getaway goods

 

So how exactly am I always able to fit my medley of vacation dresses, cover-ups, bikinis, exercise gear, sandals, sneakers, and so forth into my usual carry-on suitcase? Easy. I only pack styles that straddle the day-to-night gap: ones that can be worn with beachy essentials (i.e., swimsuit, flip flops) and concrete-ready extras (elegant sandals, both high and low). For my impending summer getaways, however, I must confess I recently got a huge assist from the style wizards over at Bergdorf Goodman. I am not exaggerating when I say they curated the most perfect packing list--as in I literally want to buy every single piece. Except they all won't fit into my carry-on! So, here's what I whittled it down to. For me and for you! 

 

1. Jonathan Simkhai cut-out maxi dress (above)

2. Loeffler Randall beaded lace-up sandals (last pic, under $200!)

3. Tove bow-front dress (easy, breezy, endlessly versatile)

3. Rhode embroidered crop top (pictured below) and matching skirt

4. Rhode linen wide-leg pants (perfect for traveling/tourist-ing)

5. Johanna Ortiz bodysuit (I'd lay out by the pool in it too)

6. Ulla Johnson puff- v-neck cover-up

7. Valentino chic-but-comfy sandals

8. Veronica Beard one-piece swimsuit (doubles as a top!)

9. La Double J silk print day-to-night maxi

10. Loewe ruffled raffia shoulder bag (punctuates any outfit) or this less-pricey cutie by Arnaz
