A pair of foldable ballet flats for when your feet need a vacation…
The ultimate lightweight travel shoe to slip into after a long day of walking — and since this pair is foldable, it takes up practically no suitcase space. Stash these in your carry-on or handbag, and since they’re under $30, in case of spills or muddy puddles, there’s not too much to worry about.
A carryall that looks and plays the part…
BÉIS’ Weekender bag has a sleek, structured silhouette that gives off serious first-class energy without the luxury price tag. It’s also packed with practical features, from multiple compartments for shoes, toiletries, and more, to a trolley sleeve that makes it just as functional as it is fashionable.
A tennis bracelet you can wear without worry…
Your most precious jewelry may be staying home for vacation, but that doesn’t mean your sparkle has to. Here’s the perfect tennis bracelet to pair with all your travel ensembles, for an excellent price at under $100. It delivers the timeless look for a fraction of the price, so you can stack it, style it, and keep it in heavy rotation without sweating the small stuff.
A pair of everyday gold hoop earrings that look like a splurge…
Gold hoops can easily reach the $200 range, but Ana Luisa offers an affordable pair that’s made for everyday wear. The chunky silhouette is made from 14k gold-plated brass, giving you that designer look without the designer price tag. Plus, they’re lighter than traditional gold hoops and feature hypoallergenic titanium posts, so you can wear them on repeat throughout your vacation without worrying about treating them like precious cargo.
A whimsical PVC organizer for all your little travel must-haves…
Keep all your vacay knickknacks organized with this little bag from the creators of the cult-favorite Bogg Bag. The colorful see-through pouch keeps your jewelry, chargers, beauty products, and other tiny travel necessities from floating around your suitcase. Who knew packing all the little things could be this fun?
A woven wallet that gives off quiet luxury vibes…
Love the style of Bottega Veneta’s woven accessories, but not ready for the investment? JW PEI’s Woven Textured Envelope Wallet brings that sophisticated aesthetic to your vacation wardrobe without the premium price. Crafted from vegan leather, this budget-friendly accessory doesn’t skimp on the luxe details. Gold hardware and multiple compartments give it an elevated feel, while the detachable wristlet strap gives you another way to style it.
A compact umbrella to always keep on hand…
You never know when a surprise rainstorm will roll in, which is why it’s great that this palm-sized umbrella fits just about anywhere. Smaller than a Perrier bottle and weighing about as much as an iPhone, it’s easy to stash in your handbag or carry-on without giving up precious space. It even comes with a protective case to keep those post-rain drips away from your valuables, and it has a lifetime replacement guarantee.
A baguette bag that serves major ’90s energy…
If you’ve been eyeing the East-West styles from The Row and Fendi but you’re not ready to commit, BAGGU’s version is an easy way to test-drive the trend. The heavyweight nylon is durable enough to hold your mini travel essentials for a night out or dinner, and you won’t have to baby it like you would a delicate leather bag.
A gold mesh watch that turns every ensemble luxe…
Meet Breda’s Jane watch, your new go-to accessory for adding a little refinement to any travel outfit. Whether you’re zhuzhing up an airport sweatsuit or just looking for a way to accent jeans and a tee, this watch’s graceful mother-of-pearl dial and tapered gold mesh band have the understated elegance you’re looking for. It’s the kind of accessory that’ll enhance even your most casual look.
A pair of oval sunglasses that adds some major flair…
Say hello to the budget-friendly cousin of Celine’s Triomphe sunnies. These oval shades have that same chic, fashion-forward aesthetic but are much easier on the wallet. They’re available in a variety of frames, patterns, and lens colors, so you can pick the pair that best matches your vacation vibe — and even stock up on a few backups.
A silk bandana that gives your wardrobe a nostalgic twist…
This 100% silk accessory can be styled a handful of ways: as a halter or bandeau top, belt, neck scarf, bag accent, or hair accessory. Pick your favorite from the lineup of striking patterns and rich colors, and for less than $70, you’ll get plenty of mileage out of this little vacation multitasker.
A little neck candy for your everyday rotation…
Don’t waste precious moments of your trip worrying about losing your favorite necklace. Instead, opt for this 14k-gold-plated choker that features shimmering cubic zirconia stones and a lobster clasp for a secure finish. It’s the kind of everyday sparkle you can wear on repeat without treating it like a family heirloom.
A durable anti-theft crossbody that can keep up with all your travels…
This compact, lightweight crossbody lets you sightsee, shop, and explore to your heart’s content without constantly worrying about pickpockets. It features slash-resistant interior panels, a sturdy double cable strap, locking zippers, and RFID-protected pockets for your passport, cards, and ID. Basically, it’s ready to keep up with the most ambitious of vacation itineraries.
A corduroy baseball hat that’s ready for anything…
Sudden wind, bad hair day, glaringly sunny afternoon… You never know when a baseball hat will come in handy. But a corduroy hat? Unlike structured cotton styles, corduroy is more forgiving when it comes to packing and less likely to come out of your bag looking the worse for wear. Roll it up, squish it into your carryall, or tuck it into your backpack, and it’ll still be ready to wear when you arrive. Plus, the textured fabric is less likely to show dirt and lint, making it a no-brainer for travel.
