When it comes to travel, I’ve learned how to pack efficiently and make the journey as comfortable as possible. So putting together a gift guide for fellow travelers is a piece of cake. I personally use most (or variations) of the items on the list and have mentioned them over the years in my various travel posts. They’re the essentials that help make a flight and vacation run smoothly.

TODAY ON THE BLOG: GIFTS TO INSPIRE WELLNESS 💛
.
From workout gear to cookbooks and gadgets, anyone who aspires to a healthy lifestyle will appreciate these gifts. I’ve included my favorite leggings, clean cookware, and the food delivery service and ProLon diet kit that have made 2019 my healthiest year in decades. And for the truly health obsessed, wouldn’t the ultimate gift be a ticket to a future @goop #InGoopHealth summit?

It’s that time of year. This week I’m sharing gift guides for a little inspiration on what to give and perhaps add to your own list. ❤️
.
And since holiday parties have already kicked in, I’m starting with a few suggestions on what to bring the hostess. Stock up on favorites and never worry about last-minute scrambling for the perfect gift.🎄🎄🎄 .

Maybe because Thanksgiving falls so late in the month this year, retailers have jumped on sales earlier than ever. If you’re prepped and organized for the holiday on Thursday, then jump online and shop for the best pieces before they’re gone. 🍂
.
Looking for gifts? Look at Carbon 38, ALO and Beyond Yoga for my favorite fitness gear at 30% off. Or take advantage of the ProLon promotion and give a gift of wellness with a FMD Kit. Lots of designer pieces from Net-a-Porter and Matches Fashion have early markdowns too. Boots, bags, and scarves…yes, please!🍁 .

I’ve got my fall packing down to a science. Rotating a few pairs of jeans for day and switching to black for the evening is a formula that’s worked well for me. I bring tees, knitwear, and shirts that are good layered or on their own. Coats and scarves are the best places to add variety so I like to have several for lots of styling options. I can put together tons of looks from these pieces that are versions of my uniform at home. .
Using a fall color palette with a heavy dose of camel and black makes for easy mixing and matching. I’d add a couple of plain tees, gloves, hats and maybe a pair of sneakers, but that’s about it. .
Using my packing system of a carry-on and tote, I’ll still have enough space in my suitcase to bring home new purchases from my travels.

It’s the little things that give us Californians the pleasure of fall style. Pairing a lightweight dress with a tall boot is one. We might have to pass on heavy coats and chunky knits, but we won’t give up our boots. This look from @portermagazine with @elizabethbanks is a good way to go.

Although scented candles are highly personal, I've come across a few that have been met with universal appeal. For anyone that loves an unfussy, warm fragrance void of sweet or floral undertones, the below 10 are winners. Their scent is a little more woodsy, earthy and natural and won't overwhelm a room. I like to keep several on hand for last-minute gifts.
🍁🍂🍁
What’s your favorite scented candle???

The @matchesfashion sale is GOOD!
.
When the seasonal sales roll around, oftentimes it’s the predictable, trendy pieces that get the first mark down. Not the case with @MatchesFashion
.
There are loads of great, classic pieces that were tempting at full price and are even harder to pass up with a discount.

Jackets are my thing. They elevate the simplest outfit like jeans and a tee and add polish when paired with a beautiful pant or skirt. .
Lately, textured tweeds are my obsession. @lagencefashion (wearing) and @veronicabeard make some well priced options. But I’ve got my eye on a gorgeous one from @brockcollection that’s a stunner. .
And then there’s vintage. I’ll soon be sporting the vintage #Adolfo jackets I just picked up at the sale from @_argaux_ and @ccbirdy16 in the chicest styles! Surprised myself how much I love the fit and look of them, especially with jeans! .

One of my new favorite products from @theroutebeauty THE GIRLFRIEND is a hybrid skincare/makeup primer in one - it calms the skin, reduces the look of pores and adds a subtle glow. I'm using it every morning with or without makeup and love it!
