What I’m Packing… in My Antler Cabin Suitcase
My approach to packing is minimal and effective. Pieces I know can work in a variety of settings, from the small streets of Napoli to a big city where I am walking 30,000 steps a day such as London. Some of my essentials include:
• Of course… a durable and chic suitcase. My go-to is the Antler Expandable Cabin Suitcase. I detest a suitcase that can't expand. I love knowing I have about 2-3 inches of room to work with when I've hit the vintage jackpot at a Sunday flea market.
• A TMD makeup bag that holds all my essentials, plus the 20+ new matchboxes I always return home with.
• As much as I appreciate a chic makeup bag or pouch, I need something durable that's going to hold all of my products. I love Antler's Hanging Wash Bag which fits essentially my entire beauty cabinet. It washes incredibly well, too, for the occasional liquid spill.
• A dependable sneaker is an essential for me. I walked roughly 20K steps a day for two weeks in my Jacquemus x Nike Moon sneakers without any issues (or blisters).
• Especially for summer, I love a pair of chic sunglasses that can take me from day to night. Lately, the Khaite x Oliver Peoples 1967C have been my go-to's. As I always lose the case my sunglasses come in, I absolutely love Antler's Leather Sunglasses Case and always keep one in my bag!
The Best of Where I’ve Been (So Far) in 2026
Grays Antiques · London
Grays Antiques, London
I recently discovered Grays Antiques and went back twice during a week in London. It's the most incredible sanctuary of antique sellers who curate gorgeous jewelry and watches. I specifically love Spectrum Antiques, a stand run by a mother and her son. They have hundreds of little gold charms, from letters to objects and more. My new favorite activity in London is making an antique charm necklace!
Pandora Dress Agency · London
Pandora Dress Agency, London
I am convinced this is where the absolute chicest women in London sell their clothes. Pandora has the most amazing variety of vintage, ranging from 80s-era Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche to the best selection of archival Chanel, and so much more. It’s one of my absolute favorite vintage shops in London that flies fairly under the radar. Amazing bag selection as well!
Le Cabinet de Porcelaine · Paris
La Cabinet de Porcelaine, Paris
I think a part of getting older is a sudden interest in obscure hobbies like—for me—collecting porcelain flowers. This interest began when I walked into Le Cabinet de Porcelaine in Paris, which sells lifelike, handmade, and hand-painted flowers made out of porcelain. Each flower is created in Limoges, France and the shop is the most special and beautiful experience.
Illisa's Vintage Lingerie · Manhattan
Illisa's Vintage Lingerie, New York
This store is an experience like no other. The owner, Illisa, is a New York City native and has curated the most incredible collection of vintage and antique silk dresses. It's a sea of silk pastels hand-mended and ironed by Illisa herself. Stylists, designers, and costume teams from film and television regularly visit in search of inspiration and one-of-a-kind finds. An experience like no other.
G.Benevento snc Venezia · Venice
G.Benevento, Venice
I stumbled upon this shop in the first five minutes of my first visit to Venice, and it was the highlight of my trip. It showcases the finest Italian cottons and undergarments, including pieces from Oscalito, while preserving the craftsmanship and artistry for which Venice is renowned. Across the street from the sleepwear shop, they have a second store which has tassels of all sorts, trimmings, fabrics, and gorgeous Venetian slippers made from silk brocade. Definitely a must-visit in Venice!
My Wishlist for the Rest of 2026
Locanda Sospesa · Porto Ercole
Locanda Sospesa, Tuscany
I just spent a few days in Tuscany and every interior I came across blew me away—the interior design there is simply impeccable. My only regret was that we should have spent more time in Tuscany. Locanda Sospesa is giving me a reason to go back! It's the most gorgeous, regal hotel located in the tiny village of Pereta in Maremma.
Fundació Miró Mallorca · Palma
Fundació Miró, Mallorca
I've never been to Mallorca, but the images of Joan Miró's studio alone make me want to book a trip immediately. Miró is one of my favorite artists, and how special is it that you can visit the actual studio where he lived, worked, and produced his most famous works of art for almost 30 years?
Airelles Saint-Tropez, Château de la Messardière · Saint Tropez
Airelles Saint-Tropez, Château de la Messardière, Saint-Tropez
This hotel looks like heaven tucked away in Saint-Tropez. I love a gorgeous hotel that’s centrally located yet a little ways away from the commotion (that Saint-Tropez can definitely have). It looks like a White Lotus episode (which it will be—parts of season four were filmed there).
Eltham Palace · London
Eltham Palace and Gardens, London
I keep seeing this gorgeous palace pop up across my socials. It looks like the most stunning Art Deco mansion located just a stone’s throw from London, once owned by the eccentric millionaires Stephen and Virginia Courtauld. It’s definitely on my must-visit list for my next trip to London.
Atelier Brancusi · Paris
Atelier Brancusi, Paris
You can spend ages in Paris, but no amount of time will ever be enough to properly explore all the beauty within it. High on my list for my next visit is Atelier Brancusi, another place that offers a glimpse into the world of an artist that I greatly admire. Unfortunately it might be on my wishlist for a while, as it’s currently closed for renovations.
