I'm Traveling To India & The Maldives For 10 Days & Here's What's In My Bag

Let's be honest: Apple's iPhone XR is the real deal. The XR takes incredible pictures, so you know your travel selfies will consistently slay. It's also splash and water-resistant, which is great for traveling (especially in the Maldives, where I'm going to be completely surrounded by water).

A statement hat is a must. This straw one from Lack Of Color is perfect for trips to warm places, because it won't feel too heavy on your head and looks great in pics. I love the neutral straw color, and the leather terracotta-colored band gives it a little bit more of a statement.

I knew I needed to plan conservatively when it came to clothing. I grabbed a few new pieces that fit the bill. I fell in love with this dress from Lulus when I saw it because, to me, it screams "tropical vacation." On me, the slit in the leg doesn't come up too high, so it will just allow some breeze to flow through the dress. I love how loose and flowy it is, and the print is simple and chic.

Every beachy trip calls for a flowy sundress. I love the bohemian style of this dress, from the tiered skirt to the tassels. I can picture this dress looking perfect on the beach, with a swimsuit underneath and the crystal-clear water in the background.

These sandals have gone all over the world with me, through rain, mud, and many walking excursions, and they are still going strong. I love that the tan color is pretty close to my skin tone so they work as my "nude shoe" option, and they even kind of match the band on my straw hat. (Outfits come together in the details, you know?) Even though they're very flat, they're surprisingly comfortable, even when you're walking a lot throughout the day.

I absolutely cannot live without lip balm — especially at the beach. This one has been a lifesaver recently. The cannabis oil in the formula is really soothing for chapped lips. Shea, cocoa, and mango butters help with texture and softening.

I rely on sheet masks while I travel, so multipack boxes are always my go-to. I really love these masks from Snow Fox, which help soothe, plump, and brighten the skin with Japanese cherry blossom, white tea extract, and hyaluronic acid. Anytime I use these masks, my skin feels smoother and looks bouncy and fresh, which is perfect for combatting tired travel skin.

Traveling can leave my under eyes looking dark, and I see a visible difference when I use this cream regularly. It's extremely hydrating, which is great both when I use it by itself and under my makeup.

No travel skincare routine is complete without a good moisturizer, and this one from Tatcha is the absolute best. I like that it's formulated as a gel cream, so it's hydrating without feeling heavy on the skin — perfect for trips to warmer climates — and it works for all skin types (including my very dry skin). Plus, it's packed full of Japanese superfoods to help protect against the elements.

The Nudies Tinted Blur Stick provides a perfectly lightweight base for my makeup. Not only does the Tinted Blur even out my skin tone, but the coco and green tea emollients hydrate my skin while I'm wearing the makeup.
