Now that you know what to wear on your next warm-weather vacation, I'm sharing the hottest accessories and beauty must-haves that can enhance your luxury resort vacation.
Briggs & Riley luggage is so well thought out that you can instantly tell that true travel experts designed it. One of my favorite features is the expandable packing system that compresses from the outside with one push! I also love the inside pocket that acts as a folding garment bag inside your suitcase to protect your best outfits and minimize wrinkles. This bag is the ultimate luxury luggage for any trip, globally.
Bosca is your go-to for all things premium leather. My favorite duffle from them will stand the test of time in both quality and style. I use this classic bag when I want to elevate my travel look. It's perfect for weekend road trips, an overnight stay at my favorite beach spot, or if I'm jetting off to a resort.
I love the design of the Isla set from Bandolier. This is the only phone case I want to use nowadays! The black leather and metallic details are in line with the summer chrome trend, but it will also be perfect for any time of year. The gold wrist chain looks and feels designer, and the extra pouch gives me enough room for my essentials when I'm walking around the resort.
For the ultimate travel handbag, I love the Drippy Bag from Songmont. This bag is a work of art, and you can tell from all the details that it was designed with care. The secure magnetic flap over the zipper makes this a safe bag for all your day trips and gives any outfit a luxe look. The stunning Stardust color is truly special and will pair well with all your resort outfits.
The only hair accessory you need is this head-turning clip from POP MART. You can wear it in your hair for a polished look or on the strap of your purse for more of a statement. The pastel colorway and pearl finish add an ethereal touch to any look. POP MART is known for its high-quality collectibles, but the new SKULLPANDA Paradox Collection is truly a work of art. Each design is incredibly detailed, so you cannot go wrong no matter which one you pick.
Upgrade your vacation videos with professional sound from RØDE. This set comes with two compact microphones and a receiver, and the setup is simple, even if you're not a pro. The flexible gain controls are a game changer! You'll be amazed at the difference these microphones make, especially in outdoor videos where the elements can ruin your sound. Even with an iPhone camera, the quality is crystal clear and syncs up perfectly to every video.
Pair Eyewear is my go-to for sunglasses these days. When I'm on vacation, I'm wearing sunglasses the entire day, but I sometimes prefer to wear prescription glasses for a long day in the sun. I love Pair's new polarized Horn Sun Tops over my lenses for a tropical touch to my look.
I go for staple pieces with my travel jewelry, which means focusing on high-quality items. Quince makes the highest quality pieces at low prices; I don’t have to worry about anything tarnishing. The 14K Gold Diamond Bezel Station Bracelet has to be my most-loved piece; I wear it all the time and always catch myself looking at the diamonds sparkling on my wrist. For a resort dinner date, I would pair this with the 14K Gold Gemstone Vintage Inspired Ring to add a statement piece to my look.
For unique jewelry that stands out, Mignon Faget makes stunning pieces. Their designs are inspired by New Orleans, and you won't find other jewelry out there quite like theirs. I love my sterling silver Bow Ring from the brand and always have people asking where I got it!
Jewelry from Astrid & Miyu is always something I look forward to wearing with my resort looks. My go-to earrings are the Cosmic Star Dome Hoops. These 18K gold-plated earrings are the perfect size to go with any outfit, and the star detailing gives them an out-of-this-world quality that elevates them from a standard gold hoop.
Glamnetic makes my favorite press-ons, so they are a must-have for every trip. Their new Siren's Cove collection knocks it out of the park! Each of these designs actually looks better than a luxury salon manicure, and the last time I wore these, they lasted me two and a half weeks. There's a design for every vacation vibe out there in this collection, but I'm obsessed with the Sunny Shores design. It actually looks like you have little shells and starfish on your nails!
This collaboration has everything you need for your resort getaway. From sunscreen and fragrance to aloe and shimmering body lotion, these products will transform your resort experience in the sun. Plus, the packaging is absolutely adorable for all your seaside pictures!
Bloomeffects' CEO and founder, Kim van Haaster, has curated the perfect morning routine for your vacation glow. This bundle has everything you need, starting with a lightweight Vitamin C face oil that gently creates radiant skin. I am obsessed with the Tulip Dew Drops; I use them every day under my makeup for a glowy base. For a resort look, I need my SPF, and the Tulip Dew Sunscreen Serum has an SPF of 50! Plus, it gives the most beautiful finish with a little tint.
For more of a full coverage look, I love the Rodan + Fields Radiant Defense Perfecting Liquid SPF 30. It has a beautiful dewy finish with buildable coverage making it perfect for a pool day. Because it's formulated by dermatologists, it has added skincare benefits that leave my skin glowing even after I take it off.
This face mist is the perfect thing to spritz on your face and hydrate after a long day of travel, and it's a must-pack item for any getaways. Not only does it hydrate your skin, but it features the brand's proprietary AVL SOM3®, which helps make your skin appear plumper and more youthful. It also helps eliminate redness, which I always find helpful when traveling!
This captivating scent isn't your typical beach day fragrance, but it should be. For an ultra-fresh daytime scent, In This World by Liis is perfect for your next getaway. With notes of blood orange, fig, violet, and tonka wood, this is a perfect blend of earthy and fresh.
Sol de Janiero creates the most delicious scents in every product, but their trio of summer scents is definitely a standout combo. This set has a mist for every phase of your vacation experience, from day to night. I love to layer any scent from this trio with their new Body Badalada™ Lotion, which keeps my skin hydrated 24/7. This body lotion is another way to get your memorable vacation scent in, as it smells like a tropical vacation.
Imaginary Authors' perfumes are inspired by books, so each scent has a story. Yesterday Haze has notes of iris, tree bark, cream, and orchard dust; it creates a beautiful all-day scent on the skin. It is described as "a long-deserved Mediterranean getaway; the cheeseboard of your dreams; paying cash for a two-hundred-year-old crumbling stone cottage on the outskirts of a small village with one great wine bar where there is always a cat sleeping in the window." After smelling this, I can safely say this lovely fragrance has me believing I can create these same memories while I wear it.
