I’m headed to San Miguel de Allende tomorrow for five days and I can hardly wait to escape the cool weather we’ve been having here in Santa Barbara. Since it’s a press trip to a new boutique hotel, Hotel Matilda, I’ll have a full schedule of touring the town, dining, tequila tasting, shopping the markets and visiting the spa. While I plan on bringing my favorite warm weather pieces (like this dress, and these sandals) and my most comfortable Bensimon tennies for long hours of walking, here are a few other necessities I’d like to toss in my bag.

1. Thakoon Printed Silk Dress $530

2. Gucci Sunglasses $295

3. Melissa Odabash Panama Straw Hat $110

4. Kain Striped Jersey Sweater $130

5. Topshop Pleated Dress $78

6. Kendall Conrad Playera Bag $850

7. TopShop Sandals $180

8. Lomography Fisheye Camera $75

9. Bobbi Brown Lip Balm SPF 15 $17

10. Essie California Coral $7

11. Chloe Ankle Strap Sandals $495

12. La Mer SPF 30 UV Protection $65
