Where We’re Headed
(and What We’re Packing)
This Memorial Day

Sure, June 21 might be the solstice, but here at the goop office, summer starts the minute there’s an optimistic forecast and a three-day weekend. Our first order of business: planning an escape. And the second order of business: packing for that escape. Whether it’s getting some fresh mountain air or hanging by the pool and barbecuing with friends, here’s how our editors are plotting their escape—and what’s coming along for the ride.

• Gül Hürgel
  RUFFLE NECK DRESS goop, $945 “My favorite restaurant for dinner in Woodstock is Bear Café. Best margaritas, best bread basket (it comes out warm), and some great people-watching. It’s not a dress-to-the-nines type of place, but I always aim to look like a classier version of myself. I want to wear this out to all sorts of summery dinners. It’s airy yet shapely, it’s playful with that ruffled flourish, and I love that splashy cerulean color.”
• VINTNER’S DAUGHTER Serum
  goop, $185 “I don’t go anywhere without this incredible blend of the most nourishing, skin-clearing oils. And I can’t bear the thought of going back to looking not gleamy. I am completely and utterly obsessed.”
• G. SPORT Peonies Crop Top goop, $75 “I live for hiking in the summer heat! I love the earthy smells, the endless sunshine, working up a sweat, and that I can gallivant through nature wearing a vibrant, peony-embellished sports bra without a sweatshirt covering up its awesomeness.”
• Lisa Marie Fernandez
  BIKINI goop, $395 “I’m dying over this hot orange bikini. The sleekness! Woodstock has some pretty fantastic swimming holes that aren’t always crowded on a sultry day.”
• GLACCE Water Bottle goop, $80 “I’m making it a goal to use less plastic this summer. This glass water bottle has a rose quartz crystal (known as the love stone) inside to charge your water with positive vibes. Why the eff not, right?! Makes drinking water way less boring, too.”

• TORY BURCH
  Bikini Top goop, $98 “There’s nothing like a fun print to get you in the mood for summer, and this matching set really does the trick.”
• Tory Burch
  BOY SHORTS goop, $128
• JANESSA LEONÉ Hat Janessa Leoné, $285 “Because who wouldn’t pack a cute straw hat?”
• FUJIFILM Instax
  Mini 9 Instant Camera Fujifilm, $69.95 “Vacation is the one time I can put down my phone and disconnect. This instant camera is adorable and conveniently sized, and it captures the moment (without Instagram!).”

• ZIMMERMANN
  Golden Flutter Floral-Print Dress Matchesfashion, $650 “There is nothing I love more than a bright floral print, and this is my ultimate warm-weather dress. I love the flirty ruffles and that it looks cute with Adidas or a fun pair of heels.”
• JENNIFER FISHER X GOOP
  Earrings goop, $200 “I’m so obsessed with these earrings that I bought them in both silver and gold. They are lightweight and the perfect size, and they add just the right amount of shine to any outfit.”
• COVER One-Piece Cover, $175  “I want to be one of those people who enjoys just lounging on the beach for hours, but I’m not. This is the perfect swimsuit for paddleboarding, snorkeling, whatever—it’s made of UPF 50 fabric, which blocks 98 percent of rays, and I love the white zipper.”
• AWAY The Everywhere Bag Away, $195 “I’m scared to check luggage because last summer an airline lost my bags for two months. This weekender is the perfect size for everything I need on vacation, and the black leather is fantastic.”
• THE ORGANIC PHARMACY
  Sunscreen goop, $69 “This physical sunscreen smells floral and summery, and it leaves your skin both super hydrated and protected from the sun.”

• YEAR OF OURS Sports Bra goop, $60 “Lots of time outdoors plus physical activity equals the perfect excuse to wear a cute matching workout set.”

• SPALWART Sneakers Outdoor Voices, $290 “It’s hard to come by cute hiking shoes, so these are the first thing I’ll pack in my bag.”

• INDUSTRY STANDARD Maya Sweatshirt Industry Standard, $85 “My friend Nicole designed this Maya sweatshirt in the most perfect dusty shade of blue. It’s not too bulky and works for a chilly beach walk without taking up too much space in my carry-on. Also: custom monogramming.”
• URSA MAJOR Face Wipes goop, $24 “I’m never without these Ursa Major wipes. They’re perfect to stash in your bag to use post-hike or workout class, and they brilliantly remove makeup after a night out.”
• SOPHIE MONET Minimal Malachite Earrings Sophie Monet, $145 “I can’t bear earrings that are too heavy, so the fact that these delicate wood hoops are light as air means I’ll wear them constantly.”
• G. SPORT Seamed Crop Legging goop, $90 “I always try to squeeze in a Pilates or barre class, even on a quick weekend away. These seamed cropped leggings are so good (navy!), I’ll probably wear the on my 6 a.m. flight, too.”
• DÔEN Rosebay Top Dôen, $148 “Dôen blouses are one of my go-tos. They’re made from lightweight cotton that doesn’t wrinkle, and many of the styles have sweet details, like ruffles, ties, or—my favorite—exaggerated sleeves.”
• MADEWELL Bandana Madewell, $13 “So many ways to wear this, but I like to tie mine around my neck for a hike.”
• Marni SANDALS goop, $780 “Not quite ready for Birks yet, but these easy crisscross sandals will do the trick.”
• Nili Lotan PANTS goop, $395 “I can’t resist high-waisted wide-leg trousers—and these are particularly good for that in-between weather the Pacific Northwest is known for.”
