I just need to take a second to brag... I literally work for the best beauty company a person can work for. Giorgio Armani not only has more beautiful products, but dang, do they know how to pamper and spoil its team! Twice a year, the company brings together all of its #armaniacs in a beautiful hotel to go over all of its newest products and share sucesses. So yeah, I am one lucky lady.

This year, I decided to take a few days off before summit, and enjoy LA sun with two of my Armani sisters. I really needed these few days of laughter and adventures. We ate great food, had delicious drinks, haggled our way through shopping and really made great memories. Thank goodness for camera phones to record these awesome times.

What does a Seattle-living gal wear to the land of sun and models? Well, let me tell you, I tried to keep it simple with my favorite staple items. I kept it to one carry-on and of course one bag filled with makeup and hair supplies. Here are some of my favorite simple travel pieces that are easy to toss in your bag and throw together to look stylish and chic.

High Waisted Black Maxi Skirt

70's Style Button Up Collar Top

Black and White Dress

Faux Leather Motorcycle Jacket

Feather Grey Booties

Quay Sunnies On the Prowl

Brixton Hat

Of course, there was fancy business clothes for my meetings, but keeping it light and simple on my days off. What is your must have travel pieces? How do you keep it to one carry on? Share your best traveling tips in the comments below.
