What I Packed + Wore in French Polynesia

Happy Friday, friends, and cheers to the weekend!! Between my sister’s wedding in Montana, our anniversary trip to French Polynesia, and the long holiday weekend celebrating our son’s (and America’s!) birthday, my inbox and To-Do List are overflowing! My only plans are to catch up on life!

Oh yeah, and I’ll be busy prepping for next week’s exciting sales… the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and Amazon’s Prime Day!!! Having the year’s biggest sales from our two favorite retailers overlap isn’t ideal, but you know I’ll round up the best of the best to make for easy shopping, so make plans to check in every day next week. If you aren’t a subscriber, now is a good time since the best deals always sell out fast, so make sure you’re signed up HERE.

I know y’all have lots of questions about our trip to Taha’a and Bora Bora, and I promise I’ll detail the trip, our hotels, the travel…everything! But I know many of you have summer trips sooner than later, so today I’m sharing the vacation styles I packed and wore! Spoiler alert: I lived in swimsuits!

As far as packing, you know it was the carry-on life for me! Thanks to these packing cubes and these clear travel bags, it all easily fit in my trusty Calpak carry-on and duffle bag!

These are some of my essentials I made sure to have on-hand for the long-haul flights to help me arrive looking and feeling better than I felt!

Plane Essentials

I always pack fairly minimal when it comes to makeup and skincare, but I realized halfway through the trip these were pretty much the only products I reached for (along with a razor and hair mask that was in the shower)!

Skincare & Makeup Essentials

And of course I wore my go-to Vuori faves for a comfy flight outfit!

Sunset Tee (XS) | Performance Joggers (Small) | ON Cloud Sneakers | Jean Jacket (Small) (code CASSIE15) | Rolling Suitcase | Carry-on Duffle Bag | Straw Hat (code SUGARPLUM10)
