You say vacation, and I say, when are we leaving?! Picking a destination and planning a fun filled itinerary is the easy part when it comes to travel. One of the biggest questions is what the heck do I pack?! Well, luckily for you I’ve had my fair share of traveling adventures and pretty much have this whole packing routine down to a science.
Swimsuits: Let’s face it, 60% of your day will be spent in your swimsuit laying out poolside or by the beach. It’s important to find a few swimsuits that make you feel amazing, whether its a tiny bikini, a modest one-piece. Another important thing to consider with swimwear is your tan lines, if you are on vacation for a wedding or special event please be mindful of those tan lines! Nothing is worse than a strapless dress with horrible halter-top tan lines! I typically like to switch top styles each day that way I’m getting a nice even tan throughout my trip. Below are a few of my favorite swimsuits that I packed along with me.
(Left to Right) Zinke One Piece // South Moon Under Mara Hoffman // Blue & Peach L*Space Bikini // Hot Pink Tori Praver // Royal Blue L*Space Bikini
Dresses & Coverups– Besides swimsuits, dresses are high priority on my list. Maxi dresses are usually my silhouette of choice while on vacation. Giving you that extra room & comfort to enjoy that second pina colada or those loaded nachos, I mean hello you are on vacation after all!
Mara Hoffman Dress // Cream L*Space Lace Coverup // Purple Tie-dye // Shark Coverup
Jill Stuart Pink Dress // J.O.A Lace Dress // Bon Voyage Dress // Neon Maxi // Mint Off the Shoulder Dress
Shorts– Distressed Denim shorts are perfect for the beach & also for cocktails at sunset, just add heels!
Light Wash Denim Shorts // Stripped Shorts // Polka Dot Shorts // Distressed Boyfriend Shorts
Bags– My theory is always, go bright or go home! These vibrant clutches & beach totes are island getaways must haves.
Hayden Reis Beach Tote & Wristlet // Pink Multi Colored Clutch // Yellow Lazer Cut Clutch // Take Me Away Clutch
Shoes- This is where it’s really easy to go over board, thats why I usually stick to neutral shoes. An everyday sandal, wedges, a dresser sandal and of course you need that one pair of fun heels cover all bases
Dressy sandals // Pink Heels // White Jack Rogers // Gold Wedges // Tan Gladiator Sandals
Just like that you are all packed, off to the sunshine you go!!

I absolutely love this! I couldn’t agree more about the swimsuits – last summer I was away and got crazy criss-cross tan lines…and wanted to wear this amazing strapless dress to dinner! Your pictures always come out so beautifully, too! I hope you have an amazing trip and looking forward to hearing about it/seeing gorgeous pics! : )
