The Elevated Vacation Edit: 10 Versatile Pieces for Every Trip

Recently, I went to sunny LA for a few days of dinners, some pool time, and of course, shopping! I always get the best ideas when I’m visiting LA, and usually I spot a few trends that we can all get excited about. This time, I stayed at the Beverly Hills Hotel, which is a favorite. Breakfast on the patio was lovely, and I even spotted JLo! I didn’t even realize I was walking right behind her until everyone started asking her for selfies 😂

After LA, Jake and I headed to Palm Springs to relax for the rest of his spring break. Before leaving, I planned my outfits on style boards — everything from the travel day to coffee runs to pool time. I always find it helpful to pack by activity; it keeps me organized, and then I’m sure I have everything I need (which is usually never a problem, since I always bring a little extra!).

Today’s post is an elevated vacation edit that recommends what to bring for your next trip. No matter where you’re going, these are versatile pieces you’ll wear on repeat! I’ve put together some new style boards using the exact pieces I brought on my trip. Keep reading for a fresh travel outfit idea, along with the spring staples you might like. Happy travels!

Full disclosure: I’m not a packing expert, and I realize there are some things that probably should have stayed behind 😬 But, that’s what happens when you pack the night before, and don’t take the time to think through every outfit. I’m just like many of you — figuring it out as I go. So, the bottom line is, try not to overpack. Just do the best you can!
