As editor of the popular travel blog, TripStyler.com, Trish Friesen jaunts around the globe on all sorts of getaways.  But the Canadian’s most frequent destination is Whistler Resort (voted the #1 Ski Resort To Stay And Play by Conde Nast Traveler). Less than a two-hour drive from Trish’s hometown of Vancouver, Whistler has 4 distinct seasons — and Trish has experience packing for each of them!

As a self-proclaimed reformed over-packer, she manages to pack in a carry-on bag for every trip—including the time she spent 3 weeks in Australia.  She says, “packing light takes a little longer to think of pieces that will multiply your outfits and do double-duty at the outset, but when it means less time packing/unpacking and waiting at the airport, and more time at the pool, it’s worth it!”  This is a sentiment I totally agree with, of course, which is just one of the reasons I’m so excited to share some of her secret packing tips and must-have items with you here today.  Totally practical, slightly preppy, and always put-together, Trish is a true packing pro!  Her favorite travel products include:

• Claire Vivier La Tropezienne bag $320
• Merona 1-Piece, $35 and Mossimo Bikini top and bottom $23 each
• Penn Championship tennis balls $5.33
• Burberry Giant Check Guaze Scarf $325
• Vaseline Petroleum Jelly $3.29
• Longchamp Le pilage handbag $118
