Ditch: Your Beat-Up Black Suitcase
"Travel is very important to me—as are the accessories that come along for the trip. My ideal weekend destination is Montauk or Nantucket with my best girlfriends, seersucker suits and classic luggage in tow!"
Ditch: Your Teeny Weeny Bikini
"Scalloped swimwear and a wicker, crab clutch? I can't resist these quintessentially summer details."
Ditch: Your Ubiquitous Sweats
"I have a different pair of shorts for almost every day of summer but high-waisted skinny jeans are a classic for traveling in comfort. My friend has the most incredible denim line @industrystandardny—I haven't tried other jeans since wearing these."
Ditch: Your Too-High Heels
"I have a weakness for shoes—I can't be alone on this one. I plan to wear these double-chambray flats all day, every day come sandal season."
Ditch: Your High School PJs
"Classic striped pajamas, a tropical candle and soft lace underthings are my essentials for a relaxed summer evening at home."
