The One Thing Every Fashion Girl Needs to Travel in Style

Thank you Travelpro for sponsoring this post. Get the Upgrade with Travelpro!

Hi lovelies,

It’s official. My wanderlust is in full-blown effect now that it’s summertime! I love traveling and exploring new places, meeting new people, and slowing down my usually super busy lifestyle while taking in a new atmosphere. 

Believe it or not, one of my favorite things about traveling is packing for the trip. It’s that magical time where I can visualize, prepare for, and create the type of trip that I want to experience before I even step foot on the plane!

That’s why I wanted to share the one thing that every fashion girl needs to travel in style, so you too can share my love for travel whether your jetsetting with your besties, on a romantic getaway with your beau, or seeing the world on a solo mission, and of course, that thing is falling in love with your luggage.

Style Travel Tip #1: Never stress over your luggage
 

One of my travel must-haves is the Travelpro® Crew™ 11 21” Hardside Spinner. It’s a piece of luggage from their flagship collection that provides reliable durability, consistent quality, and an easy-to-use roll functionality, thanks to its Travelpro®'s PrecisionGlide™ System, which is a cutting-edge trio of patented features that ranges from the handle to wheels. The PrecisionGlide™ System allows for a precise maneuverability and seamless roll. Did I mention that it also has a sleek design and innovative craftsmanship? That’s why it’s my go-to, because the last thing I want to worry about or stress over, is whether or not my luggage can withstand the trip. 

Plus, the entire Travelpro® luggage collection undergoes extensive testing, so it’s ready to face any travel trials and tribulations that comes its way.

Style Travel Tip #2: Let your luggage double as a style accessory

Since traveling in style is the best way to travel, Travelpro® Crew™ 11 Hardside Collection comes in five colors ranging from Navy, Silver, Carbon Grey, Obsidian Black with Black or Blue Interior. I opted for the Obsidian Black with a Blue interior so I can have a pop of color on the inside with the exterior matching all of my outfits. 

It’s also equipped with a 100% polycarbonate, lightweight hardside shell for a fashionable finish that minimizes the appearance of any scratches.

Style Travel Tip #3: Never run out of power

Even though I love traveling as a way to unplug and decompress, I couldn’t travel without the external USB port on my Travelpro® Crew™ 11 21” Hardside Spinner (available on select carry-on models) and it allows me to charge-up while on the go with an easily removable battery (sold separately) that complies with airline policies.

Happy travels!
