A quick weekend escape has a way of resetting everything. Stepping away from the usual routine – even just for a couple of days – brings a sense of ease that‘s hard to find at home. Whether it‘s the mountains, a small town, or a cozy spa resort, a little planning makes the getaway feel even more effortless.

If you want a little inspiration, check out my Weekend Getaway post where I share one of our recent mountain trips.
Here are a few of my go-to essentials that I always pack. From chick outfits to a little comfort that make a short trip feel special.
Travel Look
Comfortable but polished is the key. Think soft knits, tailored trousers, a long coat and a scarf. Add sunglasses and a structured tote, and you are ready for a road trip or train ride without sacrificing style.

Evening Outfit
Even a weekend away deserves a moment to dress up a little. I usually pack something simple but elegant. A midi dress, boots or heels, a pair of statement earrings. Perfect for a relaxed dinner at a local restaurant or a glass of wine by the fire.

Cozy Layers
Early mornings and evenings can get chilly, so I always bring a chunky sweater, warm socks and a light jacket. These pieces make it easy to transition between a walk outside and curling up with a glass of wine later.

Little Luxuries
A getaway doesn‘t need much, but a few small touches make it feel special:

- A bottle of wine to enjoy in the room or on the balcon
- A book or magazine for slow mornings
- Mini skincare or perfume to keep things light but cozy
I love packing a crisp white or a sparkling bottle. Something easy to open at sunset after a long day of exploring.

Closing Thoughts
Weekend trips don’t have to be complicated. A few well-chosen pieces, some layers and a good bottle of wine are often all it takes. It‘s about slowing down, soaking in new surroundings, and making space for small, beautiful moments.
