#VANLIFE: No-Nonsense Eve- Glam Villanelle Tips

If AI algorithmic suggestions are replacing  thoughts waaaay to much-hit the road for IRL adventures,

Durable Eve basics (Killing Eve) or  luxury Villanelle items -make life on the road appealing-helping to ditch screens for the novelties of the living.
WITH no dead bodies piling up either.

TIP One: One way to go:

Van Rentals

Tricked out vans are prefect for that blend of predictive posh comfort/transportation-resplendent with elevated basics.
Villanelle(s) who never really lay down roots-in pursuit of ___should spring for the upscale Peace Vans Modern rental fleet-first-of-its kind custom camping vehicles built on the pop top Mercedes Metris or custom Mercedes Sprinters vans.

THINK portable surroundings complete with a curved bamboo interior, propose built kitchen gallery with induction cooktop, sink, large refrigerator, queen size bed, captain's chairs, high thread count linens and more plush Peace Van's special touches.

The same company also rents out rather chic vintage Volkswagon Camper Vans-including the retro 1970s era bus- the classic Vanagon and Eurovan...with $25,000 per vehicle 21st century upgrades and restoration work.

The 411: Peace Vans Rentals has two seasons.  The high season runs from May through September when rates for  Modern Vans run from $245 to $315 per night, and for the vintage Vanagons and Eurovans - $215 per night with a six-night minimum.  

From October through April, Peace Vans Rentals offers a four-night minimum with Modern Vans renting from $215 to $285 per night, and vintage Vanagons and Eurovans are $170 per night.

The Eve Polanski  leaning... driven, practical types-would surely make the investment in one of SylvanSport's cover the basic (but very nifty) haulers that attach to cars. The smaller sized GO Camper dubbed the 'Swiss Army Knife' of trailers would be ideal-it's is fuel efficient-made of  a durable solid aluminum frame with tough high standard cast aluminum wheels, and Dexter Torsion Axles, a Diamond Plate Aluminum Deck-and with easy set-up spacious elevated waterproof seam sealed tents.

TIP Two:

Wardrobe minimums:

Inspired by tiny houses- road trips are perfect for paring down wardrobe options-eliminating the clutter to mobile essentials.

An international fashionista like Villanelle would love the luxurious 100% Merino wool knit separates by Paola Hernandez.
As seen in this video from the recent NYFW- each sumptuous item is versatile, artfully shaped -subtle yet clearly upscale, made of merino wool that's both warm and breathable. Most importantly-the knits are easy to move around in- should any assassin worthy unrestricted offense or defensive physical actions be required.


Our fav-an Eve leaning  multi-tasking jacket by Adidas Outdoors-the Urban Climaproof jacket-that's waterproof wind proof -with a roomy fit  perfect for layering over a puffy winter vest, l/s bulky knits, or a simple tee (or two). It repels any wet weather encountered-a handy attribute while traversing the globe in search of serial killers (or something more tame).
 (hint: unless planning to put a backpack underneath...the relaxed fit is outsized-so take a size smaller than usual)

Avaiable in Legend Ink-a handy dark shade broken up with the brand's  three stripe logo---the Urban Climaproof Rain jacket-is incredibly light and comfortable-with a soft mesh lining. It's a real value at $149- for all that seam sealed wind, rain, snow, sleet-3 seasons worth of protection!!!
 Practicality rules -just like any Eve-type would demand-it has an attached hood that adjusts, the standup collar zips up nice and high-which is great for wind protection-and keeps warm insulation where it should be, inside,  the drop hem is an ideal length-and long enough for road or mountain bikers but not so long as to look sloppy, and the clean minimalist lines- extend to the zipped pocket placements-under a scalloped flap that allows for leg movement when climbing upwards or pedaling forward. Very smart. 
scalloped side







there is a zipped pocket on either side-hits the top of the hip bone...can be accessed from outside or inside the jacket-keeps the contents dry if caught in a downpour. Wipes clean easy...packs small.
