“They say to ‘dress for the job you want,’” muses the world traveler behind Jetset Christina. “I usually dress for the weather I want.” That translates to breezy dresses that can transition from a beach day to an alfresco dinner, whether she is home or at a resort. The California native moved to Charleston in 2021, and two years later, she and her husband, the founder of resort wear brand Kenny Flowers, opened a flagship King Street store. Haisfield has helped expand the line to include women’s and children’s collections. Most recently, she launched a luxury travel agency to help others book their dream vacations. Here, Haisfield shares what she’s packing for her summer travels.
Q: What’s in your beach bag?
A: Kandeo tinted “Sun Drops” with mineral SPF 50 (left), which is a local business and the absolute best face SPF, a Eugenia Kim hat (right), sunscreen and snacks for my toddlers, a good beach read, and maybe some rosé in a Yeti. The Kandeo “Sun Drops” give that perfect just-back-from-the-beach glow.
Q: Tell us about your summer travel plans and what you’re packing.
A: We’re planning a Spain and Mallorca adventure, as well as a stretch in California to spend time with my family. I’m packing pieces from our Spain-inspired “Valencia” and “Mallorca” collections, of course!
Q: What are some of your favorite local stores?
A: Charleston has the best local businesses, and there are so many I love: Sun Vow Jewelry’s “Reef” earrings are part of a collab with Kenny Flowers; also Rene Barnes, Lowcountry Littles, Pitt Street Kids, and Haley Mathewes Art. I pop into Nellie & Lo in Mount Pleasant for hostess gifts, such candles, napkins, or cute dinnerware.
Q: What’s your favorite way to spend a summer day in Charleston and what will you wear?
A: We are at the beach every second we can get there. I’ll throw on a bikini under our “Riviera” tunic, a hat, and sandals. Easy, breezy, exactly the way summer in the Lowcountry should feel.
Q: How would you describe your style aesthetic?
A: Resort-ready; I like clothes that are pretty, comfortable, high-quality, and fun! I love color; I have trouble dressing in winter. Kenny Flowers shapes a huge part of my closet, and I love mixing our pieces with beautiful jewelry and accessories, such as this Jennifer Behr x Julia Berolzheimer “Malta” necklace (above) and Beek “Palila” sandals.
Q: What must-haves are always in your carry-on bag?
A: Noise-canceling headphones, plus the AirFly Pro by Charleston-based Twelve South. The AirFly connects my AirPods to the in-flight TV, which is so genius. Plus, a good attitude—travel days can be stressful, especially with toddlers in tow, but I really try to stay focused on how excited I am to get where we’re going. My little ones feed off of that positive energy, and it makes the whole day so much better!
