Passport to summer style
The countdown is officially on. I am leaving for Nantucket in less than four weeks and my packing panic has already set in. On top of my basics—Ralph Lauren swimsuit, J.Crew T-shirts, Milly sundress and Michael Kors woven tote bag—I know that my bags will also be stuffed to the gills with every lotion and label in my closet.
Ah…the art of packing. When it comes to travel, men have it easy. Either they take along the bare minimum with several recycling options (like my boyfriend) or they simply forget to pack the obvious like pyjamas, toothbrush or shoes (like my dad). For women, this crisis would be worthy of a mini-meltdown, but men simply soldier on, wearing square-toed eyesores purchased from the hotel gift shop. Problem solvers? Yes. Fashion plates? No.
Whether you are a country girl heading to Aix-en-Provence, a city girl living it up in New York, a beach girl soaking up the rays in Cape Cod or a party girl jetting to Barcelona, dream-worthy destinations are sure to inspire your own list of summer essentials. Bon voyage!
