Essentials for a summer weekend getaway!

With the crazy lives that most of us have. Most people leave their packing for a weekend getaway for the last minute. They start to pack the night before and often forget essential items.  This blog will hopefully make those last minute packers lives a little easier.

Essentials for a summer weekend getaway.

1. Obviously undergarments. Try to take nude color bras and underwear. The nude color will never show no matter what you wear. Remember to pack a strapless or convertible if you are going to need one.

2. At least one summer dress for dinner out. Your choice if its long or short. Short will probably take up less space in your bag and require less ironing or none.

3. Dressy sandals or a wedge sandal to match your dress. Try to pick a netruel color sandal that will go with anything you pack.

4. Two bathing suits. Even if you are only going for 2 to 4 days, if it is hot and humid outside sometimes your suit won't dry in time for the next day. Also a good idea to take suits with different styles so you can tan evenly.

5. Top and shorts or a short beach dress that you can wear over your suit.  Instead of a simple tee make it a 3/4 sleeve loose top over cute shorts. If you are at the beach you can walk accross the sand and sip margaritas at a beachside restaurant without having to change or feel underdressed.

6. Flip flops for the beach. This season has some very colorful flip flops for really good prices.

7. Jewelry. Keep it simple but fun. Make a simple bathing suit stand out with some accessories like small earrings and some great bangles. Take something more dramatic for dinner out like peacock earrings.

8. Beach bag with all of your essentials like; towels, hat, make-up and plenty of sunblock.

Take advantage of the great weather and have fun!
