I do a lot of traveling back and forth from Chicago. I think it is extremely important to have a few stylish and must-have items whenever I hit the road.
First off, everyone who is anyone needs a duffel bag. If you are traveling a lot, a duffel will hold up to the abuse of being tossed around, stuffed to the brim, scratched, spilled on, possibly even torn. My best advice is to go with a wool duffel bag that has leather trim. You may have to drop a pretty penny, but this is will be with you, no doubt, for over a decade.
You need comfortable shoes, such as ballet flats, slouchy boots, or Birkenstocks. This is perfect when you have to run down to the lobby of a hotel, out to the car, or when you're crammed in the coach section of the drafty plane. You never know who you will see or meet (that's why you do not want to look homeless!).
Scarves are essential even if it is summer. Climate change is drastic from car to hotel or plane to outside. Not to mention, a fabulous print scarf can make any boring jeans and tee look chic and "now".
A pillow mist is such a nice touch when you are unable to sleep in your own bed. I love Bath and Body Works Aromatherapy Sleep collection. It has lavender notes to help ease into a peaceful slumber. Works every time.
This is my ultimate essential: Burt Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream. This smells fantastic, is natural, is nice as a lip balm, cuticle cream (duh), getting rid of those dry spots, quick fix for fly-a-ways or frizz, and did I mention it is no bigger than the size of your palm? More room for clothes, hey!
The trick is when you travel, to look cute and be comfortable no matter the form of transportation.
