PSA: I am ready for Mexico everybody! I am ready for you, for me, for everyone anywhere who needs a break. Haha – I hope you all feel the excitement in my words. The best part is that I get to take all of you along for the ride and share all the fun parts of getting ready. In my humble opinion, besides the plane ride cocktails (yes that counts as getting ready), shopping is what I look forward to most before I completely go vacation mode. 
Come along for this amazing list of beachy, easy-going, and very chic vacation must-haves, and as usual all for affordable prices! The goal is to splurge on the experience! Go wild guys and be sure to let me know over on Instagram what you’re snagging for your next get-away.

1: Sunscreen: Supergoop Glow Screen has been my go-to sunscreen for quite a while now and it has not failed me. The coverage is all-around 5 stars with a light feel that is buildable and the added glow means no make-up necessary for that dewy sun-kissed look. Full SPF 40, hyaluronic acid, and sea lavender for long-lasting hydration. 

2: Packable Hat: Before I snagged this Packable Hat I was always struggling flying with headgear. I have seen people on flights with layers of hats on their heads and they deserve a gold star for commitment but I needed something more feasible. Viola the packable hat series! It comes in a variety of colors (not just shades of beige) and goes with all vacation gear. It folds up neatly into your carry-on or beach bag with minimal space. 

3: Blue Hoop Earrings: These Blue Hoop Earrings literally make me giddy. What is not to love about them?! The shades of blue, the gold pieces for a flashy element, and the not over the top size. They are a top accessory must-have for beach life (even if it’s only 3-5 days long lol). Swooning everyone, simply swooning. 

4: Packable Woven Tote: Another packable necessity that makes travel and vacationing much easier?! Having a Packable Woven

 Tote is fantastic for functionality and fashion.

 I normally forget a beach bag and purse – can you believe that?! This solves that problem tenfold and takes up little space. It’s a classic vacation style bag that goes with every outfit I have packed and can hold as much or as little as I need, 

5: Easy Dress: So vacation weather is never predictable and with that, you need to be prepared for the humidity that may come with sunshine or rain. Having an easy but absolutely adorable dress option for this very circumstance is key to comfort. I love the cut-out details in the back and the puff sleeve which gives carefree vibes all the way. 

6:  Sarong: Sarong’s are an easy-to-wear and use vacation accessory but definitely should not cost very much. These sarongs are amazing for quality and price. They come in more than 30 color options and two packs if you want to stack different colors or for multiple days. 

7: Sunglasses: Sunnies are a vacation must and if you’re anything like me you dread taking an expensive pair because they can get lost in the water or in transit. These oversized sunnies give major high-end designer feels at a fraction of the price. The tortoiseshell frame is trendy and looks great with everything. 

8: Strapless Cut Out Suit: If you are on the in-between team when it comes to swimwear and want to make your way over to a two-piece but aren’t ready or if you love your one piece but want an edgier/fun design this is the suit perfect for you. It can be strapless, or you can use the straps for added support, and the torso tie is so fun and sexy. 

9: Caftan Dress: Caftan Dresses are fun vacation dresses. The glow and vibe they give you is “expert wanderluster”. The details of this dress are dreamy with the tassels, scrunched waist for a cute waistline where ever is comfortable, and dainty button upfront. This can be worn beach or poolside and dinner.

10: My #1 Swimsuit of All Time: I think the label says it all but in case that is not enough for you…this Swimsuit is by far my personal favorite of all time! haha It’s so flattering and durable. I’ve always gotten non-stop compliments while wearing it and feel like a supermodel. The one-shoulder cut is edgy, it snugs and holds in all the right areas, and the slight high-thigh fit isn’t overwhelming or wedgie-inducing. I wear a size large and it fits a long torso well. Don’t think too much and just grab it. I promise! 

11: Smocked Maxi Dress: I choose this Smocked Maxi Dress because of comfort and style. It has so much going on in such a distinctly subtle way and that is what’s wonderful. First, we have the high waist which is definitely part of the comfort grab. I love the high low bottom that flows effortlessly. The smocked bodice leaves room for stretch and the ruffle sleeve is a beautiful touch. Plus the navy design screams “all aboard!”

12: Knit Short Set: Like butter ladies and gentleman, like butter! I could live in this knit short set for the entire vacation. It’s the perfect wear for travel, beachside hanging, lunch, even a casual dinner! The look is definitely more lounge-like but you certainly have the option of how fitted you would want to order it and how you dress the top. 

13: Flutter Sleeve Top: Babydoll tops are an all-time favorite for me. I find them super flattering on every body type and match well with any type of bottom. This Flutter Sleeve Top comes in the creamiest nude color with a white eyelid stitch detail all around. Love!

14: Denim Shorts: Denim shorts are generally challenging to shop for, but when you find a pair that works they go with you everywhere right?!  These curvy denim frayed shorts have an awesome stretch factor that let you order true to size and have room to work with. The frayed edges are also golden because, for me, it eliminates a huge possibility of the dreaded chub rub. 

15: Nude Wrap Sandals: Nude Wrap Sandals are an awesome addition to my Mexico trip. I can style them up for outings and dinners or keep them simple for lounging. The wrap design is great for packing and they can squeeze in anywhere.

16: Black Tank Dress: I feel like a Black Tank Dress is an overall summer staple so this is a great buy for various reasons. It’s a comfortable airport travel outfit or even a car ride if you’re driving somewhere. If you’re into excursions it’s a nice option for coverage but easy enough to change in and out of. Now here’s the key part, dress this bad girl up or down and it’s still a stunner! Options are endless for vacation and summer!
