we’re traveling to zurich this weekend, thanks to swiss and the 25hrs hotel. we’re super excited to discover the city together, as i have only been there on business and for super short periods of time. we now have an entire weekend to explore, and i can’t wait. if you want to follow along, be sure to check out my instagram feed – but i’m sure i’ll be sharing some cool spots on here soon. and if you have any tips for us, i’d love to hear them!

in the meantime, i thought i’d let you take a peek at some of my travel essentials, which are all conveniently sized to fit my new izola pouch. the minute i saw this one, i knew it was made for me. it’s lined with plastic – am i the only one whose shampoo always spills? and its message is clear and appropriate enough. i’m taking some of my favorites with me – the la mer basics i can’t live without anymore, travel size kiehl’s goodies, the marvis tooth paste i picked up in milan and always, always, always lip balm.
