A personal item is your second smaller bag that holds your must-have flight essentials. It’s the one that slides under the seat in front of you, and it can be anything from a backpack to a weekender or even a crossbody. While it might seem easier to choose than a suitcase, it can actually be much trickier.

Here are the top bags our community swears by for every flight!

Unlike at home, when traveling in cold weather, you’ll likely spend hours outside, so your coat matters. 🥶 Instead of packing multiple options, choose one hard-working jacket that does it all.

Look for a coat that is:
✅ Waterproof or water-resistant
✅ Warm and insulated but not bulky
✅ Packable or compressible and lastly, stylish enough to wear every day

🧥These are TFG readers’ favorite winter coats, praised for their warmth, versatility, and travel-friendliness.

From snowy escapes to chilly city breaks, these are the cold-weather pants our community is loving for winter travels 🤍❄️

When temperatures drop, layer thermal leggings (think merino wool or fleece-lined) under your everyday pants for instant warmth without the bulk.

Heading somewhere extra cold or planning long days outdoors? Insulated winter pants are a must for staying cozy and comfortable all day long.

🚨 BACK IN STOCK 🚨Our Compass Rose Secret Bra Wallet is officially back! 🎉

Back in 2008, my grandma and I were on our first trip to Europe - a whirlwind 10-day tour. On Day 2, the tour group left us behind at the train station. Our bags, our purses, and even our passports were still on the bus. 😱
We didn’t have phones. We didn’t know the local language. No one at the train station spoke English. Everything inside the station was closed, and we felt completely alone.

By some miracle we caught the Air France office staff right as they were closing. They kindly let us use their phone to call the tour company only to find out:
☑️ The tour director never did a headcount
☑️ They had no idea we were missing
☑️ They refused to come back for us

As we’d never traveled outside of North America this was a terrifying experience, especially for my grandmother. Suddenly, her eyes perked up as she remembered that she’d snuck some money and a credit card inside her SHOE!!! Her forward thinking saved us. We made it to Amsterdam that night, exhausted, shaken, but safe.

From that moment on, I never traveled without a backup. My grandma gave me a tiny bra pouch that came with me around the world and inspired the Compass Rose Secret Bra Wallet.

It’s not just a place to hide extra cash and cards. It’s a lifeline and a quiet little piece of security that gives you peace of mind no matter where you are.

Because no matter how much you plan, travel can be unpredictable.
But now… you can feel prepared. ✈️💪

🖤 In memory of my fierce and clever grandma, who taught me how to be both overly cautious and yet somehow adventurous.

❄️ The two shoes I never skip when packing for winter travel? 👟 A comfy sneaker and 👢 a waterproof boot. Sneakers (especially leather!) are perfect for mild, dry days, while waterproof boots keep your feet warm and dry when it’s rainy or cold. I always look for styles with sturdy soles, good tread, and all-day comfort. Versatility is key when packing light!

👉 I’ve been testing new Bagsmart travel pieces, and here’s a quick look at three that I’ve recently tried out:

🧳 Blast 43L Roller Backpack – Used this on my recent Cancun staycation and loved the convertible wheels-to-backpack design. Tons of exterior organization, laptop sleeve, water bottle holder + RFID secret pocket protection.

🧼 Blast Hanging Toiletry Bag – Clean, compact, and part of the matching set. Water resistant interiors = major plus! Can work for carryon or checked bag travels.

🎒 Blast Pro 40L Backpack – Spacious, sleek, and perfect for maximizing carry-on space. Total organization + compression. Great for flights when you need a large carryon, but want to skip the wheels!

Holiday gifting just got easier thanks to Nordstrom Rack, and I’ve rounded up my top picks for travelers! 🧳🎁✨

Whether you’re shopping for a friend, family, a co-worker, or treating yourself (because yes, that counts too), there’s something here for every kind of traveler.

Here’s what I’m loving this season:

🎄 Cozy Pajama Sets – A classic gift, and always a win for travelers who want to feel at home on the road. Lightweight + easy to pack! TFG Tip: Choose a bright color so it won’t get left behind in a hotel bed.

👜 Chic Everyday Purse – Opt for a crossbody that’s roomy enough for day trips, but stylish enough for nights out. Nylon is functional and easy to clean. Always choose a bag that zips closed! Form meets function in the best way.

💧 Insulated Water Bottle – Hydration is key when you’re on the go, and this one makes it easy and pretty. Perfect for long flights, road trips, and staying eco-conscious wherever you land.

✨ Pretty Earrings – A timeless touch that instantly dresses up a travel outfit, and they weigh practically nothing in your suitcase.

🖤 Polished Belt – An easy accessory that elevates even the most basic airport look. Versatile staples like this are a must for travelers building a capsule wardrobe!

🎀 K-Beauty Favorites from Tony Moly – A little glow-to-go! These are perfect for long-haul flights or a quick pick-me-up upon arrival. Travel-friendly and so fun to gift or slip into a stocking.

💫 Kitsch Hair Accessories – Their solid shampoo has been a top seller with the Travel Fashion Girl community this year! These are compact, TSA-friendly, and the perfect little carry-on upgrade.

As a plus, most of these gifts are under $30, which makes gifting that much easier. ✔️
