Accessorizing with neutrals is my favourite because it’s easiest.  I will admit, when it comes to the jewellery department I am not that confident.  If you scroll through my IG feed and the photos on this blog, it is rare that you will find me in anything other than my typical choker or signature pendant necklace and a watch.  I am typically drawn towards those dainty every day pieces because they’re easy, I don’t have to think about it, and I can sleep in them, LOL!  I am a go go go kind of gal and so when it comes to bed time I AM TIRED… taking off layers of jewellery seems so hard! But every once in a while, there is a piece that stands out.  This Stella & Dot tassel necklace is one that as soon as I saw it, I needed to have it! I knew that it would be the perfect way to spice up my neutral outfits! I absolutely love that it is adjustable so it can easily be worn with different necklines.  Also, the tassel is like a fidget for adults, I legit can’t stop playing with it.

Andddd back to my love for neutrals… this bag though! It is the most PERFECT every day Spring/Summer bag. It’s not too big, not too small, and is that perfect light neutral to beautifully compliment any outfit. Genuine leather and just so happens to be majorly on sale… you’re welcome!!

Enter the vacation LBD.  It’s like the more relaxed, cooler (literally and figuratively) older sister.  This particular one is off the shoulder, falls slightly above the knee,  (a must for me as I rarely wear heels when I’m on vacation) and has tie details on the sleeve.  The material is also light and airy which is perfect for any hot destination.

This dress was perfect for our latest trip to Mexico.  I wore it to the beach as a cover up, exploring in Bucerias, and out for dinner.  Packing items like this that can be worn multiple times is key!

Heading on a hot vacation!? Don’t forget  your vacation LBD!

First things first.  The bag… this Stella and Dot Riviera Tote is actually the most perfect beach bag EVER.  The size is perfect for me.  I don’t have kids yet so I don’t need anything too big but I do need something that holds all my necessities.  I love that this has a beach vibe but is a little on the dressy side so it can be transitioned to night.  The tassel can fold over a holds the bag closed with a magnet or, if your bag is super full, it can just hang out for looks. Oh and it just so happens to be on sale, bonus! 

So, now without further adieu, in no particular order, here is what’s in my beach bag!

1. )Sunglasses- Duh… I feel like this is the most obvious thing ever especially when it Maui! The sun never stops shining so protecting those eyes and looking cute is a must and is made easy with these stunning Prada sunnies I scooped from Spareparts before leaving!

2.) S’well water bottle- a beach day must.  If you don’t know what a s’well water bottle is head to their website and see what the buzz is all about.  Trust me, the price tag is totally worth it.

3.) Sudio Wireless headphones– perfect for roasting on the beach! Wireless headphones are a must when sitting on the beach.  Keep your phone cool in your bag while you get your jam on!

4.) Sun hat- I forgot mine and went three days without one, it was the worst! Not only does it look cute, and allows you to extend that hair a few more days, it is also SO important to keep the sun off your face!!

5.) SPF chapstick – Is there anything worse than getting a sunburn on your lips? Nope.  This glo. minerals cherry balm protects lips with full spectrum SPF 15 while nurturing botanicals of hemp seed oil, meadowfoam and mango seed butter soothe and heal… awesome.  It has been a trip favourite for all of the ladies, and some boys

6.) A good book- for obvious reasons you need a book.  Reading is something I LOVE to do but with my busy lifestyle it doesn’t always happen.  Beach days are my favourite days to get lost in a good read.  Together is Better by Simon Sinek was light hearted, inspiration, and exactly what I needed.

7.) Bose Mini Soundlink – When travelling in a group like we did, this is a real game changer.  Throw it in your beach bag and it will keep the gang happy and entertained for hours! Just don’t forget to download a playlist before you leave…

8.) Sunscreen- Although this is the last on this list it is always the first thing I put into my bag.  Before leaving for Maui I stopped in at Nu Image for some sunscreen recommendations.  Jenn set me up with two, the Vivier Sunscreen SPF 30 (this is the same brand my skin regime is- it’s amazing), and the ZO Skin Health Sun Spray 50, this stuff is AMAZING! I have to say I like the ZO stuff better for the simple fact that it is a spray- it is so convenient, easy, and is NOT greasy! I highly recommend this product!

There ya have it! K off to the beach to roast for one more day….
