Giddyup! Whether you’re planning to raw-dog it on a dusty, windblown road trip; you’re (over) packing for a few nights with pals in a nearby seaside town – or maybe cottage country’s calling. Whatever the plan and wherever the road takes you, we’ve cobbled together some ideas from brands including Kitsch, Simons, Aritzia and more to give your gals trip a jump start before you can pull out of the driveway and yell yeehaw.

Vegan, biodegradable and cruelty-free – these shwr. body cleansing sheets are formulated with natural ingredients such as tea tree, willow bark and honeysuckle. While I’m partial to turquoise when it comes to my giant country gemstones, I also heart the subtle, goes-with-everything charm of this 100% silk neck kerchief and bejeweled clasp. I bought the older versions of these portable perfume atomizers about 5 years ago.

And not only do I now never travel without one, I also tuck a spritz-on-the-go into my daily makeup pouch. Okay let’s be real – between magnesium, my HRT, Vitamin D and the ga-jillion other supplements I take, a chic lil case has become a wise investment at 52 yrd old. In the spirit of converting to bars of solid shampoo and conditioner this summer (the transition is happening slower than I had planned), I love the idea of this eco-friendly, 2-compartment Kitsch travel case.

Also fab for soap, razors or any wash kit essentials that you’d like separated and protected. There’s a reason this matching set by PrettyGarden is a #1 bestseller. I’d wear mine with platform clogs or an ivory suede flat ankle boot.

Cozy, summery perfection! I discovered these stretchy little game changers when I began to experience vertigo en piste at Whistler about ten years ago. Simply wear them like bracelets (they never feel too tight) and face the white circular pressure points inwards onto your wrists, for, in my experience, temporary relief from motion sickness.

Already own pj shorts? Pack ‘em. And if you don’t?

I hope you find something as cute as these. The Sweatfleece Boyfriend Lo-Rise Mini Short will look cute with everything from Havaianas and Birks to clogs or trainers.
