i am not a good packer. i’ve evolved from throwing everything into a suitcase, to packing strategically in outfits, and yet i’m still always over packed. most of the time, i travel to places that have at least 1 mall or pharmacy to be able to replace anything i’ve inevitably forgetten. not this time. this time, there are no malls, there are no pharmacies, there’s only beach and ocean as far as the eye can see (i am most definitely not complaining, but now more concerned than ever about forgetting something crucial.)

to make matters more complicated, i’m travelling for a destination wedding, which means all of the components of my outfit need to be packed and nothing can be forgotten. once we get on that plane, there is no turning back!

so what have i done this time to ensure nothing is forgotten? i’ve packed in stages.

stage 1- the beach bag

beach bag essentials include:

1- Victoria Secret Criss Cross Bandeau Top

2- Frends Layla Earphones

3- Michael Kors Studded Straw Beach Bag

4- Canon camera

5- Sunscreen (both for face and body- i have very sensitive skin and always need to have different types for each)

6- Killer Playlist (varying from new Fergie to Half Moon Run)

7- Magazines (to be acquired at the airport)

8- Sunglasses (the obvious beach staple)

More vacation packing details to come!
