Bodrum, Turkey.

Where are you going this summer?

I will be traveling to the Hamptons and Cape Cod regularly this summer to get away from the city heat. And then I’m getting married on the Cape in August.

What's one thing everyone should pack?

A great summer cover up and flat sandals that can transition from beach to cocktails. My favorites are my Chanel grosgrain and chain leather thongs and my Milly white crochet dress!

Sunscreen.

What's your dream summer destination?

I am longing to go to Israel, the amazing history and events that have shaped our world is something I would love to see. I would visit Tiberius in the north to see the Sea of Galilee, Jordan River etc. Also Jerusalem (old city, Wailing Wall, etc.), Tel Aviv (love to see the city and the beaches there), desert region Negev, Haifa and Bethlehem in the West Bank (now Palestine).

Another reason I would love to be in the Middle East is to experience the incredible natural elements such as the salts from the Dead Sea, and the clay used in the mountain regions and the mineral springs. The region's unique natural wonders have always intrigued me.

I would also take two trips while there, one to Petra in Jordan (one of the 7 Wonders of the World) and one into Egypt for a few days. I would love to see the pyramids, Mount Sinai etc. In Jordan, there is an incredible spa at the Kempinski Hotel with mineral falls from natural cliffs right into the spa. It's set on the Dead Sea where you can see the sunset over Jerusalem.

Where are you going this summer?

London and then the countryside. It's home, nothing too exciting. I'm going to try and take a long weekend either in Barcelona or Prague. I love Barcelona and I've never been to Prague, it looks beautiful!

What's one thing everyone should pack?

Organic sunblock / moisturizer with SPF and water always. Well, that's two things sorry!

Kasia Bilinski, designer of IMITATION

What's your dream summer destination?

A secluded beach on the Costa de Sol in Spain, or Cuenca which is a beautiful province in Spain.

Where are you going this summer?

I actually took my summer vacation earlier in April this year and went to Australia.

What's one thing everyone should pack?

A good basic tank, loosely fitted, slouchy, comfortable and versatile.

Jen Menchaca, designer of NATION LTD

What's your dream summer destination?

I'd be happy standing on the 405 freeway with David Beckham during rush hour as a summer vacation. If he's not available, then I'd choose the Concordia Eco-Tents in St. John with my wiener dogs.

Where are you going this summer?

I'm heading to Texas for a while to eat more beef than any human should. After that, I will head out to Vegas for Project, then to Denver to squeeze my sweet niece, and then New York for Coterie! If I need a beach fix, I will sit on the beach right here in sunny L.A.

What's one thing everyone should pack?

Cell phone chargers (and a white Nation LTD V-neck).

Kathleen Lewis, founder of KATHLEEN LEWIS

What's your dream summer destination?

I would love to spend the summer in Ojai, California! Biking, hiking, spa-ing and meditating on Meditation Mount.

Where are you going this summer?

I have to appear for jury duty. If I end up on a case it will be all I can do to keep up with work much less go anywhere!

What's one thing everyone should pack?

My Vitamin Cream! It is a rich antioxidant treatment cream that enlivens skin weary from travel, airplanes and the sun.

Andrew Goetz, co-founder of MALIN + GOETZ

What's your dream summer destination?

My dream Summer destination is the Amalfi Coast; Positano in particular. Capri is high up on the list as well. It's one of the most beautiful places I've ever been.

Where are you going this summer?

Time being what it is, and living off a third world currency, we'll be vacationing a bit closer to home. Matthew and I take Bob and Junior up to Provincetown in Cape Cod for a week. It's absolutely beautiful as well—although the cooking can't be compared to the Amalfi Coast. Nevertheless, we really love it, as do the dogs and it's great to be out of New York and in beautiful New England. So no complaints!

What's one thing everyone should pack?

Being in the skin care business we would have to say SPF! It's hard to narrow it down to one thing--but if you do--we never leave home without our SPF 30.

Matthew Malin, co-founder of MALIN + GOETZ

What's your dream summer destination?

We have a family house in upstate New York in the country that we have visited maybe a total of ten times (national holidays) since our business began four years ago (we often spend the weekends working in NYC). It is on a pond and surrounded by acres of untouched wooded land. If we could dedicate all of our weekends there, drinking beer and barbequing, I would consider that a dream come true.

Where are you going this summer?

Our third, dedicated, one week vacation in four years will be to a beautiful old house that we are renting, for the second time, in Provincetown, Massachusetts. The ocean-front park there is one of the most spectacular of any I know. We take our dogs and really relax.

What's one thing everyone should pack?

Sunscreen. As the whitest of white—suffering from rosacea—it is truly essential for me. Ours is an oil free, water resistant and non-irritating SPF 30. Perfect.
