Two things that go hand-in-hand this summer: Silk scarves and trips to Greece, according to Club member Vasiliki Prestidge.
What’s your essential summer purchase—and why do you love it?
My new Happy Hour Robe—it takes me from chilling in the house to the pool and to cocktails by the sea. I love a versatile piece that’s both functional and elegant: Throw it over your pajamas, swimsuit, or long silk trousers and you’ve got yourself one chic look, wherever you are. My go-to solution for light travel!
What’s a beauty product that everybody should get their hands on—and why?
I can’t stop using N.Y.M.P.H Body Drip shimmering dry oil by Huda Beauty. It smells divine and gives flawless, supple, glowing summer skin. And get your hands on the Dior lip maximizer in bronzed glow for full, plump lips primed to bite into a nectarine while sunbathing on a beach in Mykonos.
What’s a place you love to visit—and how do you spend your time there?
Athens, Greece because from there you can go anywhere: from Astir and Matsuhisa along the Athens Riviera to jumping on a plane or ferry to Mykonos, Santorini, or a nearer escape like Kea island for the weekend. You can also stay central and lounge around one of the many rooftop pools with mesmerizing Acropolis views, chill in one of the endless open-air cinemas, or catch a late-night bite with live music. Add guaranteed sunshine all around—what’s not to like?!
What’s the one summer shoe you can’t recommend enough?
The Apli Eleftheria in platinum from Ancient Greek Sandals. I’ve had my pair for over four years, and they are so comfortable! They have taken me from Santorini hikes and wine-tasting in Peloponnesian vineyards to city walks and dancing at beach parties from sunset to dawn. They go with everything, and elevate your look in seconds!
What’s one accessory you can’t do without—and why?
Any large, square, silk scarf. It can work as a beach cover, a shoulder shawl, or a head scarf (for that night when you get whisked away in a convertible or yacht). This is a guaranteed way to keep your hair intact while making some summer memories!
