With a four-day President's weekend coming up, I hope that you are going on a very enjoyable and relaxing vacation. It's always nice to have a long weekend, but it is magnificent to pair that weekend with a fabulous trip with the family.
Whether you are flying or driving to your destination, we have the list of the must-haves to bring for your personal travel set for Spring 2011.

A large tote to bring in the car or on the plane with you is a must, because you can easily put many items all conveniently in one place. I love this DVF tote for its black and white palm tree leaf design. Plus, DVF provided a key ring with it!
Diane von Furstenberg Mariela Printed Tote, $195.

This true red cosmetic case pops by the DVF tote! The quilting on the exterior is feminine, and there are two zippered compartments. Don't forget to put your preferred brand of loose powder, lipstick, blotting papers, face moisturizer, mints, and a small rollerball perfume in the case! 

Kate Spade Marivaux Cosmetic Case, on sale $66.50 at Bloomingdales. 

Refresh your skin from the stale air provided by the plane or car. This is one of my favorite scents, and I love the matching perfume. Throw this fresh floral hand lotion into your cosmetic case! 

LoLLIA 'In Love' Shea Butter Hand Creme, $24.

Cashmere is so luxurious, and I love this blanket travel set by Sofia Cashmere. The set includes a big cashmere blanket, an eye-mask, and if you bring a small pillow, put it in the zip case (otherwise, use the included case to store the blanket and eye-mask when not in use). 

Sofia Cashmere 3-Pc. Travel Set, $300. 

In your bag, include your favorite scarf! If you arrive later in the day, you might be happy to wrap yourself in a scarf. My favorite scarf is Nordstrom's Cashmere Tissue Weight Scarf for $98. 

Plus, remember a book to read in the car, at the airport, or by the beach!

And never ever forget a favorite pair of sunglasses. Currently, my favorite pair is Marc by Marc Jacobs Vintage Inspired Oversized Sunglasses for $98.

Enjoy your vacation! - J
