What She's Packing: Natalie Obradovich

Last week we caught up with travel photographer Natalie Obradovich for tips on which beach clubs to check out as the warmer months roll in. Since she’s perfected the art of summering, we also had her curate a packing list filled with pieces as striking as the Italian coastline. Whether you’re bound for Da Adolfo or Lido del Faro, limoncello colored bikinis and a Tyrrhenian tinted cover up will give your wardrobe an update sweeter than a Negroni Sbagliato.

 

The Cover Up:

These are my favorite beach coverups - you can fit them in a tiny suitcase and they look good with everything!

The Suit:

I'm digging yellow this season and love these two options!

 

The Shades:

Something on trend. I love the look of these sunglasses.

The Sandals:

One of my closest friends from university started this collection and these sandals are a classic for an evening stroll to dinner or all day at the beach club.

The Bag:

A little less practical than some of my other options, but you can't go wrong with this tote.

The Hat:

I only wear Panama hats (these suit me the best) and typically destroy one by the end of every trip when I shoot - so it’s important that it’s affordable. I love this one because it even has SPF.

SPF (Body):

I love a good oil/ sunscreen situation. I tend to stick to SPF15 in climates where I don't burn as much for a nice golden glow.

SPF (FACE):

I wear this every day rain, shine, snow. My wise mother taught me the importance of protecting your face and neck from a young age. Along with a hat and sunglasses, I'm good to go!

Happy packing, Explorers.
