I’m infamously known for overpacking. For the (most fabulous) 40th celebration, also in St. Barts last year, I was the only person out of roughly 40 that didn’t carry on. This meant for all the small, tedious transits required to get there, I was always in a different line or process. Everyone just waited, staring at me, shaking their heads. I’m used to it.
It was a joke then, it will be a joke this week. Mostly because - this dress as a case in point - I never wear 75% of what I pack. But I have grand fantasies of wearing them all.
Maybe this trip will be the one that turns it around. The plan, at least here, is a fancy but beachy vibe via Johanna Ortiz (opens in new tab). (Bag via Gucci Garden (opens in new tab))
The accessories plan: More is more here, of course, and there are certainly only a few places I feel I can pull off this type of head piece situation. (Shoes, Gabriela Hearst (opens in new tab) (x Roger Clergerie); Earrings, Rebecca De Ravenel (opens in new tab); Necklace, Lizzie Fortunato (opens in new tab); Bag, Hermes (opens in new tab).)
My daughter is in a Cocomelon phase and all I can think when I see this is, “hey hey, it’s KK.” If you know, you know. (Monogram Charlotte in yellow, Monogram Brooklyn in Green, Retro Stripe Pajama Set, Animal Kingdom Pajama Set)
I’ve always been an Alexis (opens in new tab) fan because of their amazing textures. Packing this dress for a date night.
I love a scarf that I can wear on a plane, but then as a pareo. (Scarf, Hermes (opens in new tab); Hat, Monogram Mary (opens in new tab). Suits left to right: Tory Burch (opens in new tab), Solid and Striped (opens in new tab))
