March is a month full of travel for me. First was Miami and next week I head home to Chicago for a long weekend and then I’ll be ending the month in D.C. for Easter weekend. I’m so excited but it had me thinking I wanted to share my most recent travel essentials as it’s one of the questions I get most emailed to me.

1. Maybelline ‘Make Me Pink’ lipstick: This has been my go-to shade for over three years and I’m still not sick of it. When you’re packing light I recommend picking one semi-neutral shade of lipstick to bring with you and leave the rest behind instead of having others weighing down your purse.
2. Sultra travel dryer: That feeling when you get to a hotel and they have one of those tiny, awful dryers that won’t get even close to drying your hair? Well avoid that situation entirely by bringing this powerful little travel dryer with you. (I’m a big fan of all Sultra products, by the way). It’s small and lightweight but effective.
3. Tieks flats: These ballet flats are game changers. Unbelievably comfortable, they pack up neat and tidy meaning you can throw them in your purse to change into once your feet have had enough of your heels. They are also the perfect shoes to travel in. Hello, airport walking!
4. Friends Layla headphones: These headphones step up the game of listening to music by being ultra chic and stylish but lightweight enough to have in your carry-on.
