Andrea's It List: 7 key travel essentials for fashion month

Whether the sun makes an appearance or not this fashion month, you'll usually find me in my classic embellished Chanel shades. I opt for a simple black frame and square shape, which is versatile enough to work with all my outfits and gives me optimum coverage when the inevitable shadows appear in under my eyes at the end of the month.

When it comes to valuables, I like to travel light. The next few weeks will involve multiple handbag changes and many different hotels in different cities. This stylish, slim lightweight wallet is perfect for my day-to-day essentials..

During hectic days when I'm rushing between shows, meetings and dinners, I need a compact day-to-night bag that is big enough to hold my make-up essentials, plus a bottle of water and my show tickets. This chic studded bag by Khaite is a real statement piece.

When I'm travelling for work, I relish those brief moments of quiet to get into a podcast while waiting around for the Eurostar or sitting on the plane - but only if I've got my noise-cancelling headphones with me. These classic blue tooth Beats Studio 3 are my favourite as they totally block out all sound and look good, too.

My skin always needs extra moisture at this time of year, particularly when I'm travelling. One beauty product always in my bag is this rich all-purpose hand nail and body cream. It also doubles up as my fragrance when I'm on the go as it's scented with fragrant notes of J'adore - the perfect pick me up between shows.

This month, I'll be mostly touching up my makeup on the go. I've been wearing this Guerlain bronzer for years. When I'm looking tired, a sweep of this instantly gives my cheeks a healthy glow and my face a lift.
