Filed under: Shoes, Accessories

The holiday season is officially upon us, and with Christmas, Kwanzaa and New Years on the way, many women will be traveling nonstop for the next few weeks. Holiday travelers can get frustrated just thinking about the problems they will face, from heavy traffic and lost luggage to the dreaded new security pat down. To make your holiday travels bearable, BlackVoices has rounded up the top travel essentials to ensure that you have a stylish and luxurious trip home for the holidays.

Iman's Global Chic Jet, Set, Go! Luxury Luggage Duffle Roller ($89.95, hsn.com)
Leave it to legendary supermodel Iman to create the most chic luggage on the market. This portable duffel combines the practicality of a rolling suitcase with a sexy croco-embossed trim and gold-tone accents. Tote this cute carry-on right onto the plane to avoid those high checked-baggage fees.

Relativity Slim Organizer ($12.98, bonton.com)
Whether you're in the airport or the train station, you'll have to pull out your driver's license, tickets or bank cards several times. Keep them easily accessible in this slim organizer that comes in a variety of colors and patterns to complement any of your purses.

Old Navy Jet Sweater Cardigan ($49.50, oldnavy.com)
The name says it all. The Jetsetter sweater is perfect for airplane travel. It's easy to slide on and off when going through security, and the chunky knit design keeps you warm on a chilly flight. Once you get to your destination, the versatile cardigan can be easily paired with low-key jeans or dressed up with a fun skirt and knee-high boots.

Caintreau Suede Flats by Adrienne Vittadini ($159.99, lordandtaylor.com)
You'll want to slide right into these simply stylish flats on your next trip. The sweet bow-embellished shoes are not only comfortable, they are chic enough to go right from security to the dinner table, and they barely take up any room in your travel bag.

Ted Gibson Travel Essentials Kit ($25, 3 floz.com)
Don't you hate not being able to take all of your beauty favorites with you on the road? Well, 3fl.oz has made it easy to bring along a variety of bath and body products in TSA-approved portable sizes and kits. Even better, they'll ship straight to you or your final destination. Ted Gibson -- hairstylist to stars like Gabrielle Union and Joy Bryant -- is just one of the great brands you'll find on the site.

Avenue Bold Necklace Tunic ($24.90, onestopplus.com)
Packing for an extended stay can be confusing. You want to bring enough outfits to last you, but also want to keep your luggage light. For a variety of options, turn to tunics. You can create endless choices with tunics, which can be worn over tights, jeans, and leggings, or even tucked into a skirt. Grab Avenue's statement-making beaded tunic and start creating outfits on your next trip.

Tili Storage Pouches ($7.49- $8.49, TiliBags.com)
For pretty storage on the go, take Tili, a line of reusable zip-and-seal bags than can store everything from spare change and wet bathing suits to dirty laundry. The funky-colored pouches are a foolproof way to organize backpacks, luggage, purses and more.
