Shop My Suitcase –
Favorite Travel Outfits

After 4 years of living out of my suitcase, I’ve had to be selective about what clothing makes the cut. Here you’ll find my favorite high quality, versatile clothing brands for each season.

And then some of my inexpensive but awesome Amazon finds at the end!

For Spring: Halara

These dresses are my all-time favorite item in my suitcase!

They have pockets, built in shorts and are quick drying. You can wear them for literally any occasion.

You can wear them hiking since the shorts prevent chafing. You can wear them on a hot summer day and not show any sweat because the fabric is quick drying and moisture wicking. They have a built in sports bra so you this one outfit is literally your entire outfit which saves so much in luggage space!

For Summer: Flaxmaker

No company does unique and affordable summer, beach or resort wear like Flaxmaker.

I have several of their swim suit/cover up combos, they are to die for! Hands down my favorite swim sets I’ve ever owned.

If you want a totally unique swim look, check them out.

For Winter: Dope Snow

I love this company because they do really high quality cute winter jackets with matching beanies. They have a wide variety of colors and styles. The only problem is that they frequently sell out!

I ordered one of their jacket/beanie sets for my group trips to Iceland and was so impressed with the quality and fit. There are so many pockets and little features on the jacket that made me fall in love with it.

For Fall: Wicked AF

I came across this brand back in 2020 and have been wearing their clothes in my travels ever since.

My favorite is their high to low midi dress.

This dress has been in my suitcase for ages and has traveled all around Mexico, Europe and the USA with me. The fit is super flattering and it photographs great!

Favorite Amazon Finds

All of these items I have personally purchased from Amazon and adore! Happy shopping 🙂

Columbia Hiking Boots

I’ve owned a lot of hiking shoes over the years but these are my favorite!

I’ve done multiple backpacking trips along the Superior Hiking Trail with these shoes and they have held up so well for years.

Plus I love the red laces and the color of the boot itself.

Florida Keys Tropical Set

I bought this set specifically for my Florida Keys trip and absolutely fell in love with it!! I often mix and match the top or add a jacket over top as well.

High Waisted Maroon Swim

This suit has been with me for a lot of my travels around Croatia and Florida. It’s super flattering and a great fit. It also provides a little more coverage for the days you don’t feel like wearing a teeny-tiny bikini.

Two- Piece Boho Set

I purchased this set just before traveling to Italy and it’s been a staple in my wardrobe ever since! The skirt is perfect for more conservative countries as well. And it’s easy to mix and match with other tops or cover ups!

Strappy Red One Piece

This suit is a favorite of mine! It comes in many colors and is pretty good quality given the low price point.

I wore this suit during my stay at the TWA Hotel at the JFK Airport in New York!

Backless Maxi Dress

I have been obsessed with this dress for years and have it in multiple colors.

My favorites are the deep red and blue.

I originally bought the tan as well but returned it because the tan fabric was really sheer.

Retro-Camera Phone Case

You might recognize this case from the hit Netflix show, Emily in Paris.

Truthfully, the case isn’t the highest quality (I don’t expect it will last for years…) but I love it!

I love that it has a strap. I never have to worry if I’ve set my phone down and left it somewhere. And as a photographer, I love that it makes my phone look like a retro camera. I get so many compliments on this case!

SuperStay Red Matte Lipstick

This is my go-to lipstick when traveling because the pop of red is so bright. It’s my favorite shade of red. And this brand is incredibly long lasting.

Even after a long day exploring in the sun, this lipstick is still difficult to get off before bed. It’s the perfect red lipstick for travel!

I wore this shade of red matte lipstick nearly every day in Cuba!

Packable Hiking Day Bag

This water-resistant bag folds down into self so it’s really easy to pack inside your luggage. It’s durable and unfolds into a full size backpack.

Plus I love the color options and it’s super affordable.

I used this for my day bag on the trek to Machu Picchu and it was perfect!
