Summer is in full swing and chances are, you’re soon going on the vacation you’ve been looking forward to for quite a while. Whether you’re heading out on a solo camping trip or hitting the beach with friends, we’re here to help you pack. Read on for our recommendations or book a session with a personal stylist to get personalized picks!
Beach Bound
If you’re heading to the coast, you’ll want to pack options that will take you effortlessly from lounging by the water to happy hour with an umbrella in your drink.
The Fern High Rise Shorts are easy to throw on over a swimsuit as you head to the beach or for an afternoon tossing a frisbee. When it’s time for dinner, pair those shorts with the Uma Bardot Top and your favorite pair of wedges for a night out on the town.
For an instantly chic outfit without the effort, opt for the Ivy Romper! This romper also goes over a swimsuit by day and can be paired with heels and statement earrings (we love the Mezi Studs!) for a laid back look.
Chaya Top and Ny Shorts, Cream
If you love a pop of color, the Chaya Top and Ny Shorts are for you. Mix up the colors, or go for the same color top and bottom for a polished ensemble!
The Mountain Escape
While the summer heats up, it’s tempting to look for slightly cooler temps and escape to the mountains. Here are our favorite lightweight, yet cozy options for your mountain retreat.
Curl up and read a book in a hammock in the cotton Billie Trousers, which look amazing with the Sunday Dolman Tee for a forestry vibe, or pair with a loose boxy shirt, like the Billie Box Top.
Classic Cotton Leggings, Khaki
In the afternoon head out kayaking on a cool lake in the Classic Cotton Leggings and Austen Top. If the sun is out, swap the leggings for the Laney French Terry Shorts.
Get a roaring fire going in the evening so you can roast marshmallows and make s’mores in the Quilted Sweatshirt and Willow Joggers.

City-Chic
If your plans include a big city getaway, you’ll need to be prepared for a myriad of activities and lots of walking so make sure to bring comfy shoes that pair with these styles!
Get ready for some yummy brunching in the city in the Summer Sonnet Dress. Complete the ensemble with the Emily Bag and Oasis Studs.
The Billie Backpack is a must as you explore sites from historic landmarks to museums. This backpack carries everything from guidebooks to snacks.
A full day of exploring means you’ll need to be comfortable while looking put-together, so a classic pair of jeans is worth the suitcase space. Opt for the timeless Scarlet Mid Rise Slim Jeans, which will pair perfectly with the Margie Blouse and your favorite pair of sneakers or walking-friendly sandals.

International Adventure
The most experienced jet-setter will tell you that packing pieces that coordinate with each other ensures you pack light and save space for souvenirs! Take a look at our capsule wardrobe post for inspiration or try these outfits out for your international holiday:
While a pair of dark wash jeans are great for international travel, never snooze on a maxi skirt! They’re comfy for long plane rides and give you an effortless “dress up” option for an evening out. The Maxi Skirt will pair with just about any top, but we love it with the Nuon Top or the Rhea Rib Top.

The Nicole Bodysuit also looks fantastic underneath the Chaya Dress for a casual day of exploring new places and eating new foods. Later, ditch the top and wear just the dress for a nice evening out, maybe to see a local music performance!

When traveling abroad, opt for bags that offer convenience and easy access to your passport and travel essentials, like the Cruza Sling Belt Bag or the Luna Bag. The Jewelry Box is a very travel-friendly way of keeping your favorite jewelry pieces organized and tangle-free!
Summer Staycation
If you’re staying home this summer, there’s no reason you can’t give yourself a little vacation from the comfort of your home! Prep your home with an extra cleaning and make it inviting with fresh flowers and a lit candle, so it feels like you’re stepping into your very own AirBnB.
Sea Jumpsuit, Lapis
Throw on the Sea Jumpsuit and get to know the town you call home a bit better! Take yourself out to a new restaurant for lunch and splurge on adding avocado to anything and everything. Glam up a bit by adding the Pearl Choker Necklace and your favorite pair of heels.
Nolan Pant, Tide Pool
Put your phone on Do Not Disturb for a full day and sleep in late! Lounge in comfort in the Nolan Pant and Cotton Print Tee all day, while you add whipped cream to your coffee and binge that true crime tv show you’ve been meaning to catch up on, or sit and read an entire book in a day.
Throw on the Lea Striped Dress and jump in the car for a day trip to a nearby town that you’ve been wanting to explore. Pack all your favorite road trip “must-haves” in the Rosa Tote and you’re set for a day of fun!
