Suitcases

No matter where you’re going, you’re going to need a great suitcase to hold all of your belongings.

Jackets

A versatile, light, jacket is good for almost any destination, as well as potentially cold planes and cars. Go back to basics with the fitted silhouette of the Two By Vince Camuto Jean Jacket ($99.00).

Have your credit cards, boarding passes, and ID’s always at the ready with the beautiful Kate Spade New York iPhone Magnetic Folio Case ($100.00) in black and white leather.

Electronics

The world of electronics is vast. There are an unlimited amount of tools and devices that can be used in order to make your travel easier, faster, and more efficient. However, there are some that may get left in the dust that we want you to reconsider. To hold all of your good, vacation reads, pick up the Kindle PaperWhite from Amazon ($99.99). To cancel out the noise of crying babies, talkative friends, and the nagging of your home life, you’re going to need the Bose Soundsport Free Wireless Headphones ($199.00).
