Photo: Real Simple I recently went on a month-long trip to Spain, and let me tell you, packing for such a long trip is not easy. It requires a lot of planning and hoarding of travel toiletries, and since I tend to think about every potential thing that could go wrong, it causes a lot of stress, too. But I found some tech gadgets that helped give me peace of mind, like a personal safety alarm for emergencies and a portable charger to keep my phone ready in any scenario.

Designer dupes are all the rage right now, and it’s not hard to see why: You can get the same look at a fraction of the price. They’re particularly great when it comes to trendy styles that you may want to test out before taking the plunge to purchase a more expensive option. We recently found a Quince purse that looks nearly identical to an extremely popular and on-trend $3,500 Loewe style, yet it’s less than $200. Grab the Quince Italian Leather Patchwork Crossbody for $160 now.

I tend to spend the entire day on the go when I’m traveling. I just got back from a month in Madrid, and basically every day’s itinerary went something like: museum, cathedral, shopping, and copious amounts of walking. When spending almost the whole day out and about, I like to make sure I have everything I could possibly need with me, so I turned to this surprisingly spacious Uniqlo bag. Trust me, you need the $20 purse for your upcoming spring and summer vacations.
