Lo & Sons Pearl- Photos by Hallie Kathryn Photography
This time of year you can always find me in the snow. Spending the last week in one of my favorite ski destinations, Sun Valley, Idaho, I tried out the new Lo & Sons Pearl crossbody — needless to say I fell in love instantly. With two zipper sides and a middle section that holds just about everything, this purse is brilliant for sleek travel. Even though this crossbody is small, it definitely holds more then you think. From my wallet, sunglasses, docs, lipgloss, hand sanitizer and to other random travel accessories, I could of even fit more. The quality of the leather was awesome, very soft and durable for on the go. It was the perfect travel accessory for this trip and made it easy to be on the go as the week up in Sun Valley had a full schedule.
It was such a great time in Sun Valley and I got to shoot with the talented Hallie Kathryn (all of these photos are by her). We went all through the area and got some incredible shots, it was such a fun time shooting with Hallie and got to learn more about Sun Valley from a local’s perspective – stay tuned for some more of the winter series with her. Thanks to Lo & Sons for this incredible purse, so excited to take it along all of the adventures to come!
P.S. — this purse is on sale right now!

PS — Are You Booking a Trip Soon? Use My Booking Checklist!
These are the sites I use most to book my own trips. Using the links below is a great way to support Bon Traveler’s travel journalism at no extra cost to you. If you need help organizing your itinerary, get my free travel itinerary template here.
1. Book Your Accommodations
I use Booking.com for hotels and Airbnb for vacation rentals. They have the biggest inventory and consistently offer the best rates.
2. Book Your Rental Car
Self-driving is the best way to explore most destinations. I use Discover Cars for our rental cars, select full coverage insurance, and opt for a reputable company like Alamo, Hertz, or Sixt.
3. Book Your Tours & Experiences
I use Viator, Airbnb, and Get Your Guide to find the best tours and experiences. They are my favorite tour search engines. I always check all three as their inventory varies depending on the destination.
4. Book Your Private Transfers
For easy, reliable private transfers, I use Welcome Pickups. It’s my go-to for arranging a driver in advance — whether it’s an airport pickup, a hotel-to-hotel transfer, or a day trip. The experience is seamless, with English-speaking drivers and upfront pricing, so you can travel stress-free at every stage of your trip.
5. Get Cell Data for Your Trip
I use Holafly for international cell data. Their unlimited data eSIMs are easy to install, activate instantly on arrival, and let you skip local SIM cards and expensive roaming fees.
6. Don’t Forget Travel Insurance
I never leave the country without travel insurance. It provides comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong (ie. illness, injury, theft, or cancellations).
My favorite companies that offer the best coverage and rates are:
- World Nomads (best for all-around)
- Safety Wing (best for frequent travelers)
