Chunky Sandals
I have loved + lived in Keen Elle sandals every summer, this year they released a chunkier version, which I LOVE. I wouldn’t hike in them like the original Elle’s but love them for everything else. (i sized down 1/2 size)
Easy to refill at the airport without taking the top off, fits in the cup holder, and is an easy carry. All 4 of us bring them with when traveling, and day to day!
Cross body carry all!
Have had this one for years! I can fit my film point and shoot, sunscreen, phone, keys, bandaids and more in it. I throw it on always, and esp vacay when we are constantly on the go! Perfectly small + big enough.
Black Travel Backpack
I have had the older, original version of this for at least 15 years, and nothing can replace the amount it can hold. Usually, my laptop, camera + 2 lenses, planner, kids ipad + books, water, and all my random stuff. The zipper is a beast and it has lasted the test of time!
Portable Mag Charger
A holiday gift from my sister that we use nonstop and i just keep in my bag. Wireless charging on the go. Perfecttttt for long days out and about.
