Vacation all I ever wanted, vacation had to get away! But seriously, what’s a girl gotta do? There’s not a beach in my immediate future, sadly, but several of you let me know you’re heading on warm weather trips and I allowed myself to do a little daydreaming. That led me to these finds to help you pack for a beach vacation (just bring me along in your suitcase, will ya?)
So while you’re vacationing in Tulum, exploring Mexico, and honeymooning in St. Lucia, I’ll just be here, in Chicago, crossing my fingers the temps hit the 40s which all of the sudden feels like bikini weather. 🙃
I’m all about mixing high and low items in my everyday life and when it comes time to pack for vacation, not a whole lot changes! Finding an affordable beach cover-up and beach towel means you can splurge on the things you really want, like this ruffle sleeve top and tote, both of which would look great with a pair of high rise jean shorts!
I’ve had these sandals for several seasons now and they are so easy to throw on with pretty much anything – dresses, shorts and a top, you name it!
If you’re looking for a comfortable pair of shoes for daytime exploring/shopping, I can’t say enough good things about my Soludos. I have a pair of the tennis shoe espadrilles and the slip on espadrilles, too!
I probably sound like a broken record at this point, but I really meant it when I said this camera, was one of the best purchases I made last year! Having memories that live offline is so, so special. You’re going to want to grab extra film, trust me!
I’ve never met a stripe I didn’t like and this one-piece swimsuit is no exception! It also comes in a bikini top (check here for the bottoms) – just throw on a cover-up and your slip-ons of choice and you’re set!
The Marysia 2018 collection is insanely beautiful and offers up so many mix-and-match pieces! I have a few of her suits and can’t say enough good things about the quality. That being said, I know they’re pricey, especially for something that offers so little material, which is why I included a few more affordable options in this round-up. Also, Jess shared this bikini on her Instagram story over the weekend and I was shocked by the price! *Add to cart in every color*

Those sandals are perfect! We are headed to Florida next week, so I wish I would’ve found those sooner. 🙂 Fingers crossed that it warms up here in the Midwest soon enough!
