Beauty and Style Staples For Your Next Quick Getaway

A quick getaway, especially after the war also known as the holidays, is always a most welcome idea. Powering through the rush and chaos of the season can take its toll. There are non stop parties that entail binge eating and drinking. And while it's all fun and merriment during back-to-back festivities, a little peace, quiet and escape could just as well be the best holiday gift you can give mind, body and soul.

Your holiday escape doesn't necessarily mean that you have to cross oceans or adjust time zones. A short drive for a weekend of fresh mountain breeze, or a short flight that leads to immaculate shores is more than enough to get you reinvigorated and revitalized for a new year ahead.

Just as crucial as your destination, are the essentials you want to take with you. When it comes packing for short getaways, precision, functionality and efficiency are key. It pays to have a list of staples in your carry on, regardless of where you're headed. Here, an easy and practical guide to traveling light—and in style!

The Aviator Carry On Plus from Paravel utilizes recycled materials such as zippers and plastic water bottles in building a chic yet durable polycarbonate exterior. Roomy compartments bring ease in organizing and packing items for a trip. While in transit, double spinner wheels ensure effortless maneuvering regardless of terrain. I particularly love sleek design details such as vegan leather trims, steel handles and textured finish.
