With one week left until I embark on my wedding/honeymoon, I wanted to share with you some of my favorite travel essentials.  Hopefully, you can share some of yours with me too!

I have one very serious travel rule no matter where I’m going: leave the luxury at home.  I’ve forgotten fancy tops. I’ve broken designer sunglasses. I even lost an expensive bracelet in a rental car.  I learned my lesson.  Now I only travel with the basics, lest anything happens.  However, this often becomes a problem, especially when you’re a fashion fiend.

Luckily I was able to find some affordable and fashionable pieces at Target.  Above we have the Xhilaration Extreme Cateye in milky olive.  Believe me, they do not look like $15 sunnies.  I was a little unsure at first, but they are unique, pretty funky, and give me some Coco Rocha cheekbones, which is always good.

Then I found the Mossimo Poeske flat. It’s similar to the DV by Dolce Vita Archer, but less than half the price.  I already hate spending money on sandals, because they only last a season, so I was more than ok to dish out $15 for these babies.

So tell me, do you also stick to budget accessories for travel?
