The Carry On: September 2020

The Carry On: September 2020

The Carry On is our monthly round-up of our favourite travel
items we’d happily haul from Stansted to Seville, Heathrow to Hydra. Be it a functional
fedora or the latest in skincare science, we’ve probably got it in
our carry on. Riffing on the adage “if you can think it, you can be
it”, we’re saying: “If you can jam it in your carry on… you can
bring it.” Catchy. Note: weight restrictions and other
practicalities do not apply.

Seasonal dressing, light therapy and a home-or-away
projector. Here’s what we’re coveting this month…


Il Pareo Jumpsuit in Rosso

Terry

Serving up serious 70s vibes, Australian label Terry’s retro
poolside attire is the ultimate summer cover-up for days spent by
the water’s edge. You’ll likely spot fellow romper-clad jet-setters
in their Terry Il Pareo jumpsuit everywhere from Positano’s
favourite beach restaurant, Da Adolfo, to the Northern Beaches of
Sydney (from where Terry founders Brigette Clarke and Lucy
Halfpenny hail). The jumpsuit is available in a myriad of colours,
but this hot red version is the perfect addition for those keen to
catch the last of the summer rays. Thanks to its vintage cut –
complete with point collar and side slip pockets – it’s sure to
become a staple of your warm-weather edit for many holidays to
come.

Moisture Cream

EVE LOM

Meeting a host of your skincare needs, this multi-tasking
Moisture Cream by Eve Lom is formulated with an advanced form of
hyaluronic acid that works to hydrate, refine and plump skin. The
result: a dewy, healthy-looking complexion. Peach flower and white
horehound extracts work hard to protect the skin against damaging
effects of pollution and oxidative damage, leaving skin looking
radiant and renewed (#blessed). We’re using this universal cream –
suitable for all skin types and concerns – twice daily (after am/
pm cleansing). The benefits (first clocked by our bathroom mirror
on day three) have now been noted by our mothers via FaceTime.
Powerful stuff.

e-gree app

From a non-disclosure agreement to putting that friendly holiday
wager in writing, e-gree is a new way of making deals official.
With a versatile index of tweakable, written agreements to suit
individual legal needs, users can generate their own written
e-greements quickly and easily. Born from the belief that “everyone
should be able to protect themselves and their interests”, e-gree
offers people an affordable legal toolkit in simple language.
Alleviating misunderstandings, the need for litigation (or even
hiring a lawyer), the app also provides dispute resolution tools to
help users if their e-greements are broken. How will your pals
respond when presented with a dotted line to sign at the holiday
car rental place or at the dinner table after the utterance of
“I’ll get you next time”? All bets are off.

Women’s Tignes Fitness Stretch One-Piece in Navy

Perfect Moment

Founded by extreme sports filmmaker and professional skier
Thierry Donard in 1984, Chamonix-based Perfect Moment specialises
in performance outerwear that combines functionality with fashion.
As it expands beyond its original skiwear offering to encompass
surf, swim and activewear that will outlast the seasons, we’ve
fallen hard for this suitably stylish Tignes one-piece. Cut from
ultra-soft, quick-dry fabrics, the performance garment is ideal for
low-intensity exercise (yogis – start your sun salutations). In our
book, sprinting through the airport counts as exercise too – plus,
you’ll seriously elevate your travel style as you stride past check
in.

Face Toolkit

Face Gym

Can’t get to a Face Gym for your monthly workout? This kit by
skin-guru Inge Theron is a great substitute/ holdover until your
next in-salon session. Tools included: the Facegym Ball designed to
support lymphatic draining, improve muscle tone and release
tension; a gold derma roller to boost collagen production, improve
circulation and increase product absorption; and a beauty restorer
which promotes lymphatic drainage to reduce toxins (pro tip: store
this in the fridge for a maximum soothing potential). Featuring
“cheek stretches” and “jaw definers”, Face Gym’s website and social
channels are a go-to for trainer tips and how-to guides.

Capsule Projector

Nebula

A makeshift cinema in the garden (whether in your own backyard
or relished for the weekend at your holiday rental) is summer
living at its very best. We’re getting set up with the petite
Nebula Capsule projector (it’s about the size of a coke can, making
it easy to transport) and screening a mega HD picture (expanding up
to 100 inches) onto a rustic linen sheet pinched into place with
Neapolitan-ice-cream-hued pegs. It’s very Call Me By Your Name
vibes. Charge for two hours prior to use and then go cable-free for
up to four hours of video play time – whether you want to mirror
your device or use the model’s built-in apps (Netflix included)
immersive 360 audio is guaranteed. Peachy.

Rustic Gingham Dress

Zara

This monochromatic linen-blend mini is spot-on for
summer-to-autumn transitional dressing. With pretty picnic-esque
checks, this black-and-white gingham dress features a straight
neckline and thin straps with adjustable tie fastening at the back.
Slip on for brunch, park days and everything in between, or toughen
up the pattern with a black cardigan and slick leather booties when
the thermometer begins to drop.

Power Mask & Light Therapy Device

UFO 2

Has masking become something of a weekly ritual? Same. Looking
to rev things up a gear, we’re supercharging the impact of our
pamper sessions (condensing a 20-minute session into a neat 90
seconds) and giving our sheet masks an upgrade with UFO 2’s Power
Mask & Light Therapy Device. With T-Sonic™ facial massaging
(which relaxes muscles for enhanced absorption) and eight LED-light
therapy options (including antibacterial blue light and
sunburn-soothing yellow), it tackles your beauty bugbears without
the need for a trip to the spa. Novices should make use of the
device’s customisable settings by first trialling the pre-loaded
in-app guided routines before branching out on their own.
