Spring Break Essentials
I cannot believe that we are already halfway through February! While this is my first year not in school, this time of year will always remind me of planning my spring break trips and thinking about all the fun things I get to treat myself to for the vacation. I had so much fun looking at all the swimsuits, sunglasses, and other vacation goodies for you all to enjoy for your upcoming travels. Seeing all of these things makes me excited for the summer, but until then, enjoy this list of my must-have spring break essentials!
If you’re looking to make a statement when you step out on the beach, look no further than this gorgeous bikini! The combination of the red and pink together is literally stunning, and the cut of the top and the high-waisted shorts looks so flattering. This bikini is perfect for the pool, beach, and Instagram pictures!
There is one thing that should never be looked over when going on vacation: cute shoes! The thing I love about these Steve Madden sandals is how they literally go with any outfit, so if you’re an over-packer like me, these shoes are perfect for when you are limited on space. I can imagine wearing these to the beach, dinner, and any other place my spring break takes me on!
Traveling in style is a must for me, and I make no exception when it comes to my luggage. It is so important that when I walk through the airport and have my main character moment, everything matches my aesthetic, and this pink luggage is perfect for my fantasy. While luggage is always a bit of an investment, this suitcase is super durable and worth every penny… And also super cute!
What’s the point of having cute luggage if you don’t have cute luggage tags and a matching passport holder?! BÈIS is one of the cutest brands that I have ever seen in my life, and I am obsessed with this set that comes with a baby pink luggage tag and passport holder. Identifying your bag and having your passport are some of the most important parts of traveling, so I love having these items to help make traveling just that much more fun!
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: bows make everything better! When I saw this pink bow hat, I stopped dead in my tracks and knew I needed it. Lightweight and adorable, this hat is perfect for those traveling to sunny locations or to throw on when you’re going through the airport in the morning and have no time to do your hair.
As soon as I saw this bathing suit, it was giving me all the Sharpay vibes from High School Musical 2. The cut of the bathing suit is absolutely gorgeous, and I love how it’s all tied up in the back with a bow. I can just imagine wearing this while lying poolside and singing “Fabulous” over and over again in my head.
Speaking of lying by the pool, how adorable are these heart-shaped floats for when you’re relaxing in the pool?! From the glitter to the light shade of pink, these are the perfect pool floats for a girls trip. Just imagine all the cute pictures you and your besties can take to remember your trip forever!
If you’re looking for the cutest beach bag ever, look no further. The woven texture of the bag makes it perfect for that Pinterest beach aesthetic, and the “out of office” embroidery should be the motto of your spring break trip. The bag is such a great size and can hold all of your other essentials that you’ve bought from this list!
For those looking for a light, casual, beachy look, this pink and white dress is perfect for you. The aesthetic of this look screams Palm Beach vibes, and it’s perfect for any activity that you have planned for the day. I can also totally see using this as a super cute beach cover-up!
When I think of the beachy, classic aesthetic, I imagine a woman wearing a sunhat just like the one I picked out for this post. Wearing a hat like this to the beach makes you feel and look fabulous, all while shading yourself from the sun. The white color of the hat helps it go with all your bathing suits, and the little black ribbon makes it feel that much more elegant.
If you have seen the movie Aquamarine, then you know the importance of using beachy items as earrings. While these aren’t real starfish, I am obsessed with these golden seashell earrings. I love the simplicity of them and how they are a subtle way to celebrate your vacation and fit the vibe of wherever you’ve traveled!
Y’all, for all of us dress lovers who have dreamed about wearing a dress to the beach all day, Victoria's Secret has heard us. This is a literal swimsuit dress that has built-in swim bottoms, so you can play mermaids with your friends and look super stylish while doing it. I love how even though this is a swimsuit, it looks just like a normal dress, allowing you to wear it both in and out of the water.
While going on vacation to the beach is all about getting tan, it is super important to protect our skin. Especially our face! I love the Rare Beauty tinted moisturizer as it gives me light coverage, hydrates my skin, and has SPF 20 within the product. There is no forgetting to apply sunscreen when it’s literally in your make-up routine!
I don’t know what it is about beach sarongs, but I am obsessed with them. There is something so fun about tying it around your waist and making your bathing suit have a fresh new look to it. The color of this sarong is literally to die for, and the little ties on the side are the perfect accent to make it that much more fun!
I am so excited to see which goodies you guys treat yourselves to for spring break! I know time is going to fly, and soon enough, it will be summer, but until then, I hope you all enjoy the small taste that spring break shows us what that time of year will bring!
p.s. the irony of me posting a spring break essentials guide while a literal snow storm comes down outside my window is truly hilarious!
