What I Pack for My Day Trips: The Essentials I Never Leave Without
Whether I’m roaming around a new city or driving around Manhattan to find my next fave coffee shop, I’ve mastered the art of packing light but chic for my day trips. I’m all about efficiency, aesthetics, and being prepared for content-worthy moments. Here's a peek into what I always bring along:
🎒 The Bag:
I rotate between my new BÉIS Crescent CatchAll Bag or my Longchamp Le Pliage Energy XS Crossbody Tote depending on the vibe and how much content I will be carrying for the day.
💄 Beauty Minis:
Because touch-ups are a must — I pack my Kosas travel-sized SPF, a travel-sized fragrance (currently loving Kayali Vanilla 28), and a lip combo I love. My lip faves currently include Makeup by Mario, Kosas, and Lawless.
📱 Tech on the Go:
My phone (obviously), a portable charger, and my cameras: the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 and if I’m shooting and need high quality photos I also bring my Sony ZV E10. And don’t forget a phone selfie lighiting for any indoor/restaurant shooting.
📍Travel Musts:
Hand sanitizer, a pack of wipes, sunglasses, and my wallet with ID and cards. Sometimes I toss in a foldable tote in case I do a little shopping.
Day trips are all about making memories without overpacking. With the right essentials, I’m ready for anything — from spontaneous museum stops to golden hour content shoots.
