Throughout August, we’ll be shining a light on your summer style. Here’s how Vogue Club member Karen Armstrong is spending the season—and what’s in her suitcase…
What’s your essential summer purchase—and why do you love it?
I’m forever planning sun-kissed escapades, and the summer staples to take with me! Romantic, flowy dresses and timeless sandals are my summer must-haves: I love that I can wear them at home or on a beach getaway. I’m the founder and creative director of Atelier Ancestro, a luxury handcrafted leather-sandal label, and have always loved the carefree spirit that summer brings.
Where’s a place you love to visit—and what makes it special to you?
I’m always dreaming of island-hopping in Croatia—I love the Excelsior Hotel in Dubrovnik—or having miles of beach to myself as I soak up the sleepy vibes of Sisal in the Yucatán Peninsula.
What’s your favorite swimwear—and the beach where you’ll be wearing it?
My summer suitcase is always stocked with Zimmerman and PatBO swimsuits: I love mixing up my two-pieces. I’m traveling to Puerto Escondido for the first time next week and I’m already planning my poolside looks (but I also save space in my luggage for local finds)!
