Going Somewhere? Here's What 2 Fashion People Are Packing for Their Next Getaway

It seems like every time I go anywhere, I overhear people talking about their travel plans. Whether it's a roundtrip ticket to Mykonos for an all-inclusive getaway or a staycation in Malibu at a shared house with friends, it seems like we're all more than ready for a little R&R. And to make the packing process a little easier (does choosing Insta-worthy 'fits for vaycay give anyone else major anxiety?), I tapped two fashion insiders to give me the low-down on what they're stuffing in their suitcases for their upcoming trips. The consensus? A bunch of Lilly Pulitzer. Can you blame them, though? Going onto the Lilly Pulitzer site is basically stepping into a virtual tropical oasis with bright colors and splashy prints jumping out at you on every page. Keep scrolling to see their vacation-worthy looks. (And, just a warning, be ready to book your next flight.)

"This summer, we're heading back home to NYC for a week. We've been living in Miami for almost a year, so we're super excited to go back and catch up with friends and family as well as visit some of our favorite places in the city. I'm excited to wear this set on walks around the city. I styled this look with white sneakers, a simple top-handle bag, fun sunglasses, and gold jewelry—so it's comfortable yet super stylish. I love dressing up, but having a casual look in my suitcase for walks or breakfast is always a must."

"I'll be wearing this dress for a brunch during a staycation type of day in my own city. This look gives off major getaway vibes as it's colorful, lightweight, and unique. It makes me want to just kick back and have some fun! And I love the way the dress fits—I'm 5'5", and the length is perfect on me. I also love that I can dress it up or down with some flat sandals. My favorite summer accessories are sunglasses and gold jewelry (they look great with everything), so they were definitely a must when styling this dress."

"When packing for vacation I tend to gravitate toward easy, versatile pieces that can be worn day or night. And this dress is just that—it's simple, elegant, and multi-functional. You can wear it almost anywhere: a dinner date, breakfast, sightseeing in the city, and so much more. When it comes to styling, I think keeping it simple is key since the dress has three colors. You want it to be the main focus of your outfit. Shoes and accessories should be a solid color with no prints or patterns."

"I have a trip planned to Hawaii this summer, and this pink dress is first on my packing list. Everyone needs a breezy dress that's practical for those hot summer days, especially in humid Hawaii. It's easy to throw on when you don't want to make an effort but still want to look chic. I love that I can wear it with anything (in this case, an ultra-cute straw bag) and feel happy in it. It's easy to style, fits amazing, and will keep me cool all summer."

Beyoncé Rides a Horse While Wearing a Crystal Bikini on New Album Cover

We have officially entered Beyoncé's "Renaissance" era. Six years after the release of "Lemonade," the "Break My Soul" singer posed on a holographic horse while wearing a revealing bikini for her seventh album cover, shedding the swaths of yellow-gold fabric from her iconic "Lemonade" video. Putting her own twist on summer's biggest style trend, Beyoncé wore a sculptural Nusi Quero bikini embellished with chrome spikes and hundreds of glittering crystals.

The barely there bikini - styled by Marni Senofonte and Vance Gamble - curved in a helix pattern from the base of Beyoncé's neck and circled around her hips. A pair of chrome nipple pasties adorned the top half of the one-piece suit, while the rest of her chest was trimmed with delicate strings of crystal that glistened as bright as her gleaming riding saddle. She paired the look with liquid silver heels, a caramel manicure, matching eyeshadow, a bright-pink lip, and honey-brown waves that cascaded past her waist, evocative of a popular hairstyle from the 16th century.

Beyoncé dropped the album cover on June 30, exactly one month before the official album release on July 29. Also at the center of the futuristic cover art, which is set against a black background, is the holographic horse that, like a disco ball, appears to be covered in thousands of miniature mirror tiles. From this sensual Nusi Quero one-piece to her classic Roberto Cavalli dress in the "Lemonade" video, Beyoncé has proven her mastery of breathtaking visual covers once again.

7 Major Shoe Trends That Will Be Everywhere This Fall

Taking a closer look at the fall/winter 2022 collections that debuted earlier this year, there are some key shoe trends to have on your radar for the upcoming season. While there are so many major trends worth noting for the season—ranging from floor-sweeping hemlines to the “new” new bomber jackets—I'm here to narrow in on the coolest fall shoe trends for 2022.

There were many notable styles introduced by designers, but there are seven trends that are the most important to know for the season ahead. Rather than focus on any seasonal basics, I'm highlighting the most directional footwear that I predict will have a big impact on fashion for the upcoming season. The short list includes the silhouettes taking over and the boots that are already going viral among the fashion set. Here, read on for the seven key fall shoe trends for 2022.

Mary Janes were one of the standout silhouettes on the F/W 22 runways. These aren't your ordinary Mary Janes, though. The latest iterations are finished with big platforms, wedge heels, XXL buckles, and sculptural shapes, as spotted at Bottega Veneta, Prada, and Versace. I'm already predicting that Mary Janes 2.0 will be one of the key shoe shapes for fall 2022.

Ballet flats are returning with a vengeance. Conjuring early '2000s Kate Moss when ballet flats had a major fashion moment, the shoes are back with the "cool girl" stamp of approval from brands including Miu Miu, Khaite, and Proenza Schouler. With Balletcore on the rise, it's only fitting that the dance shoes make their comeback.

In the early '2010s, motorcycle boots were a mainstay on the street style scene and a favorite shoe amongst of the "model off duty" set. The motorcycle boots of that time were heavier, more traditional takes on the shoe, but now we're seeing them return with new interpretations including everything from boots to heeled versions. In part, we can thank Balenciaga for ushering in the trend. Their cult Cagole shoes—incorporating the grommets and tassels of the iconic Y2K motorcycle bag—have become the most in-demand shoes of 2022. We'll see more designers tapping into the aesthetic when fall arrives.

As designers infuse more elements of fun into their collections, we're seeing an uptick in all things shimmery and shiny. From metallic over-the-knee boots styled with sequined slip dresses at Bottega Veneta to gold foil-like mules paired with pastel dresses at Jil Sander, this is exactly the type of mood-boosting fashion we've been waiting for that we can look forward to for the season ahead.

The major boot trend to have on your radar for fall? Waders. A shoe spotted on the F/W 22 runways at Chanel, Acne Studios, and Bottega Veneta. The tall boots go beyond your average over-the-knee styles, with wide shapes that rise to the mid-thigh. Paired with micro silhouettes  including shirt dresses and tweed jackets, this is how I expect to see them worn amongst the street style set during fashion month.

Over-the-knee boots as a whole were one of the standout silhouettes of the season and in addition to wide waders, fall will also mark the return of tall glove-like boots that fit tight on the legs. At Saint Laurent, Burberry, and Balenciaga, the boots were designed in everything from shiny leather to printed florals.

Fuzzy things are taking over for fall 2022, including everything from handbags to footwear. While it may feel less wearable than some of the other trends coming up for fall, there are already signs that it will pick up even more steam. Fuzzy shoes are continuing into the Resort 23 collections as well—notably at Khaite—which means that fashion people are sure to adopt it into their wardrobes in no time.
