Spring Break Packing List + Travel Tips
1. A "highlight item" for the trip.
And when I say a "highlight item," it doesn't have to be a new item, necessarily. In my case, this kimono happens to be a new item, but a "highlight item" can be A) more than one item and B) an item that is your favorite and at the top of your packing list. Something that you know for a fact, you want on the trip.
I caved and bought this kimono because I would have regretted it if I didn't. Sorry not sorry.
2. The right bag.
I always carry my MacBook Pro with me when I travel, so I normally opt for either a bookbag or a bag fit for a laptop when I travel. This Louis Vuitton is a favorite of mine, but sometimes I'll switch it up to this Barrington tote bag that was customized in Carolina blue because GO HEELS.
;)
3. I'm taking this dress with me for Spring Break because A) it's eye-catching and B) surely makes a statement and C) it's such a comfy dress and easy to move around in. P.S. It's only $11!
4. Sneakers
5. Panama hat
My all-time favorite spring / summer hat. It is such a flattering statement that coordinates with every outfit. I used to curl my hair a lot when I traveled, but now, it isn't a top priority. With that being said, I opt for hats to keep my hairstyle simple and instead, I use that free time I spent doing my hair enjoying my trip.
P.S. this panama hat is a classic. You can even get it for 25% OFF with code SHOPNOW.
6. No matter where I go, I always bring workout clothes / shoes with me.
Being active is a big part of my life and I always make time for it. Even on vacation.
7. I'm planning on bringing this bathing suit with me on my trip. The scallop bikini top is from last summer, but I found very similar ones to it here + here.
8. Floppy hat
A must-have for the beach or pool.
9. Sunglasses
These Karen Walkers are my all-time favorite pair. I take them everywhere with me.
10. Dresses.
I like to wear dresses a lot while traveling because to me, dresses are the comfiest clothing. I would rather pick dresses over tops and jeans, and they take up less space in your suitcase. Haha, I am just all about finding ways to carry less in my suitcase. It's seriously a struggle sometimes!
So I hope that helped, or gave you an idea of what I gravitate towards when traveling. I also wanted to give you a feel for what I'm packing for my Spring Break as well.
And for those who are curious where I'm headed...
See you soon, LA!
