IVY Vacay Essentials: The Ultimate Packing Guide ✈️

Planning your next getaway? We’ve got you. Whether you're jetting off to the tropics or sneaking in a weekend escape, this is your ultimate Ivy-approved packing guide—carry-on, luggage, and beach bag included.

Carry-On Cutie

Your carry-on is your travel ride-or-die. It’s where you keep the things that keep you comfy, connected, and cute from the moment you board. Think plush eye masks, lip balm, and a matching bikini just in case your luggage plays games. We always toss in our Aster in Pink Bikini — delicate, romantic, and ready to make a statement the second you land.

Pro tip: always keep your skincare minis and journal close. Nothing says main character like a fully curated carry-on.

Checked Luggage Luxe

Checked bags are where the real magic happens. This is where we pack our skin rituals, cozy pajamas, cute shoes, and yes, more bikinis (because you’re never bringing just one). Our current obsession? The Lani in Cherry — a sweet, lace style that pops perfectly against sunkissed skin. From your go-to hoodie for post-sunset chill to the body wash that smells like vacation, every piece in your suitcase should feel intentional, luxe, and totally you.

Your beach bag is the real MVP—from sunrise dips to midday lounging, it holds everything you need to float through the day in style. Toss in your oversized sunnies, hydrating mist, a juicy read, and all the SPF. But the hero piece? Our Douceur Rose bikini — romantic, feminine, and totally swoon-worthy. With its delicate lace details and flattering fit, it’s made to turn heads (and capture content). Whether you’re chasing waves or just basking under the sun, this bikini belongs in your bag and on your feed.
