The queen of the getaway — whether she’s in St. Tropez, Ibiza, Thailand or Glastonbury — is hands-down Kate Moss, because she looks stylish and comfortable, always. And after decades of a modeling career that’s taken her around the world to fashion shows, editorial and ad campaign shoots, and business ventures, she’s had a bit of practice piecing together the perfect travel outfits.

Today, Popsugar highlighted some of Kate’s mantras for healthy, balanced living, including this tip for packing for vacation:

“I wear black; always trousers — stretchy black jeans and a flat shoe or boot. And I have my own blanket.”

We definitely agree: stretchy black jeans don’t ever look dirty, and they hold their shape after overnight flights. And even a Manolos fan like Kate could use a comfy shoe when dodging the paparazzi at Heathrow.

New York City is the capital of American fashion and is an international trendsetter, both practically speaking and in terms of its everyday residents.

But now, resort collections are being blended into regular wardrobes of regular (paycheck hefting) women. In the November issue of Harper’s Bazaar, Meenal Mistry marks resort as “an army of new highly wearable, season-spanning clothes that marches into stores” just when you need a little cold-weather pick-me-up. “They’re pieces with which you form an intense emotional bond,” Net-a-Porter director Holli Rogers tells Mistry in the piece, which is why anyone today has a right to shop resort.

Why is layering one of the best parts of fall and winter for fashionable girls? Because it’s one of the few dressing “techniques” that allows us to show off our natural styling prowess and experiment with new looks. Whether you live in Miami or Chicago, there’s a way to layer — with shorts and boots or with cashmere sweaters and scarves — and you should remember that layering offers you the opportunity to personalize every piece of clothing you wear. It’s not easy mixing and matching patterns and textures, but that’s what makes it fun, as long as you keep everything in moderation and don’t leave the house looking like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.
