Shopping Roundup
Pack up in style with our must-have travel accessories. By Christene Barberich & Marjon Carlos

At this time of year, we're packing and unpacking our bags more often than Coco Rocha during campaign season. But instead of blindly throwing together a mish-mash of bits from your closet, we've assembled a little fail-safe check-list for getting you from here to there in top form.
Among our must-have jet-setting necessities: The functional-but-still-glamorous trench (Mike + Chris and Burberry save the day!), a versatile carry-on, generous enough for stashing your back-up pile of British Vogues, the perfect travel dress that works on its own or over a slim pair of jeans, and plenty of other portable picks to help replace the stress of travel with plenty of style instead.
