Spring Break

With Spring Break coming up just around the corner, I know that many of you are finishing up midterms and beginning to pack for the awesome trip you're going on!! Trips can be tons of fun, but also kind of overwhelming. Rushing to make sure you have everything ready can cause you to forget some of the essentials. Let me help remind you of not only some really great clothes pieces you should always bring, but also some extra things you don't want to forget! I will start with some clothing pieces that you should always bring with you on vacation. I'm assuming most people go warm places for Spring Break, but if you are going someplace cold (like to go skiing) then these ideas probably aren't going to be very helpful. Sorry!
When going on vacation, you don't usually want to bring every single thing in your closet. However, you do want to be ready for anything!!! You may not plan on meeting a cute boy, but it could happen. You need to be prepared to go on a date, to the beach, shopping, and tons of other fun stuff!
1. Bathing suits. Bathing suits are a must if you are going to be near water! You can tan in them, go swimming, and even just have them under your outfit in case you decide to be spontaneous. Bring a bathing suit that you feel confident in, people sense confidence. A one piece, bikini, bright colored, patterned, or whatever bathing suit that makes you feel good about yourself.
2. Shorts. Shorts are another essential if you are going someplace warm. But, don't just bring the plain one colored denim. Have fun with it!! Colored shorts, and shorts with patterns are really cute! Plus, shorts can be dressed up or down. You can wear them to shopping with a pair of flip flops and a causal t-shirt, or you can add a super cute blouse and a pair of wedges and have a more dressy date night outfit!
3. Shirts. Simple t-shirts are my personal favorite. A really lightweight material, v neck t-shirt. You can throw it on over a bathing suit top, or you can pair it with a pair of patterned shorts. The lightweight material helps it not stick to your body when you a bit hot and sweaty, and it looks really casual. A plain t-shirt is always great for any occasion. Don't forget a statement necklace to pair with it! It really makes the necklace stand out.
4. Sun Dress! Who always wants to wear shorts and t-shirts? Sometimes, it is way easier and more comfortable to put on a dress! Sun dresses are super cute, can be dressed up or down, and are really quick and easy. Again, pick a dress that you are comfortable in. A maxi dress, strapless, printed, solid colored, whatever you want. A dress is always a must when you are going on spring break.
5. Cute jeans. You may only need to bring 1 pair of these, but nights still sometimes get cold even on Spring Break. Jeans that you feel fabulous in are a great item to have in your suit case! A long walk on the beach in the evening, a quick lunch on the dock, or a spontaneous trip to the shops. A cute, but comfortable pair of jeans are always easy to throw on without much thought.

Now, lets not forget the accessories!!!
Hair bows are a must! B&G has tons of different bows that you could pair with any outfit that you decided to wear! Remember, sometimes, the accessories make the outfit.
Statement necklace. You probably only need one of these. But a statement necklace is a great way to dress up a simple outfit and make a causal outfit ready for a date.
Hair ties. Nobody likes having their hair in their face. Especially when your hot and its sticking to your neck. B&G has some great no crease hair elastics that not only look cute in your hair, but on your wrist too. Never be left without a hair tie!
Sunglasses. Protecting your eyes from the sun is a must!! Health is something to think about even on Spring Break. Thankfully, sunglasses are super cute! They come in tons of colors, designs, styles, and some even have gems on them. You may want to bring more than one pair. For some reason, sunglasses always seem to get lost when you need them most.
A hat. Some girls like ball caps, other girls like the big floppy hats. Either way, keeping the sun off your face is a must! Nobody wants their face to look like a lobster, but more than that, skin cancer is a scary thing to think of. Throw on a cute hat that matches with your outfit, and protect yourself from the suns rays.

Extra things that you should remember. Flip flops, toothbrush, extra money, SUNSCREEN, towels, lip balm, a beach tote, and of course, a smile!

No matter where you end up this Spring Break, remember to have tons of fun!! But, stay safe as well.

Love Always,
