"With", because you don't "wear" hair, unless it is a wig.

"In" is better because you do wear high heels.

"Vacation" is American English, so I was not sure about this one. I did some Google searching and this is what I found:
- "go on vacation" had the most results. Note - no "a"
- "go on a vacation" was next.
- "go for a vacation" was far less frequent, but seemed to be used by Americans too.
Any American English speakers care to comment?
