularly $68, Store Adore price $54) Inspired by Hollywood, oversized scarves are now a year-round accessory. Wear this ikat print one—another huge trend right now—around your neck (even during summer!), as a travel blank or even as a sarong on the beach. Click here to get 20% off EVERYTHING at South Moon Under’s website and 11 store locations—for men, women, kids, and home.

Gypsy Maxi Dress from Pink Mascara (regularly $132, Store Adore Price $112) You’ve probably seen this look on your favorite starlet too. Maxi dresses can be worn by day with flights, by night with jewelry, and are the chic-est new travel gear—as comfortable by so much more stylish than a sweat suit. Tie dye is huge this season. Click here to get $20 off any purchase of $100 or more from Pink Mascara, our go-to e-stop for of-the-moment clothing and accessories.

Alanna Bess Isle of Capri Necklace (regularly $378, Store Adore price $283) The kind of piece to end all searching: delicate, modern, and a total focal point, this versatile strand of gold links and stones can be worn 7 different ways—from choker to belt—as illustrated by the site’s guide, “7 Ways To The Isle Of Capri”. Click here to get 25% off ALL Alanna Bess jewelry.

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.

Cheap Thrills in New York’s East Village

If you live in New York (or are coming for a visit), there’s no better place for values and steals than the East Village. Print our Cheap Thrills East Village map, and check out the highlights of our afternoon with Alisyn.

Pink Olive (20% Discount in-store and online!)

We can’t seem to get enough of Pink Olive around here. Every item in this adorable shop is a true treasure, and barely anything is priced above $50. I purchased this absolutely adorable mini stuffed ladybug. With my Store Adore discount, it came out to just about $6!

Girly NYC

Alisyn and I laughed over hilariously sleep masks printed with phrases like “Wake me when it’s time for coffee” and ogled the frilly boy shorts, but what I’m really coveting is this Amanda Uprichard Dress–the ruffles are feminine but not clowny, and the subtle python print adds some extra sass. Find all this and more in Girly’s boudoir-like space.
