Vacation Essentials

In March, I will be leaving chilly Chicago for some time in the sun. I can't remember the last time I took a trip to the beach where my days consisted of walks by the sea, yummy cocktails and sunshine - hence my excitement! However, because I still have 6 weeks until I will be soaking up some rays, I have been obsessively stalking my favorite online stores for a few vacation essentials. Here are a few of my favorite pieces for warmer days to come...




Do you have any vacations coming up that you're looking forward to? What is your favorite warm weather essential?

  4. Thank you for reminding me that I need to plan a vacation! I'm really excited about all the neon they're showing. My fav warm weather essential is a great maxi dress that can double as a coverup!

  6. I live in Tampa so it's pretty much always beach time for us. I love that beach tote! I put it on one of my posts a few weeks ago. I'm also a big fan of that hat. My other essentials are fun nail polishes, loads of magazines, sunscreen, a cute pair of denim shorts and a loose white cotton top.
    Enjoy!

  23. I'm in the same boat... heading to Miami next weekend for a close friend's bachelorette party... so excited (even though it means missing part of fashion week!) I've picked up a few essentials and will be picking up a few more... summer/vacation clothes are the best. Really love those Asos flat sandals - they look much more high-end than Asos!
