In “Pack With Me,” influencers and editors give us a rundown of their travel must haves and a few travel hacks to go along with them. For this installment, Victoria’s Secret model Taylor Hill tells PS what she packed for a trip to London to shoot the new Dream campaign.
Victoria’s Secret model Taylor Hill, 28, is the perfect person to ask for travel advice ahead of a trip to London, England. While she frequents the destination for work, she also visits for pleasure, having recently attended a beautiful wedding in the English countryside. But this time around, she was on location at Longleat House, the set for the Victoria’s Secret Dream campaign.
Hill describes the property to PS as incredibly unique with stunning surroundings. On the day of the photo shoot, she got an early start on makeup and wardrobe sessions while taking in the scenery. Her favorite look? The black Wicked satin and lace trim slip (worn below), which she loves for its comfortable fit and lace trim for an added touch of elegance.
If you aren’t a supermodel with a stacked agenda, Hill has a long list of leisure time recommendations: cycling in Westbourne Grove and stopping by Daylesford for fresh, organic food; eating at Orange Buffalo Wings in Shoreditch; popping into vintage stores on Brick Lane; and caffeinating at a coffee shop called Hjem in Kensington.
Her biggest piece of advice? Bring a raincoat. “If you’re traveling to London, the first thing to know about the weather is its unpredictability. A raincoat is a must due to frequent showers,” she says. “Packing layers is essential to adapt to sudden changes in temperature. Comfortable, waterproof footwear is recommended for lots of walking. An umbrella and a scarf are also useful accessories. With these essentials, you’ll be ready for London’s ever-changing weather.”
Ahead, she shares 13 different items you’ll find in her magically compact weekender bag every time she heads to London, ranging from relaxing self-care products to handy tech items that help document an adventure. The best part is none of them will set you back more than $150. Scroll to shop Hill’s trustworthy London travel kit from start to finish.
