Winter weather has us dreaming of warmer days ahead!
We could all use a little travel inspiration this time of year. So, we asked some of our favorite fashion influencers about their top destinations.
See what’s on their must-have packing lists and how they’re styling Helen Jon resort wear on their trips!

Desirèe D’Aloia

Favorite destination? Greece, without a doubt. There’s something magical about Greece’s stunning landscapes, the deep blue sea, and the warmth of the people. I’m drawn to the history, the incredible cuisine, and the relaxed pace of life.
Packing must-haves? A good book, versatile pair of sunglasses, high-quality sunscreen, and a wide-brim hat. Accessories like some simple gold jewelry elevate any outfit while keeping things effortless. Also, a compact travel journal has been my favorite addition lately to jot down memories and inspirations on the go.

Desiree radiates old world glamour in our Twist Bandeau One-Piece. This style pairs nicely with our Kendall Crochet Dress in navy for a pool to bar look.

Favorite destination? I enjoy returning to the Turks and Caicos Islands for its culture, food, and beautiful water views. I began traveling there in the early 2000s. A hidden gem destination for me would be the south of France and a detailed tour of one of their vineyards.
Packing must-haves? Bathing suit, sunscreen (Sonrei - Sea Clearly SPF 50), packable Lululemon crossbody (to hold my phone and earbuds), lip balm, sunglasses, and hand sanitizer.

Favorite destination? I always return to Ibiza. It’s a magical island with a variety of things to do. You can party during the day or at night, swim in beautiful quiet beaches in the north to get away from it all, and the food is always amazing! Formentera is also stunning for the day — the water is like the Caribbean.
Packing must-haves? Nude wedges (or a color to go with all outfits), sunscreen (Nars tinted moisturizer with SPF is my favorite), bright lipstick, sunglasses, and a notebook and pen. I’m a songwriter and love to doodle ideas on the plane and beach!

Favorite destination? The beach. I’m a California girl and love any beach destination. I just visited Máncora, Peru. Máncora is a hidden gem, boasting the most beautiful beaches, epic waves, and incredible sunsets!
Packing must-haves? A large sun hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, and a cover-up. First, don’t just wear your cover-ups at the beach. Style them with outfits, too! Second, pack accessories you can wear in multiple ways.
