What to Pack :: Winter Travel Essentials

While some up North might be dreaming of warm sandy beaches and bikinis, there are others who love to travel to cold climates, especially with the promise of beautiful snowy streets and romantic fire light. Maybe you even have a trip planned for the mountains for Valentine’s Day yourself? I have learned through my well weathered Scandinavian friends that there is no such thing as bad weather, just improper clothing, but that doesn’t mean that practical cannot be pretty, too!

Here are some of my favorite Winter Travel Essentials and why you shouldn’t leave home without them::

1. Sparkle Snake Earrings :: I love wearing beautiful jewelry, but scarves can get caught in something dangly, so choose stud earrings that are both practical and beautiful!

2. Isabel Marant Ankle Boot :: While many assume that a cold destination demands a heavy winter boot, I prefer something light and easy to walk in. If you will be in snow I highly recommend these cute and warm snow boots. I love mine because they are so comfortable and lightweight!

3. Eddie Harrop Weekend Bag :: Practical and Pretty things deserve to be carried in this eye catching leather weekend bag!

4. Tom Ford Sunglasses :: Many forget that cold and snowy destinations can also be sunny. Protect your eyes with these super cool shades! (I like to wear mine to keep the wind out of my eyes as well.)

5. Marmot Helsinki Jacket:: Being cute and warm has never been so easy. Marmot offers many great options, both in the US and Europe!

6. Eucerin Ultra Sensitive Soothing Lotion :: We swear by all the Eucerin products and never leave home without their body lotion all year long. We also love the Ultra Sensitive Soothing Lotion for keeping the face soft and moist.

7. Kate Spade Escape the Ordinary Journal :: Whether you are heading to a romantic chalet in the Swiss Alps or plan a quiet visit to a local coffee shop, this journal is the perfect place to record all your favorite memories.

8. Kitmen Keung Long Distance Watch :: I don’t think I have ever wanted a watch so much in my life! This beautiful piece of arm jewelry is meant to help you remember the time difference between you and your loved ones. Seriously. How sweet, romantic, and practical is that!
