Packing Up: What’s in My Summer Suitcase

Every Summer, I spend a few weeks in the South of France, enjoying laid-back afternoons and evenings with friends and family. Here, the essentials I tossed in my travel bag for our latest trip to Provence:

1. Lacoste polos. These classic shirts are part of my Summer uniform. I pack no less than three different colors in my bag.

2. Bathing suit from Russo Capri.  I love the beautiful fabrics. They dry quickly and are not common.

3. Nike Free Run sneakers. I go for a 5-mile run at least 3 times a week, and these are super lightweight and comfortable.

4. Canon PowerShot S100. I take it everywhere and am always snapping shots of the scenery, anything that inspires me and, of course, the kids.

5. Clarins SPF 30. I don’t step outside without it.
