A summer getaway wardrobe is hard to beat; between fabulous vacation dresses, colorful jewelry, standout sun hats, and of course, a pair of really good sandals, the joyfulness of the season is as fun to wear as it is to look at.

There are so many fantastic places to choose from, but I narrowed down this list to five locations that consistently pop up on my Instagram feed. From Aimee Song to Lucy Williams, scroll down to see where well-dressed women are heading in 2021 and to shop vacation-worthy looks.

Summer is officially in full swing and you’ve got a big vacation on the calendar. Your flight and hotel are both arranged, so now your only real concern is justifying a week’s worth of adorable new summer clothes for the trip. Our simple solution? Invest in vacation-worthy dresses that can be worn again and again post-holiday to work.

We found the cutest out there, from easy breezy sundresses to crisp shirt dresses, that can easily transition from beach to boardroom once you are back to reality. Don’t blame us if you require a bigger suitcase to match. A summer getaway wardrobe is hard to beat; between fabulous vacation dresses, colorful jewelry, standout sun hats, and of course, a pair of really good sandals, the joyfulness of the season is as fun to wear as it is to look at. And if there’s one thing to get you in the vacation mood (besides actually booking your trip), it’s planning all of your on-holiday ensembles

Don’t Go On Holiday Without One of These Vacation Dresses

Maybe you’re planning to visit a museum or landmark on your vacation. If so, you need an outfit that’s cool and comfortable for all-day wear. In the summertime, cotton sundresses are a good option. They’re light and breezy, and you can wear them with a light summer sweater if you want more coverage. Mid-length skirts and short-sleeve tops are also good for sightseeing and/or shopping.

Awkwardness gives me great comfort. I’ve never been cool, but I’ve felt cool. I’ve been in the cool place, but I wasn’t really cool – I was trying to pass for hip or cool. Fashion never stops. There is always the new project, the new opportunity. I always say: To be well dressed you must be well naked.

Fashion in relationships can be a funny thing. Maybe you love your significant other’s style, even though it doesn’t really line up with your own. Or perhaps you’ve fought tooth and nail to get them to get rid of that one piece of clothing you hate or have bought them a few new replacement pieces as gifts just to get the point across.

There is no shortage of chic, versatile, and on-trend tops to shop for on Amazon. Any style you have in mind, they more than likely have and for an affordable price! Some of my favorites from this year so far have been my Los Angeles shirt that looks like an Anine Bing, puff sleeve tops (duh), a few sweater tanks, and an effortless button up white shirt that’s been on heavy rotation this summer.

A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous. I am convinced that there can be luxury in simplicity. I wanted to dress the woman who lives and works, not the woman in a painting. It’s hard to balance everything. It’s always challenging. My relationships with producers or photographers – these are relationships that took years. I can’t get sucked into that celebrity thing, because I think it’s just crass. My aim is to make the poor look rich and the rich look poor. Vanity is the healthiest thing in life. I believe that my clothes can give people a better image of themselves – that it can increase their feelings of confidence and happiness. You can hide so much behind theatrics, and I don’t need to do that any more. I don’t really know how to do casual clothes.

The art of dressing up

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about style; and more so the evolution of my own style over the last five years. Perhaps more specifically, how the my approach to dressing has changed since the start of 2020. There’s less emphasis on appearing sleek and polished; instead opting for easy basics which I know work well. A casual interpretation of my personal style. Naturally evolving as I move through each new “season” in my life.

I suppose this too is one of the things that drives us to be intentional with colour palettes. Insisting on a closet that is easily mixed and matched, because that cohesion often extends beyond the hues in our wardrobe. Representing a feeling, and in part, an outward reflection of sense of self. Which, to that end, is something that’s also pragmatic.

“I try as much as possible to give you a great basic product and what comes out, I feel, is really amazing.”

Clothing you can wear multiple ways – that fit a specific “vibe” – give you more mileage, more options, and ultimately end up feeling like a better buy than the special piece you inexplicably had to have. My style at this point in time has largely been dictated by comfort. I don’t want to be pulling or adjusting my clothes constantly.

This year's reemergence feels particularly special after a prolonged period of dormancy. There's a sense of urgency to get out and be seen like never before and we, at Fashionista, are taking it as a cue to invest in super-special pieces that will help us stand out for many springs and summers to come.

With that in mind, we turned to Nordstrom's designer offering to pick our warm-weather must-haves. From timeless leather bags in poppy hues to the most perfect daytime dresses, click through to see what Fashionista editors are buying — and lusting after — for sunnier days ahead.

The day we switch our closets over from knits and padded layers to a rainbow assortment of cropped crochet tanks and breezy linen blouses is the most wonderful time of year. Not only does it mean that winter's glacial wind has finally softened to become a sun-bathing whisper, but it also signals a sartorial refresh: If we hibernated in earth tones and wool, we can reemerge in daring silhouettes and bright colors.

Warmer Weather Is Here! Ditch The Layers

With April showers now behind us, it’s time we finally break out our spring outfits that don’t solely consist of trench coats and Wellies. Now that sunny days and above-60s temperatures are here to stay, our clothing options become infinitely more fun. Cut-outs, short hems, and look-at-me colors are big trends this season, which is perfect timing now that so many of us are vaxxed and we’re seeing more people in a day than just our reflection in the bathroom mirror. As jeans become jorts, sleeves become optional, and midriffs become visible, we’re here to take advantage of our springtime entrée back into the world.

For all the outdoor dinners, park picnics, day trips, and more that you’ll be participating in as spring turns to summer, let us supply you with a bevy of warm-weather outfit ideas. From Sporty Spice-inspired workout dresses worn with pastel-colored outerwear to scarfs tied as tops and paired with patchwork jeans — the outfit dump ahead has a little bit of everything you need clothing-wise to have a spring season worth remembering.

Ever stand in front of your jam-packed closet, staring at more than enough clothing options, and think: I have nothing to wear? Same. But perhaps the issue isn’t that you’re out of viable outfit choices. You just need a fresh dose of inspiration to help you see your wardrobe in a new way. That’s where Outfit Dump comes in. On the first of the month, every month, we supply you with enough ideas to fuel your style until the next drop comes along.

Whether used at the beach or at a park in the city, straw basket bags are as sturdy as they are stylish. Ahead, we've rounded up our favorites on sale to get you through the rest of summer in the chicest way possible.

Nothing says summer quite like eating outside, whether you’re going for a day at the beach or throwing down a blanket for an outdoor movie screening or concert. In fact, it all seems so romantic in your head, right? What could go wrong? That’s when you realize how challenging pulling off a picnic in temperamental Mother Nature can be.

But don’t fear! When it comes to dining outside headache-free, being prepared for just about anything—from ant invasions to not-enough-wine (the horror!)—is all in how you pack up your picnic basket. Thankfully, today’s options for portable picnics are better than ever, and we’ve rounded up the most handy options out there.

If you’re more of a glamper than a camper, this backpack is the perfect way to make sure you’re dining in the great outdoors—in style. (Or maybe it’s just a really long walk from the parking lot to the outdoor concert venue.) This bag is packed with everything you need for a chic dinner for four: lightweight melamine plates, napkins, flatware, acrylic wine glasses, a cheese board (with knives), corkscrew, salt and pepper shakers, and a fleece blanket. And an extra cooler tote means you won’t starve
