Are you going on a getaway to a tropical resort? When traveling out of the country, many people choose to only travel with a carry-on.

In this blog post, we’ll dive into the essentials of capsule packing for a resort, ensuring that you arrive prepared and effortlessly chic for your well-deserved escape. From versatile clothing pieces to savvy packing tips, get ready to master the art of packing light without compromising on your vacation style.

When curating clothing items for a capsule packing list for a resort getaway, prioritizing versatility and coordination is key. Start by selecting a color scheme that complements your personal style and allows for easy mix-and-match options. Opt for neutral hues like white, beige, or navy, which can be effortlessly paired with pops of color or patterned pieces. Focus on lightweight, breathable fabrics such as cotton, linen, or chiffon to ensure comfort in warm weather.

Following along with lightweight, choose versatile pieces that can easily transition from day to night, such as a flowy maxi dress or a pair of tailored shorts. Aim for layering options to adapt to fluctuating temperatures, like a lightweight cardigan or a chic kimono. Lastly, consider the activities planned during your getaway and pack accordingly, ensuring that each item serves a specific purpose and contributes to a cohesive and functional wardrobe. By following these guidelines, you’ll streamline your packing process and maximize your outfit options for a stylish and stress-free resort experience.

2023 Fall Fashion Trends
2023 Fall Fashion Trends 1667 2000 Tammy Caciola

2023 Fall Fashion Trends

We’ve seen it all when it comes to fall fashion trends over the years. If I’ve learned anything being in the fashion business, it’s that trends come and go, and they almost always make a comeback. If you’ve been waiting to see what 2023 fall fashion trends you should watch, this post is full of great fashion predictions for the coming months.

Fall Fashion Trend #1: Red

I typically reserve bright red colors for the holiday season, but I am so excited to see it come in style earlier this year! From crimson tops and jackets to fiery red-colored handbags and shoes, you’re going to want to pull out your red pieces from the back of your closet or grab a new item or two from the list below!

Fall Fashion Trend #2: Suede

Suede is going to be trending in popularity this fall. Suede is actually quite easy to incorporate in small, classic ways that won’t break the bank. It’s as simple as carrying a suede bag, wearing a great pair of suede boots, or adding a suede belt to your outfit.

Fall Fashion Trend #3: Denim

Denim pieces are truly timeless. Some popular ways to wear denim include your go-to jeans, denim skirts, jumpsuits, denim jackets, etc. Personally, I love a good pair of wide-leg denim jeans. These are my favorites!

Fall Fashion Trend #4: Varsity Sweater

The preppy style is on the rise this fall, and one of my favorite pieces for that is a varsity sweater. It is a chic and timeless design. Perfect for throwing on with some trousers to wear to the office or pairing with some denim for a casual fall day.

Fall Fashion Trend #5: Kitten Heels

Classic sling-back kitten heels are so stylish. With a pointed front end to match the thin heel, a low-cut back, and a top that manages to cover the toes, you may fall in love with the shape. You may also adore the fact that these can be worn with casual, professional, or formal ensembles.

Fall Fashion Trend #6: Vest

I’m seeing lots of sweater vests and tanks coming out right now, and this is one of my favorite 2023 fall fashion trends. In fact, I’ve already added a couple to my closet.

This is a nice wear now-and-later piece because they’re short-sleeved or sleeveless, with enough room to layer underneath when the weather cools.

Fall Fashion Trend #7: Sneaker

A good pair of sneakers is a fall staple. As the temperatures start to drop, you might find yourself reaching for your closed-toe shoes. These sneakers are one of my personal favorites. They are vintage-inspired and so comfy!

October Best Sellers

October Best Sellers

This month, you have all been loving the Amazon finds, and I can’t blame you! They are very good. One of my personal favorites is this New York Hoodie. It gives me Anine Bing vibes without the price tag. Style it with this shiny puffer, and you’ve got a great casual fall look.

Looks for Less has been something I have been trying to incorporate more lately, and this Free People Look for Less set was a best-seller. It is the perfect mix of comfort and style. You could wear it lounging around the house or running errands.

As the seasons change, I like to incorporate different colors into my beauty routine. This Dior lipstick is my favorite color for fall. It doesn’t dry the lips, and it gives off the best color.

These shoes are going viral this fall. They are a new release from Ugg, and I am obsessed! I am so glad I jumped on board and ordered a pair because I am afraid they are selling out quickly!

This striped cardigan, as well as this oversized cardigan, have been two items that I have found myself reaching for often. Both of these pieces are perfect to have on hand for fall. Style it with a white tee and a pair of jeans, and you are all set!

Choosing neutral colors is one of the easiest ways to elevate your athleisure look. These pants (SZ XS) will take you from a day of errands to a night out. The wide leg flows and flatters as you walk, while the delicate botanical print adds an extra bit of detail.

The comfy cloud tank and shoreline wrap top are two of my favorites from the TravisMathew Women’s collection. Both are made out of an incredible luxe fabric. The Shoreline top can also be worn in reverse, making it a perfect option to have in your closet and when traveling!

TravisMathew OutfitThe off-the-shoulder detail of this ponte top (SX S) is the perfect choice to balance out the ponte-fitted shorts. (SZ S)

The Ponte fabric delivers the right amount of stretch and comfort in all their pieces. I love the length of the shorts, and they are much more comfortable than spandex bike shorts.

Sunwashed Denim Shorts FahertySunwashed Denim Shorts

I had given up on denim shorts until I discovered the Sunwashed Denim Faherty shorts. They have a worn-in, effortless vibe I love. The soft denim is comfortable with just the right amount of stretch. They have quickly become my favorite pair. With a 4 3/4″ inseam, they allow for versatile styling with flat sandals or dress them up with a summer wedge.

Summer and eyelet go hand in hand. The details are beautiful on the Carmel Eyelet top. They have added a patchwork style to the eyelet, and I love the shell buttons. This is a summer essential eyelet top! The body of the top is lined, so there is no need to layer under it. Puff sleeves are unlined to show your summer tan through.

I’m wearing size small in this Faherty Carmel Eyelet top in white, with plenty of room; an extra small would also work. It is available in two other summer colors.

Style Tip: If you want more of a v-neck to your button-up blouses, turn the top in at the upper buttons, as I did below!

Dream Cotton Gauze, Lucia Dress

A gauze dress is a summer essential! Faherty has elevated this 100% organic gauze dress with beautiful sewn embroidery details around the collar and the down the front. This gives you a vintage charm detail and gives this light, flowy dress a bit more structure.

Faherty has also added a small piece of fabric under the armhole so you won’t have bra peekaboo. No pockets on this dress mean no bulk, leaving you with a sleek look.

I am wearing a size extra small in the Faherty Lucia Dress in white; it is naturally oversized. This gauze dress is also available in a beautiful rose color as well as a top.

Blue floral patterns are dominating summer fashion this year. The Sorrento dress is vintage-inspired and perfect for any occasion. I love the timeless design that is comfortable and flattering with a body-skimming fit. The buttons are functional, so you can choose how much leg you want to show.

I’m wearing a Small in the Faherty Sorrento dress. I do suggest sizing down; an extra small would fit me better. I’m 5’6″ for length reference. Flat shoes would work for me in this dress as well.
