Happy Friday and welcome to the Fab Favorites Link Up! This month I’m doing lots of travel for work and when packing my suitcases (yes, there are multiple suitcases), it always makes me realize the style staples every woman needs in her closet. But it’s not just for travel, it’s for normal everyday life too – from a great white top, to a perfect clear-crystal statement necklace, black patent heels, stylish skinny jeans, a tailored blazer (J.Crew on sale, under $100) and a chic leather handbag.
Oh and of course, a long-wearing color rich lipstick goes a long way for instant glam! These staples are the basics you need to mix and match, creating outfits that are timeless and always stylish. What are your fashion must-haves for easy, effortless style that looks perfectly polished?
Travel Style – Fashion Must Haves: Crystal Necklace | YSL Lipstick #19 Fuchsia in Rage | J.Crew Blazer (on sale, under $100!) | J.Crew Chiffon White Top | Pave Stud Earring Set | J.Brand Dark Denim Jeans | Michael Kors Patent Heels (the comfiest heels I own, you could run in these!) | Marc by Marc Jacobs Handbag (this is the bag I’ve carried almost every day for three years, it’s the best!)

Love the J. Crew blazer!
Always great inspiration. The necklace is gorgeous! Thanks for hosting!! Have a great weekend!
I could not agree more with your picks being staples. It’s amazing how packing makes you narrow down to only what you must have. Hope your traveling is going well!

Hi Lauren, Love the choices. I have to slow down my purchases, but have gotten some steals from Poshmark and Ebay. Now I will take a break. BUT I love the color of the lipstick and the staple piece of the blazer. Have a great weekend
