I feel like there are 2 types of packers:
1) The last minute packer who throws things in the suitcase without too much worry – until reaching the destination and discovering key things have been left behind.
2) The over-thinker packer who plans out pieces weeks before while still stressing if they have the right pieces.
So…which are you? I fall into category #2 and I’m secretly envious of #1 🥰
Right now, I’m deep in the planning phase for an upcoming tropical escape to the stunning Seychelles. And because I know firsthand how stressful packing can be, I’ve created a curated travel capsule that takes the guesswork out of it—filled with colorful, comfortable, and confidence-boosting essentials to make your getaway feel effortless and chic.
Whether you’re a spontaneous #1 or a meticulous #2, this thoughtful edit ensures you can simplify your suitcase without sacrificing style.🌞

✈️ Travel Day Style: Comfort Meets Chic
Let’s talk about the travel day outfit. Getting to Seychelles is no short journey—it’s a super long-haul flight situation, and comfort is key. But that doesn’t mean style goes out the window. I’m wearing a new pair of amazing wide-leg jeans—they’re soft, breathable, and polished enough to hold their own at any airport lounge. I cut the bottoms of these jeans so they work well with these Nike sneakers (because you always have to be prepared to speed-walk or sometimes sprint between gates), a soft tee, and topped it all with a tailored blazer. It’s a simple look that’s both elevated and effortless—perfect for staying comfortable and pulled together from wheels up to wheels down. Add a carry-on bag and oversized sunnies, and you’re officially the most stylish traveler in the international Terminal. 😉
💃 Light, Bright & Breezy: Packing Colorful Staples
When it comes to vacation style, less is truly more—especially in a tropical place like the Seychelles. So, I’m packing lightweight, colorful pieces that make a statement without taking up space. Think flowy dresses in bold hues, breezy cover-ups that double as beach-to-lunch layers, and matching sets that offer effortless outfit combos with zero styling stress. These pieces don’t just save room in your suitcase—they also take the guesswork out of getting dressed each day. I love how a pop of color instantly lifts the mood and captures that joyful, island spirit. It’s all about choosing pieces that are playful, packable, and endlessly mix-and-matchable. 🌺
👙 Swimwear That Works and Wows
Swimwear is one of those must-pack categories where variety is key. I’m bringing a few fun bikinis for those laid-back moments by the pool, plus a couple of sleek, flattering one-piece swimsuits that double as bodysuits under flowy pants or shorts. These one-pieces are perfect for more active adventures—whether it’s swimming, snorkeling, or just a beach walk at golden hour. I always look for suits with a bit of structure and support that make me feel confident and comfortable. The goal? Pieces that let you move freely, lounge beautifully, and soak up every sun-soaked moment in style. 🌞🌊
👡 Shoes & Accessories: Curated, Chic & Carry-On Friendly
When it comes to shoes and accessories, I’ve learned that curation is key. When packing for Seychelles, I’ve narrowed it down to just the essentials—versatile, chic, and occasion-ready. For day-to-day exploring and beach strolls, I’m packing a couple of stylish sandals that are both walkable and wardrobe-friendly. I’ve added a wedge and a sleek heel for those dressier nights under the stars—because a little lift can go a long way. And since travel days and active outings call for comfort, I’m bringing one pair of sneakers (sporty so I can exercise). Accessory-wise, I’m obsessed with my Prada tote—it’s spacious enough for beach essentials and will lay completely flat in your suitcase. The quality is unmatched (for a beach tote) and it’s quite durable to withstand the wear-and-tear of travel. For evening dinners, I’m carrying a chic clutch that adds just the right touch of polish. And of course, no travel wardrobe is complete without a few bold, statement jewelry pieces and accessories—think fun hoops, a sleek cuff, or a chic sun hat. They’re lightweight, easy to pack, and instantly transform even the simplest look into something special. 👜✨
