Secret Cart Vol. 42

Our upcoming trip to Gstaad has me shopping for sporty pieces that are stylish enough to reach for again. Technical shorts, a lightweight anorak with a tapered waist, and sneakers work without feeling too specific for hiking. Everything has to hold up to the long walk and the weather changes from morning to afternoon, but it looks good when we stop for lunch in the village.

My progress held a faithful finishing touch that left me feeling much better at the end of our summer trip. Plush socks for full days on my feet, eyeshadow brushes to keep my skin hydrated, an upgraded water bottle, and a phone strap for hands-free days. The smaller things you pack, the smarter the second the trip goes.

For the girls, I do the same with their small suitcases. A sneaker I knew they would love, a light jacket, and colorful scrunchies to keep their hair back. Useful pieces made fun!
