After yesterday’s post on summer travel wardrobe inspo for the Mediterranean, I received a number of other destination-specific requests! Today, I’m focusing on summer travel to the mountains or lake. You’re aiming for active wear that feels fun but is highly practical for hiking, outdoor sports, and general traipsing through mud/forest, plus a few non-fussy dresses to throw on while enjoying rose on the back patio, or grabbing a drink at the local wood-paneled bar. Layers are key!
Included below: I just bought a few items from Tracksmith’s limited edition collab with J. Crew — these shorts and this tank! Their gear is pricey but really incredible for running. Very thoughtfully designed for runners and great quality. Not from the collab, but has anyone tried J. Crew’s CloudStretch line? I have this half-zip and this sports bra in my cart in the fun blue and white stripe.
Also – a reminder that you can find Hunza G suits 40% off here!

P.S. On the magic and mayhem of traveling with young children. Update: a few Magpies mention this in the comments, but we’ve since learned that traveling only with our children, as a family of four (e.g., with no other family/friends), makes a world of difference in terms of ease and stress.
P.P.S. It’s wedding guest season.
P.P.PS. Sealife-inspired accessories.
Love this wardrobe! It’s making me want to plan a lake getaway. Do you have any good lake vaca recommendations that you know of or travelled to with your family in the northeast (I live in NJ)? I have two little ones as well. Trying to plan something for this summer. Value your opinion!
Hi Daria! There are a bunch of options in upstate NY – I remember people liking Lake George? – but down our way, we love Deep Creek Lake! It’s a rustic, no-frills vibe but really has that “good old fashioned Americana” feeling to it. Really beautiful with lots of standard lakeside attractions — hiking, boating, mini golf, a county fair, a mountain coaster (really fun – we did this with our kids!), ice cream, etc, etc.
Hope you find your way to the water!

Fully obsessed with this wardrobe, clearly I need to plan a lakeside getaway! These are also ideal recs for WFH life, for those of us who prefer to dress on the casual side.
Oh yay! So glad to hear. Putting this together led me to add more Beyond Yoga and an Anine Bing sweatshirt to my cart…!
