Andrea's It-List: I'm planning a European getaway—6 holy-grail items in my carry-on

If you’re in the market for a new cabin case, this distinctive bottle green beauty by Antler is hands down the best I’ve found and won't get lost at the airport. I was constantly replacing my cases before I discovered this one which is definitely built to last.

My hat of choice for summer breaks is the visor. It's effective enough to block out the sun while being cool enough to wear for the day without messing up my hair. I love this lightweight version with high-performance woven fabric to prevent sweating.

I always travel with this versatile and super soft Skims maxi dress. A key summer staple, it’s comfy enough to wear for the flight with a hoodie then swap for an open white shirt and my silver birkenstocks to go straight out for lunch when I land. I’ll often dress it up with gold hoop earrings and heels for the evening too.

I’m a firm believer that a quick run around a city or coast is the best way to explore when I’m away, so I always pack my trusty On Cloud running shoes and my favourite Lululemon shorts. They are lightweight, quick drying and look equally good with my bikini or this tank top for walks along the beach. A quality pair of trainers is the best investment I've made.

A good summer tote for me needs to move seamlessly between packed city commutes on the tube, weekend shopping trips and mediterranean beaches. This pretty but practical Paravel Cabana bag combines a sturdy leather base and water resistant interior made from seven upcycled water bottles.

I never travel without my key beauty essentials including Kerastase hair oil to keep my hair nourished and glossy, my favourite La Roche Posay sun cream and this gorgeous body shimmer for nights out. Heat and humidity are no match with these holy-grail products.
