I’m sharing my 5 Fall Vacation Essentials — a mix of beauty, sleep, and sanity-savers I never travel without. We’re talking shine-free SPF, folding hangers (because hotel rooms never have enough!), a portable humidifier, vitamin C serum pouches, and—wait for it—mouth tape. 😂 (Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it!)

✨ Mixing high & low is my favorite styling trick! ✨

This outfit does just that—pairing a luxe silk scarf (so versatile: tie it on a bag, in your hair, or around your neck like I did!) with a crazy-soft short sleeve cardigan and polished wide-leg denim. The cardigan is a layering dream—wear it buttoned or open over a cami or tee for year-round style.

I finished things off with metallic mary janes for a little sparkle—and voilà, an outfit that’s equal parts practical, polished, and fun. ✨
