You know those finds that are just all-around game changers? The ones that make you go: Wow, how did I ever live without this? Well, I’ve had that "wow" moment with the same $25 Amazon buy two separate times—once when I initially got it, and a second time when I realized I should always pack it in my vacation suitcase.

If you're wondering what it is, it's my beloved mini yet mighty steamer. Small enough to store in a drawer or pack in a carry-on yet strong enough to get the wrinkles out of pretty much anything, this incapable ironer underwent a serious style upgrade when she started steaming everything (and with ease, might I add?).

Even better, I never have to pay to have things pressed when I go on work trips or to destination weddings—I can simply do it myself. To see the steamer (which, by the way, has four stars and almost 4000 reviews on Amazon) for yourself, and to shop my favorite vacation-ready pieces for the season, continue on below.

Editor-at-Large

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2020, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch 90 Day Fiancé.
