Summer is officially here and with that comes some of our favourite things—cocktails, vacays and live music (virtual gigs still absolutely count because… 2020).
The hardest part about said getaway? Figuring out what to pack—and trying to stay under that seven kilo hand luggage limit (seriously, it’s a legit skill).
We caught up with one of our favourite musos, Tkay Maidza, to scope out the seven must-have items she’s popping in her suitcase and honestly, we’re making a shopping list and copying the lot.
#1 Nintendo Switch
I love having this handy to play games whenever I feel like disconnecting in a different way.

#2 Yves Saint Laurent Black Emporium
I feel like this perfume will protect me at all costs, always.

#3 Platform Dr. Martens

I mean, they’re an essential for going out.
