1. A GREAT BOOK! Nothing says vacation and relaxation more than a great novel. I finished The Gold Finch and just ordered both of these books, so this is what would be at the top of my suitcase!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2.A “STRATEGIC” COVERUP. OK, my bikini days might be behind me, but it doesn’t mean I don’t want to look super stylish poolside! I love Roberta Roller Rabbit’s fun colorful and chic tunics and would probably bring one for every day of the week:)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 3. CHIC AND COMFY SHOES. Come summertime I LIVE in Jack Rogers, I have an entire “Jack Rogers section” in my closet…I kid you not. So that is likely all you would find in my suitcase, as good looking as they are comfortable….priceless when something that looks good actually feels good!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 4. MY TRUSTY iPAD. What would I do without this thing? Being able to check in on my blog, my online shop, my favorite? blogs, playing Words With Friends, Instagram….the list goes on! Yes this is like my best friend:)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 5. A CHIC HOLD EVERYTHING TOTE. I love this new style from Annabell Ingall, I will be getting them in a few weeks….a touch of leather on a soft straw tote…very good looking and best part it can hold everything while looking good!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 6. CUTE SUNGLASSES. I live in sunglasses, yes Mom<\/em> all that “harping” about wrinkles around the eyes paid off….I am paranoid to be outside without sunglasses:) I tend to like Gucci and Tory Burch, they each have a particular style that works well for me and that I buy over and over….<\/p>\n 7. A BAG OF TRICKS. Aka my “essentials” that would include all my favorite makeup, sunblock, eye cream, face cream, lip balm and all the basics us girls need:)<\/p>\n No I don’t need this<\/em> much (thank the Lord) but doesn’t? this picture make you want to play dress up!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 8. A FEW MAXI DRESSES. I have found these to be a saving grace, lightweight, super easy to pack, they don’t wrinkle, they hide a multitude of sins, can be worn with a cute little jacket, a shawl or sweater over it and always, I mean always look chic and effortless! Add a little gold jewelry, a cute clutch or tote and off you go…..looking effortlessly stylish……. Calypso makes some great ones!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 9. A GREAT HAT. Again it’s all about protecting your skin…..so a great looking hat is a must. And why not look chic in the process! I love this style hat and normally bring two with me just in case one flies overboard:)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 10. A COZY ROBE AND PJS. I take this subject VERY seriously…and this might be the most important of all! I love cozy robes and comfy pjs. I have this very robe from Roberta Roller in a few colors and its the perfect summer robe….lightweight, comfortable and so great looking! I love lounging when on vacation so this fits the bill perfectly….<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n So ….are you ready to say bon voyage? I wouldn’t? mind leaving for a trip today…forgetting all about busy over packed schedules, obligations, and my daily routine…….love a vacation, a great time to recharge, disconnect and come back all anew. Putting this post together has me in the mood to get packing and get away!<\/p>\n How about you? What 10 things would be on your<\/em> list?
