READ MORE A message from our Editorial Director I can't believe spring is here and our first-ever Shop TODAY All Stars bracket is complete. Spring also means it's time for all things travel. I'm about to embark on my first vacation of the year — a cruise! The timing couldn't be better: The Shop TODAY team is reviewing products for our Travel Awards series coming later this month, so I'll be packing some contenders and some tried-and-true favorites (yes, that bestselling packable hat!).   I'm also bookmarking some stories to read while I'm relaxing on the beach, like this one about the resurgence of the color analysis trend, an interview about Guy Fieri's go-to products, and the classic Coach bag that's taking over social media.   As for my suitcase, here's what I'm packing for a 7-day cruise in the Caribbean with my family. Adrianna Brach Editorial Director, Shop TODAY Molerani Summer Dress → This is the perfect spring dress: lightweight fabric, stretchy waistband, pockets and flattering fit. Did I mention it's on sale for under $30? $34.69 Lanzom Wide Brim Straw Panama Roll up Hat → I've owned this packable hat since 2020 and swear by it for any and all travel. It's practically indestructible no matter how I fold it or cram it into my suitcase. Starting at $24.99 $29.99 Zeelool Retro Oval Sunglasses → I love designer sunglasses but I can't be trusted to not misplace them. The next best thing is a pair of luxury-inspired polarized shades. $22.99 Vhitler Crossbody Purse → This mini crossbody bag is the perfect "dressy" bag. It small but fits my wallet, phone and some lip gloss. I also use it to store my sunglasses to save room in my suitcase. $25.99 Huachi Headbands (Pack of 8) → Headbands are my favorite hair accessory, and I prefer the elastic style made of a knit fabric. I use these to dress up an outfit, keep hair out of my face or if I'm having a bad hair day. $16.99 Gillette Venus Extra Smooth On The Go Razor → I always travel with this mini razor, especially since I'll be wearing shorts and dresses all week long. $11.63 One Beat Travel Power Strip → If you're traveling with family like I am, this is a must to keep everyone's phones and devices charged up at all times. Starting at $13.97 Cruise On Luggage Tag Holders → I will do anything to avoid lost luggage, including getting these tag protectors. Everyone I talk to swears by these tags for luggage on a cruise so I'm excited to try these out. $12.99 La Roche-Posay Anthelios Clear Skin Sunscreen → Sunscreen is a must year-round but especially for my tropical vacation. I have been using La Roche Posay's SPF 60 for years and it scored a spot in our Fave Five bracket! $19.99 Neutrogena Makeup Remover Night Calming Cleansing Towelettes → I love a refreshing makeup wipe and I always reach for the night calming version of Neutrogena's. It removes waterproof mascara and liner without irritating my skin. $10.49 $16.79 Rothy's The Essential Tote → People stop me in the airport to ask me about this bag. It's a splurge, but it's so worth it. It's a "buy for life" piece. I use this as my personal item for travel, my work bag, a weekender… it's truly so versatile! $279.00 Birkenstock Arizona EVA → I practically live in these sandals once the warm weather hits and they're perfect for a cruise because they're slip-resistant and waterproof. Plus, they come in fun colors like this blue. $49.95 Copyright © 2024 TODAY | 30 Rockefeller Plaza, New York, NY 10112 MANAGE SUBSCRIPTION | UNSUBSCRIBE | PRIVACY | SEND FEEDBACK
