What’s In Anastasia’s Summer Bag
Summer travel season is in full swing, and Anastasia knows a thing or two about travel tips and essentials. Whether it’s a weekend getaway to Rosewood in Montecito or an extended stay abroad, she’s all about preparation, organization and, of course, looking and feeling your best. Read on to find out what’s in her bag for summer. Outfit Planning, Head to Toe “The real secret to effortless summer style? Planning ahead. A few days before I travel, I put together outfits for upcoming events. I take photos of each complete look—shoes, jewelry, scarves included—so I’m not scrambling once I arrive. Trust me, when you’re running late for a dinner or beachside cocktail party, having your outfits ready is a lifesaver.” Everything Has Its Place “Organization is key when packing. I use separate bags for makeup, shoes, clothes, and accessories. It makes unpacking a breeze and ensures I can find what I need without turning my bag or hotel room into chaos.” Statement Sunglasses "Sunglasses are non-negotiable, and I always bring a few options to match different outfits and moods. I’m obsessed with high-quality frames—Tom Ford, Gentle Monster, DITA, and my current favorite: Leisure Society, made in Japan with exquisite craftsmanship. A great pair can elevate even a simple sundress.” Comfortable, Stylish Shoes “I’m loyal to what works, and Saint Laurent makes the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn. I pack a mix of sandals and heels, and when I find a pair I love, I buy them in multiples. Summer style should never mean sacrificing comfort.” Sun Protection & Glow “A good sunblock is essential, and I swear by ABH Hydra Prime and Toty—they keep my skin protected but also hydrated. I also keep ABH Shimmer Body Oil on hand for those golden-hour moments when you want your skin to catch the light just right.” Hats & Scarves "Hats can be both practical and glamorous. I rotate between my Maison Michel (a Chanel-owned brand), a burgundy floppy hat, and a playful Gucci beach hat. I’m also completely obsessed with scarves—they’re the most versatile accessory in my wardrobe. Wear them around your neck, on your bag, or in your hair—instant polish.”
