Lessons in Packing
7 years ago by
I’d like to think I’ve got packing for summer vacations down pat. Until I find myself frantically unprepared 10 minutes before I need to leave and suddenly I’ve included 5 additional items I’ve never actually worn but somehow decided this would be the perfect moment to give them a whirl.
I’ve realized the only way to become an expert in this field was to see exactly what Ilona packs for her summer getaways. She is truly a classicist and embodies everything her swimwear brand (Matteau) and magazine (Unconditional) strive for: a less-is-more sensibility and simple, timeless way of dressing. She was kind enough to give us a full run down of her travel essentials, carry-on only.
Such great inspiration for packing!
Encore une fois je suis fan de la présentation de ce type de posts, c’est canon !
Je me retrouve pas mal dans plusieurs de ces essentiels de voyage en particulier les K.Jacques et une bonne paire d’Havaianas qui sont pour moi de vrais incontournables :)
Des bisous !

She mentions jewelry and a chanel bag for “evenings out.” So otherwise she goes naked? I don’t think she is including everything she brings in this story.
Hi there!
I totally see what you are saying.
Although, Ilona’s approach to packing for a summer vacation is very simplistic and takes on an essentialist approach. During our chat with her, she told us that on evenings out she will wear a silk, sleeveless Equipment shirt with the jeans or denim shorts she mentioned in the post. Her way of dressing that up is with the jewelry and Chanel bag. But, maybe she could go naked too? Who knows! ;)

Also want to know where the necklace is from! I have been looking for something just like that.
Can you please, dear GD team, come with a full list of the products pictured
