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.

For my impending summer getaways, however, I must confess I recently got a huge assist from the style wizards over at . 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. cut-out maxi dress (above)
2. beaded lace-up sandals (last pic, under $200!)
3. bow-front dress (easy, breezy, endlessly versatile)

8. one-piece swimsuit (doubles as a top!)
9. silk print day-to-night maxi
10. ruffled raffia shoulder bag (punctuates any outfit) or this less-pricey cutie by
