Books We’re Obsessed With & Travel Must-Haves We Actually Use
aka what’s in our carry-ons while we’re out here being glam on the go…
We’re currently packing our bags for Vegas (catch us glam but comfy at 30,000 feet) and figured it was the perfect time to drop our fave reads and travel accessories—the things we actually use when we’re on the road or stuck in the airport praying for no gate changes.
If you’re into good stories, cozy gadgets, and pretending you’re a main character in Terminal C, this list is for you.

📚 Books We’re Low-Key Devouring Right Now

📖 Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens

📖 Atomic Habits by James Clear
Okay, self-help girlies, this one’s for you. It’s not woo-woo. It’s “how to get your sh*t together even while living out of a suitcase.”

📖 Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros
Enemies, dragons, forced proximity, and just the right amount of chaos. This book grabs you by the throat (emotionally) and does not let go. Read it on the plane, but don’t blame us when you forget to blink.

🧳 The Suitcase That Turns Heads at Baggage Claim
This ROAMING zipperless hard-shell stunner is giving secure, sleek, and “main character at customs” energy. It’s lightweight, spins like a dream, and those three TSA locks? Chef’s kiss. We love her in Dark Night Green, but honestly, she’d slay in any color.

🧳 Wrapping It Up Like Our Toiletries in a TSA Bag
Books = our escape. Travel gadgets = our sanity. These are the things that make every trip a little smoother, comfier, and more us.
We’re probably reading one of these while we wait to board, wearing sweat sets and plotting our next snack stop.
