Summer Getaway Essentials
My packing list
I’m jetting off to the Hamptons and am so excited to get away to mix a little work with play. From the gorgeous views, stunning shorelines and fabulous nightlife, the Hamptons has it all. What makes this trip all the more special is that it’s my first time visiting this vacation hot spot!
Now….I have to figure out what to pack?!? The old me would be surrounded by every bit of luggage I have in the house and filling them with just about everything I own. Well, no more! I’ve learned to lean into living with intention and that is leading my packing mentality for this trip. With that in mind, I wanted to share with you a list of my favorite items to pack that will make your summer trip a total breeze! I used to overpack and try to prepare for everything but now, I plan thoughtfully around activities for the days and nights really focusing on things I feel my very best in!
Here's what's coming with me on this trip:
Versatile Sundress
This is a must for all your summer parties! It looks so chic, the material is gorgeous and you’ll look so fabulous as you watch the sunset with whatever you’re sipping on.
2. Linen wrap
This a perfect piece for when those summer nights get a little breezy and you need something to keep you cozy.
3. Classic linen jacket
One of my favorite pieces from Nicole Miller, this linen jacket takes you from beachy vibes to chic and polished in an effortless way.
4. Sun Hat
A great sun hat is the best beauty and fashion tip in one! We love the sun but like all good things, use moderation! If you’re meeting friends for some alfresco dining or just pouring over a juicy summer read, a sun hat is a must! This sun hat from J. Crew is the sun hat you’ll be reaching for all summer long!
5. Clean sunscreen
It’s a must whether you’re on vacation or not. Keep it close and use liberally my friends, that sun is not messing around! Your skin will thank you later!
6. Steamer
Don’t let wrinkles cramp your summer style! Keep this handy steamer nearby to wand away those creases and wrinkles in your wardrobe in no time!
7. My favorite swimsuit
Grab your favorite swimsuit and hit the beach! I believe in loving the skin you're in so let that be reflected in your choice of swimwear. Here’s one of my favorites but choose whatever swimsuit you feel most confident in and own it!
