16 Chic Spring Travel Picks To Pack For Your Next Trip
Whether you are planning a spring break holiday or gearing up for a work trip, you'll want to make sure you are fully stocked with practical and stylish essentials! Here are 16 must-haves I recommend traveling with this spring. Status Anxiety Plunder Bag | $180 A black leather crossbody is a staple piece for any trip, but Status Anxiety has upgraded this staple with a bubble-texture leather. This luxe design is complete with gunmetal accents, and they even have a fun new strap you can change out with the classic black one for a bolder look! July Carry On Max Expandable | $325 I love knowing that this suitcase could get run over by a truck and all my items would still be okay. July luggage pairs function with style, and the Carry On Max Expandable is perfect for any over-packer. It even comes with an expandable zippered tote! I also love the rich maple-colored exterior with bronze metallic accents. gorjana Padlock Parker Charm Necklace | $115 Gorjana is my favorite jewelry brand for travel pieces. Everything they design is classic and chic, and for that reason, I always have such a hard time deciding what to order! My two favorite pieces to travel with are the Padlock Parker Charm Necklace and Charlie Bracelet. The necklace and lock pendant are perfect for travel because you can change out the pendants for a whole new look. Meanwhile, the Charlie Bracelet is a gorgeous piece that elevates any look, making it a staple for any stylish jetsetter. Fair Harbor Oceanside Top ($64) and Castaway Bottom ($58) Despite the chaos that ensues at the White Lotus, don't we all still wish to visit? Just me? Anyway, the White Lotus x Fair Harbor swim collaboration brings you one step closer with its White Lotus-inspired prints. This crocodile print bikini is so flattering, it's the go-to swimsuit I've traveled with recently! And the men's Marina Camp Shirt in jungle print toile is gorgeous for a coordinated look with your SO. Bandolier Mona MagSafe Crossbody Phone Case | $122 The Mona MagSafe iPhone Case in Ivory and Gold is design perfection. The pebbled leather along with the gold strap and accents create a luxurious vibe that will have people asking where you got your phone case. Adding in the MagSafe feature and the cardholder that snaps closed makes this a new travel essential for me. Quince 100% Leather Long Trench Coat | $250 Quince has some of the best leather goods on the market, and at a fraction of the price of competitors! Their 100% Leather Long Trench Coat is made of buttery-soft leather; I know I'll travel with it all year. This flattering coat pairs well with any outfit (seriously!) and even elevates your go-to airport sweats. Montce St. Barths Floral Devin Rosa Dress | $224 How precious is this dress? Montce uses incredibly high-quality fabrics in every piece, but I was super impressed when I felt this dress. The gorgeous print works for both day and night, and slipping this on just feels like I'm vacationing in Capri! Clarins Water Lip Stain | $32 When you're on the go, the last thing you want to worry about is if your lipstick needs a touchup. That's why I've become absolutely obsessed with this new lip stain from Clarins. As the name suggests, it's lightweight and easy to apply on your lips, allowing you to build up color that lasts through meals and long days out. Wear on its own for a lived-in matte look, or top with Clarins Lip Oil for a plump and glossy look. Hill House Home The Margot Dress | $248 The Margot Dress in Pink Emma Stripe from Hill House Home is a darling piece with a beautiful fit. This is one of those pieces that will make you romanticize your life the moment you put it on. From the ribbon trim to the timeless print, I know I'll travel with this dress every spring and summer! Odd Muse The Ultimate Muse Long Sleeve Collared Mini Dress | $164 Okay, let me just start by saying that Odd Muse is just on another level when it comes to workwear. Anything you buy from this brand will stand the test of time because of how designer-level the quality is. My new favorite piece for any work trip is The Ultimate Muse Long Sleeve Collared Mini Dress because of how flattering the fit is. I know when I put this dress on I don't have to worry at all about my look, because Odd Muse put in the work for me. VIVAIA Julie Arch Pro Almond-Toe Stress-Free Chunky Heels | $159 I never believed I could run in heels, but VIVAIA has made me a believer! The Julie Arch Pro heels are so incredibly comfortable, I seriously don't even realize I'm wearing heels. The extra arch support fits my foot perfectly, allowing me to walk for hours on a trip. Vuori Pose Modern Dress | $118 One of my favorite things about Vuori is the versatility of their clothing. This brand truly creates magic with its fabrics and fits. Their new ribbed maxi dress can be dressed up with a pair of heels or paired with a denim jacket and sneakers for a more casual look. Or, if you're looking for an airport outfit, the new Halo Modern Full Zip Hoodie and Halo Straight Leg Trousers are made with my favorite Dreamknit™ fabric! This fabric is amazing for travel because it's so soft and comfortable, plus it never wrinkles. Pair Eyewear The Wanda | $60 I've never had a fun experience picking out new eyeglasses until I found Pair Eyewear. The magnetic technology of their frames means that with just one pair of glasses, you can have as many different designs as you want by adding their Top Frames. These glasses are actually high quality and comfortable, too. My favorite frame style is The Wanda, and I love traveling with their Sun Tops so I always have a pair of sunglasses! LARQ Bottle PureVis™ 2 | $116 One of my travel essentials is the LARQ Bottle PureVis™ 2. This amazing piece of technology filters your water and keeps you on track for your daily water intake. It's a bonus that they also come in such cute colors! REEF Cushion Cloud Sandals | $70 REEF's Cushion Cloud Sandals are a staple of my travel wardrobe. The platform elevates my vacation look while keeping my feet comfy. For more of a formal look, I love their new Willow Ella Sandals as well. With the squared toe and leather accents, I can wear these to a nice resort dinner and still be comfortable. SET Lightweight Sweats Classic Zip Hoodie | $90 SET makes such cute travel pieces! This elevated hoodie is flattering on every body type and great for brisk weather. The Lightweight Sweats Classic Zip Hoodie is incredibly soft and pairs beautifully with their ultra-soft ribbed pieces like the Ribbed Modal Body Long Sleeve. For comfort and style, I always check out SET's latest drops.

This Australian Brand Makes My New Favorite Handbag (And It's 20% Off For Forbes Vetted Readers)
For the past year, I've been slowly and deliberately building my handbag collection. I have my go-to neutral options and a silver one to spice up my more muted outfits. But recently, I find myself almost exclusively reaching for my newest addition—Status Anxiety's Ordinary Pleasures Bag. The Australian brand opened its first store in the U.S. this past fall, and I have a feeling it'll become a household name in the States by this time next year. If you want to get ahead of the trend, Status Anxiety is giving Forbes Vetted readers 20% off everything on its site now through March 31 with code FORBES20. As a shopping editor, I discover plenty of new (or new-to-me) brands every month, but it's been a while since one left me as impressed as Status Anxiety. When I checked out its newest accessory line at the SoHo store, I spotted at least four bags I wanted to order. I picked out the Lumen Wallet and Ordinary Pleasures Bag, and I've been really happy with the quality of the designs, especially for the price. Both of the Status Anxiety pieces are made from soft, real leather, and they look much more expensive than they are. The wallet is $80 and the bag is $220, but you could easily convince me that they're worth double. I'm such a fan of this brand that I asked the team if they'd give Forbes Vetted readers an exclusive discount code, and they delivered. As I mentioned above, code FORBES20 will get you 20% off your Status Anxiety purchase now through March 31. If the designs above aren't your style, it's worth browsing the site to see if another piece catches your eye. The FORBES20 code applies to everything from totes to crossbody bags, as well as sunglasses, laptop cases and other accessories.
