Since this is always a big issue for me cause I don´t want anything to be broken or spilled I have found some great products over the years which help a lot.
I am by no means a travel expert but these are my tried and true favorites
brush case Jenny Patinkin
This case is like a safe for your brushes. It is pretty hard and you can incorporate it into your luggage wherever you want. It won´t open or break during your travel. There is lots of space so you can easily store about 6 to 10 make-up bruhes. Depends on which ones you are taking. The only downside is that a big fan brush for highlighting won´t fit. It opens and closes easily with snaps. There are also other colors available but I had to stay true to myself and take the pink one.
vanity case River Island
This is by far my favorite vanity case I have ever gotten. I love the color pairing. Has such Japanese vibes. I love that it has two compartments and I love the price. I can put all of my make-up products and face products into it and also my jewelry and there is still space. This piece is a real miracle and I would buy this over and over again. Totally recommend it.
My design is sold out but it is currently available in a beautiful gold print and also in white.
I also got a silver vanity case. It is from a local drug store but I am sure they are available in every bigger drug store. I am using this little case for all of my “wet” products like shower gel, shampoo, body lotions and heat sprays. In case something is leaking it stays in the case and won´t spill over all my clothes. I wouldn´t recommend it for flying unless you are taking it as a carry-on piece. The outer shell isn´t thick enough for surviving the throwing around and the weight of other luggage pieces.
Now I really gotta go and get some work done and also finish packing. View my other travel post here. It is all about the travel gadgets I love using.
Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.
Another look I packed was a pair of shorts and a matching off-the-shoulder top from H&M. The only reason I packed this was because we wanted to go by bike on one day as I am mostly wearing midi dresses I don´t want one to get ruined by hanging in the bicycle chain. The shorts are linen and old but I still love them. The white color matches with everything and the highwaist is great for going by bike. No one wants to uncover his butt.
I paired it with a airy and thin top in red. Might be better if people see me from far away. Not the best biker over here.
Another item I loved packing are culottes. In fact I adore this type of pants a lot. They are easy, versatile, trendy and so comfortable. I packed one in a vibrant and yellow color and another on in black with a mixture between cheetah print and polka dots. Going to get so much use out of them while summer.
Since I am only owning one romper I figured it would be a nice change to wear a jumpsuit out for dinner. I got mine from SheIn and I was so surprised as it came in. It has a nice quality and is super soft. Also it fits perfectly. It is the floral print jumpsuit and for 18 Euro it is a nice change for a dress.
Let´s move on to swimmwear. I needed lots of swimmwear. We usually don´t go to a lake or river to bath in the summer so if we aren´t on a pool/beach vacation (last one is two years ago) I really have no interest in buying swimmwear since I don´t need it.
This year is different. I got several high-waisted bikinis and also bathing suits with matching pareos.
First of all I got the frill polka dot set from South Beacht – polka dots, red and ruffles.Period.
You can buy them separately but I never get single pieces. Top and bottoms.
Next set is from SheIn. White, ruffles and flowers.
Also got a backless tassle tie pompom cover-up from SheIn. The other sarongs I have are from H&M just in different colors.
A black bathing suit is a must in my opinion. Shop mine here. It is from H&M. They have so many different ones it is hard to decide.
Second bathing suit is from SheIn. I got mine in a gorgeous bourdeaux color. Makes the crochet trim pop right out. Am I right?
Other additions to my beach wardrobe are sun hats. Got a simlar one to mine here which says “Chase the sun” and I also bought a new beach tote with the same slogan in rose gold. Love it. I ordered it from Asos but the brand is called South Beach and I love their cool items and also their reasonable prices.
Phew – that was a long one but I am just so excited for our trip. Hopefully the weather will be good.
Thanks for stopping by guys. Take care. See you tomorrow for another #travelthursday post.

Hi guys,
I know it isn´t even official summer and I won´t complain but in these hot and humid days all I am craving is an airy oversized non sticky off- shoulder dress which makes this piece perfect.
It is from the H&M L.O.G.G. section and I love it. Got it in two more colors (navy and white dots and black and white stripes) but I think I like the green one the most.
I paired it really simple. Just put on a pair of white wedges and a pair of white sunnies and a matching bag. Unfortunately the little straw bag is sold out but I think this pretty ring handle bag matches as well.
The gloss I am wearing is from MAC. The Versicolour Stain in Forever Darling. Usually I don´t buy a gloss cause I am still on the matte wave but this one was a gift to another purchase and I love it. It dries really good – not as good as the Retro Lip Stains but for a gloss pretty well – and stays a long time.
Thanks for stopping by guys. After two day I have only 2 work days left. Italy I am coming.
