"Summer in a bottle, with a side of identity crisis."
Lisbon, Portugal
Vibe: Emotionally fluent, chronically sun-kissed, always leaves with a new friend (or man)
Wine: Vinho Verde or Sauvignon Blanc (aka the backbone of a white sangria)
Tagline: “Develops film like it’s a personality trait, and maybe it is.”
Kit Includes:
Tinned fish snacks
Mesh sequin sandals with a pop of color
Natural SPF stick

Kit Includes:
Pane carasau
Salt-dried curls in a bandana
Wedge of pecorino sardo and a paring knife she swears isn’t a weapon
Local honey and a half-melted chocolate bar in her raffia bag
London, UK
Vibe: Half posh, half pretending; wears Miu Miu loafers but eats Tesco meal deals
Wine: English Sparkling Wine or Chilled Rosé
Tagline: “Walks past pastel townhouses like she owns them and, emotionally, she does.”

Oversized blazer over a tennis skirt
Therapy journal with zero entries

A glass of sparkling wine that looks suspiciously like a gin & tonic
Cigs in a Smythson pouch
Paros, Greece

Striped linen sarong that doubles as a towel, scarf, or curtain
Soft skin courtesy of the DIY clay masks on Kalogeros Beach

Cheap bottle of orange wine from a canal-side bodega
