Where We’re Headed
(and What We’re Packing)
for a Weekend Getaway
In partnership with our friends at
With summer Fridays a thing of the past, we’re relying on few strategically planned long weekends away to make the most of the season. We hit up three goop editors who truly understand how to optimize time out of the office. (For further proof, just look at their Instagrams.) Here’s where they’re headed—and what they’re bringing along for the ride.


JOHN WOGAN
travel features editor, @johnnywogan
“I just moved to LA from New York City, and one thing really I miss is fall—as in, the entire season: falling leaves, sweater weather, all of it. So I’m heading to the Berkshires in Massachusetts for a quick hit of East Coast autumn. I’m excited to finally tour the Mount, Edith Wharton’s home in Lenox, which I’ve wanted to see for years (her novel The Age of Innocence is one of my favorites) and checking out the Tourists, a renovated motor lodge in North Adams, on the bank of the Hoosic River.”-
PATAGONIA PULLOVER Patagonia, $119
“You never know what kind of weather fall will bring in the Northeast, so it’s good to be prepared for a little rain.”
-
TUMI GARMENT BAG Tumi, $495
“I’ll keep any jackets or button-down shirts in this bag and bring it as carry-on, since I can also store small personal items in there.”
-
Goop by Juice Beauty
Enriching Face Oil goop, $110“When the weather turns cooler, my skin tends to dry up, so face oil is a lifesaver during the fall and winter back east. This one is the ideal travel size and goes with me everywhere.”
-
THE ELDER STATESMAN SWEATER The Elder Statesman, $1,555
“Even though it’s made of soft cashmere, it’s also surprisingly durable, which makes it ideal for travel.”


Megan O’Neill
senior beauty editor, @megagirl
“The difference between perfectly acceptable olive oil and olive oil that makes your eyes roll back in your head it’s so glorious is…humongous. My love for the excellent stuff is why I’m headed to Cobram Estate’s sun-dappled olive groves in Woodland, California. What I really want is a lifetime supply of their incredible olive oil (I mix it into zingy lunchtime-salad vinaigrettes and glug it over roasted salmon and sweet potatoes, toast, sardines, everything), but I’ll settle for a stroll—and a meal—on the grounds.”-
Brock Collection Dress goop, $1,690
“Was this dress not made for sauntering through an olive grove nursery?! Perfect parts breezy, diaphanous, and romantic—and when the breeze kicks up at night, it’ll look awesome under a leather jacket.”
-
G. Sport Crop Top goop, $70
“I never go anywhere without something to slip into for a yoga class or a sunset run. The long, lazy meals are the best part of going away for me, and so working out has to be a part of the trip, too.”
-
Dr. Barbara Sturm Glow Drops goop, $145
“I smooth in a few drops of this rose-and-sweet-almond-oil-infused serum and my skin gleams like the very essence of summer. It melts in immediately and feels incredible and hydrating.”
-
TUMI short trip expandable packing case Tumi, $565
“Anything camouflage delights me. A camo-floral like this…I’ve never even seen before! And I’m obsessed!”


Nandita Khanna
editorial projects director, @dresslikenan
“Coming from the East Coast, you’d think I’d be looking for any excuse to go leaf-peeping, but instead, I’ll head to Palm Springs now that the crowds have quieted down. The Colony Palms Hotel is a low-key, fifty-seven-room spot in the Movie Colony. Under the watchful eye of interior designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard, the rooms have been refreshed with Moorish design influences, French tiled floors, Uzbek suzanis, and vintage black-and-white photographs, and there’s plenty of outdoor space for lounging—plus a really good pool. The Colony Palms has just started offering twice-daily yoga classes, too. While I’d happily take all my meals in the hotel’s Purple Palm restaurant, I always plan one dinner at Workshop Kitchen + Bar, which is a quick bike ride from the hotel.”-
Olivia Von Halle eye mask goop, $105
“Completely addicted to sleeping with an eye mask on, especially when I’m traveling.”
-
La DoubleJ Skirt goop, $585
“I’ll slip this on over my one-piece and head straight to lunch at the Purple Palm, where I’m pretty sure I’ll match the wallpaper.”
-
ROUJE Gabin Dress Rouje, $195
“I wore a red floral-printed version Rouje dress all summer long, so I’m delighted the label brought back this easy-to-slip-on wrap silhouette for fall. I’ll wear mine with slides and a vintage army-green jacket when temperatures drop.”
-
True Botanicals
Vitamin C Booster goop, $90“I mix my True Botanicals Vitamin C Booster with serum every morning for glow and extra hydration. This is especially clutch in the desert.”
-
MIKOH Mau Loa One-Piece Mikoh, $218
“I can’t resist a good one-piece, and this one has a slightly sexy cutout across the front.”
