I’m spoiled. I live in Los Angeles. We have amazing weather, Palm Trees, beaches and many places to keep us entertained, but that doesn’t mean I don’t like packing a bag and hitting the road as much as I can! Personally, I enjoy tropical trips. I want to be in a bikini with a sweet drink in my hand. But, even if I’m staying relatively local, I like having the best travel accessories for making my wanderlust life easy breezy! Here’s the list…
Luggage
Sometimes you need a suitcase; or maybe just a rolling dufflebag or overnight bag will do. Either way, make sure you have options because each trip is different. *Travel tip* If it doesn’t fit in a carry-on, you don’t need it. I find that people over-pack. Learn to pack a small suitcase that will fit in an overhead compartment if you’re traveling… and invest in a multi-purpose carry on that can hold your normal purse contents, laptop, and any other smaller things you need.

Luggage Accessories
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve grabbed the wrong suitcase off of the carousel. Now, I buy obnoxiously loud patterned luggage. One of my discoveries last week was luggage covers. Not only do they make your suitcase easy to spot, they protect them from wear and tear. Also great to have are luggage tags with your name and at least your phone number on them.

Travel Purses and Wallets
Although it’s nice to have giant purse that doubles as a carry-on, you don’t necessarily want to carry that all over the place DURING the vacation. Pick a smaller, fashionable purse to bring with you. Since I normally find some hiking or outdoor activity to do, I do like bringing a backpack or fanny pack with me! Yes, fanny packs are a thing again. I wear mine in the front though… so I guess you’d call it a “hooha” pack! (ooh, dirty jokes). Why wear it in front? It’s hard for people to steal from you right to your face. When traveling internationally, I like having a giant wallet/passport holder that keeps everything safe, in one spot.

Backpack:Â Travelon Anti-theft Signature Slim Multipurpose Backpack
Sport Fanny Pack: Multipurpose Sports Travel Hip Bag with Water Bottle Holder and Cell Phone Pocket
Passport Holder: Zoppen Multi-purpoMultise Rfid Blocking Travel Passport Wallet
Beach Bags, Wet Bikini Bags, Water Bottles and Towels!
What do I put in my beach bag? Sunblock, a towel, a water bottle, a book, my iPod… It’s great to have a small beach bag just for you beach things. I hate bringing my good purse to the beach. Why a water bottle? If you want to spend $7 on a bottle of VOSS at a resort, that’s your prerogative… I’ll fill my own bottle up for free. One other great thing I’ve discovered are wet bikini bags. Hasn’t fully dried? Throw it in a bikini bag and you don’t have to worry about the rest of your clothes getting damp.

Water Bottle:Â Double Walled Stainless Steel Cola Shape Travel Sports Water BottleÂ
Bikini Bag: The Royal Standard Carlisle Bikini Bag
Beach Towel:Â Cotton Craft – Oversized Jacquard Double Woven Velour Beach Towel 39×68
Toiletry Bottles and Bags
For the most part, I don’t mind using the toiletries that hotels provide, but I do like bringing my own hair products and face products as well. (Reusable containers also cut down on waste!) I also know that no matter how tight you seal something, It will find a way to explode all over your clothes… so I make sure I put all my bottles inside something.

Jewelry Bags
I’m not super stylish. I typically wear the same jewelry throughout my entire vacation, but for some of you fashionistas, packing jewelry is a thing. They make some pretty awesome bags to carry all of your favorite bobbles. They also lessen the chance of you losing your favorite diamond earings.

I hope to travel more in the next couple of years. These are some great suggestions for travel accessories that can make life easier.
We are hoping to travel more soon, once we get some debt squared away. I really love all of those suit cases! I know I will need a new one.
This is such an useful selection of accessories!
They’re really great for travelling!
woww i love the suit cases <3
These are all must haves! I love getting a colorful suitcase for me and my twins! It’s always easy to spot and it’s really adorable!
Awesome picks for the best accessories! I always want to see my things organized whenever I travel so I make sure that I have a reliable suitcase plus different types of bags to put in side from unmentionables and the toiletries as well. These are all lovely!
This is a great list! I am definitely in the market for a new suitcase and will check a couple of these out!
Great suggestions! I will be traveling by plane for the first time this year. This will help.
These are great ideas to bring along with you on a trip. Never thought about the water bottle thing.
Great stuff! The rolling duffel is so cute. I’m tired of my black luggage.
we have a lot of travel scheduled this year! thanks for posting such accesories! it gave me an idea! thanks!
I like everything you picked. I do have a few similar items and love them. I think the hard suitcases are much better for trips that you do not go on a airplane. Mine was destroyed.
Love your picks! I want them all, especially the leopard carry on toiletry bag. I love that it has a hook so you can hang it in the closet. 🙂
CA’s weather is the best! I want everything you listed there, especially the stripped blue luggage.
I’m all about making life easier! And sometimes… a little more stylish.
These are so cute! Seeing this makes me want to travel more. But at the same time, I wonder if I could some of the toiletry bags for outings with my son. They would come in handy for those times I need to pack his medicine.
I need a bag with four wheels! It makes life so much easier
The luggage options look so cool! They make me want to go on a summer vacation immediately 🙂
Having nice accessories somehow makes the trip more fun, doesn’t it! You have displayed a beautiful collection of choices. Toiltry bags and bottles are just so handy when traveling and I want exactly the right ones for us.
I just added the bottle to my must have items. Being able to fill it past security is nice. Also when traveling, filling it at the hotel before heading out for a day of wandering has helped me stay away from the local “ugh” when drinking water in other places.
So any of these are great items! I love a backpack when I travel and that mini stylish one is perfect. I also love the case for toiletries!
Ling these travel items. I fell in love with my American Tourister luggage recently.
I love your suitcase. I guess that tag would go pretty well with it. So cute. Yup! I love the jewelry case. I have one and it did wonders for me keeping my jewelry in order and safe from being mangled and lost
These are all great travel items. I need a new passport holder and would love a wallet like that.
I need to save this post for when I need to buy some gifts for some friends of mine! What great ideas!
I love the colours in those suitcases! We purchased a few suitcases a couple of years ago and they just got trashed with the airlines. I would love to pick up a new set.
I totally love the variety of blues in the beach bags area. This is the perfect list for gift ideas for friends and family this spring.
You have a terrific selection here. My husband and I are still using some beaten down old luggage that needs to be replaced desperately. I will be checking out some of these ideas.
A suitcase is so key for traveling. And a good suitcase at that. When I invested in a decent one I definitely helped save good money on not having to replace my cheap ones ever so often. Great list of accessories.
I need to invest in a really good suitcase too. And were right to get a suitcase that stands out to prevent grabbing the wrong one. I’m actually bookmarking this page because I seen a few things that I want so thank you!
