I'm Traveling to NYC—39 Pieces in My Spring Packing List
Later this month, I'm spending a few weeks in New York City, so I'm already planning out my NYC packing list. I'm based in L.A. and my current wardrobe revolves heavily around staples like straight-leg jeans, sneakers, and button-downs. I'm planning to pack many of my go-to basics, but will also be adding in more layering pieces that are primed for the spring weather.
Ahead, I'm highlighting some of the pieces I'm eyeing to add to my suitcase. I've included some pieces straight from my closet, including versatile cashmere sweaters, leather jackets, sunglasses, and jewelry. I've also included some new finds that are currently sitting in my cart that I'm considering investing in—everything from platform boots and oversize bomber jackets to sleek skirts and Prada's new-season wedge heels. Here, shop the 39 pieces in my spring NYC packing list that are inspiring what I add to my suitcase in the coming month.

I own these in gray and can confirm that the fit is top-notch. Now I want them in beige.
I own the high-tops, but now want to add the low-tops into my closet.

I can't get enough of these wide-chain necklaces that were just launched by Monica Vinader.
Skims just dropped a vintage tee collection and the palette is so good.
