I Spend My Summer Weekends Escaping the City, and These 35 Items Come With Me
As summer comes to a close, I realize I spent most of my weekends away from New York City, which is out of the norm as I usually love a good summer weekend in the city. Things have slowed down, the city empties out a bit, and it's the perfect time to do all of those New York things you've put off doing, like planning a day in Central Park with friends or finally trying that restaurant in Brooklyn you've always wanted to go to. But this summer, I packed my bags and headed to the Hamptons almost every weekend in July.
I spent my weekends eating delicious food at the quaint yet ultra-chic Marram Resort in Montauk, followed by a day split between the beach and the pool (the hotel's pool overlooks the beach). Then I'd lather up with all the Le Labo products stocked in the hotel room before scurrying off to dinner at Scarpetta Beach at Gurneys Resorts. I went to my first music festival in West Hampton and danced with my friends all night at the Surf Lodge. I have to say, my summer of weekends away hasn't been too shabby.
Through all my chic weekend getaways, there were 35 items I made sure to take with me every time. From my holy-grail concealer to dresses that took me from brunch to a beach bonfire, there are certain items I can't travel without, and this summer was a testament to that.
Keep scrolling to see the 35 items I'd never go anywhere without.
My favorite concealer of all time. I never travel anywhere without it.
A rib-knit dress is perfect for traveling since it doesn't wrinkle easily and still looks super dressy and chic.
A good under-eye mask can help you look refreshed while traveling.
If you haven't tried these panties, you're missing out. These are perfect.
You can't pack for a weekend away in the summer without a good pair of linen shorts. These come in so many different colors and patterns. The opportunities are endless.
A Loveshackfancy dress is always a good idea when heading out east. There's a good chance you'll see a few on your weekend trip.
