How I pack, by Gala González

“Whenever I’m traveling, I always try to optimize my suitcase space. I believe you don’t need more than the standard baggage allowance. It’s all about coordinating outfits, mixing tops with skirts and jeans so that you can create as many looks as possible with a small amount of clothes. Of course, there’s also the business of swimwear; it has its own rules because you can pack as much as you want – in my opinion you can never have too many bikinis. Overall, I choose items that aren’t going to be too heavy, are easy to fold and iron, and that color-coordinate with the rest of my suitcase.”

“I pretty much like to wear the same things during the day as on a night out. By day, I wear jeans or a mini dress with comfortable shoes that will allow me to dance later on. I’m in love with the printed Loewe x Paula’s Ibiza dress – it’s the perfect 24/7 dress to wear for a beachside meal at 1pm and then to some golden-hour cocktails with friends. I also couldn’t travel without my Zimmermann strapless dress. It adds a cool, sexy touch to my vacation wardrobe and is super-easy to pack as it’s so light. Staud shoes were also one of my must-haves on this trip, with their avant-garde design and a perfect heel height that goes with any look.”

“I never feel fully dressed without a linen blazer on vacation, and I always make sure I have my watch, wallet and a little cashmere sweater for the plane. When it comes to skincare, I take my Augustinus Bader moisturizer all around the world, and I couldn’t travel without my Charlotte Tilbury Hot Lips lipstick – I love to use it as blusher on my cheeks and on my eyelids for an extra-glossy shine. The 111 Skin face masks are great for refreshing your skin before you get off a long-distance flight. And finally, I always pack the Joanna Czech Facial Massager, which I keep in the fridge and put in my bag just before going to the airport.”
