My top travel-related picks from the NSale!
Hey friends! It’s Maria here. I just dropped a video all about my top travel deals and recommendations from this year’s Nordstrom Anniversary Sale—and I wanted to share the full story right here.
If you’re a traveler like me, whether you’re packing for a weekend city break, a six-week adventure, or somewhere in between, these deals are perfect for stylish, smart travel. I talk all about hard-shell luggage, comfy shoes, beautiful scarves, and travel-friendly beauty—Mostly things I personally own and love. Let’s jump in!
Why I Love Hard-Shell Luggage
I’m a big fan of hard-shell luggage—let me tell you why. When I was going to Paris during a bedbug scare, they recommended hard-shell bags over soft-shell to avoid the risk. I’ve been hooked ever since. Hard-shell keeps you worry-free! Plus, it cleans easily, so you can spray or wipe it down after travel with a Magic Eraser.
🧳 Béis Collection – Under $300 in the Sale
My Current Béis Gear in Atlas Pink
- 29″ check‑in roller
- 22″ expandable carry‑on roller (my favorite!)
- Expandable backpack
These are well-used, with only light scuffs—but the organization and color still look cute. Check out my Béis Luggage Review here.
On Sale Now in Lavender Color:
- Lavender duffel bag (similar to my commuter backpack): rain-resistant, easy to clean, and very organized.
- 22″ expandable carry‑on roller: waterproof pocket, compression straps, and a removable compression pad—great for pajamas or undies in flat sections.
- 29″ expandable check‑in: perfect for long trips (we have a six-week adventure coming), or if you buy extras while traveling.
Love the lavender? This year’s color is soft and stylish. And bonus—it’s a real treat to get matching luggage without paying full price. If you’ve been curious about Béis, now’s your moment to start your collection!
✈️ Tumi – Built to Last
My husband and I are Tumi fans for life—this brand is top-notch.
What I Have:
- Convertible purse/backpack: stylish with great internal space.
- Tumi luggage with built-in tracker: super durable with power port, crush-resistant shell, and nifty tracking number.
On Sale Now:
- Tote bag: lots of helpful pockets and holds up beautifully over time.
- Rosé nylon backpack: versatile and roomy—perfect as a personal-item or everyday day bag.
- International Spinner Expandable (hard-shell): I love the shape, plus it fits the carry-on size.
- 30″ expandable spinner with tracer: a smart pick for long trips and peace-of-mind tracking.
- Larger Nordstrom-exclusive backpack: well organized, includes an RFID luggage tag.
🧣 Cashmere Scarves
I love these cashmere scarves in beautiful colors to change your outfits up a bit.
My Favorites:
- Lightweight gray + white cashmere: textured and breezy.
- Nordstrom pink sepia cashmere (80″x28″): not too long, perfect for wrapping or draping on a purse.
- Nordstrom ombré cashmere (30″): elegant ombré look—adds instant polish to any outfit.
Scarves are versatile and can do so much—extra warmth, styling, bag accents… I’m obsessed with pink, but they come in lots of colors.
👟 Travel Shoes: Sneakers, Sandals, Slides
On Cloud “Cloud Five Coast”
These are my main travel sneakers. Lightweight, comfy, great tread—even for golf or hiking. Bonus: they double as slides, so you can slip them on quickly between coffee runs and airport security.
Vionic Supportive Shoes
Vionic is all about foot health. I love their sandals (great arch support) and sneakers. I especially like the metallic sandals—they feel dressier and fun to travel in. Wear them day-to-night for dinners or long strolls.
SOFT Slip-On Sneakers
No laces. Good arch and cushioning. These feel more polished and work well with linen or summer outfits.
ROTH Mary‑Jane Flats
Soft, stretchy, sparkly, and flexible. A size up is perfect to avoid swelling hazards. Easy to walk in and can hold custom insoles. I’m torn between lace-ups, these Mary‑Janes, or flats—but all are worthy travel options.
It’s so important to have comfortable shoes when you travel. Check out this blog post I did about The Most Comfortable Sneakers for Travel. Of course they work well for everyday too!
🧥 Tops + Layers for any Trip
Vince Camuto Silky Tops
These are travel MVPs:
- Lightweight, wrinkle-resistant silky fabric
- Collared + 3/4 sleeve top in deep wine color
- Sleeveless pleated V‑neck tanks in light pink, black, cowl, etc.
They pack flat, dry quickly, and look effortless—from airport to sightseeing.
🧴 Beauty + Travel Skincare
Augustinus Bader “The Rich Cream” + Eye Creams
Luxury skincare essentials. I got big sizes—perfect for covering dry skin mid-flight, on long trips, or for overnight hydration.
Kopari Travel-Size Favorites
Great sunscreen and moisturizer that smell divine—easy to pop into toiletries bag.
Tangle Teezer
My go-to brush—no knotted hair after travel. Compact and easy to pack.
Hey, it’s #BeautyThatTravels!
Coola Sunscreen
My husband and I both love their SPF 30 sunscreen for golf, boating, and vacation! I bought 2 of the 2 packs!
👜 Bags That Travel Well
Nordstrom Brigitte Crossbody
Spacious inside with room for phone, keys, cards, and a bit more. Has RFID lining, plus phone slot and zip pockets. I’ll swap out colors to go with different trips—choices are black/gold or beige.
Matching Tank/Bralette Combo
There’s a coordinating bralette for last year’s tank tops—Pima cotton, same straps, perfect layering without showing bra straps. Genius and comfy!
Commando Boy Shorts
Great under short dresses. Breathable and protective without overheating.
Adjustable Hats & Panama Caps
Sun and rain protection in one. Cap options are wool/leather or twill. Panama hats are fun for summer travel—protection that looks cute!
😎 Sunglasses That Work Everywhere
Tom Ford sunnies are gorgeous and classic. Even if I don’t grab them every year, I usually bring layered magnetic sunnies for day-to-night use. Nordstrom has key styles in Seline and Tom Ford on sale now—easy to mix with your existing glasses.
