Beaches be beaches. I am so excited to start packing up for my family vacation to Destin, Florida late this July. I have been to Florida a ridiculous amount of times but we have never made it to Destin before so I am stoked. I am excited for Seaside and all of the cute places we will eat and see! Packing for summer vacations are seriously so fun but take forever to decide what to bring(or atleast it takes me forever). So I am here to tell you what you need to be beach ready in no time.
Top 10 Beach Musts:
- Beach towel(duh) preferably a cute beach towel like this flamingo towel above!
- Swimsuit top: I love separates that can be paired with a lot of different tops or bottoms to get the best bang for your buck! This palms high rise swim top from H&M is a great price and it looks similar to the Mumu swim top that is over 100 dollars!
- Swim bottoms: I am all for high rise bathing suit bottoms lately. They are great for us curvier girls and are in style right now. I love stripes so I shared this one but you can find cute swim bottoms like this at Target, which is my favorite place to get swimsuits. I don’t know about y’all but I cannot afford VS swimwear on a college budget!
- Sunnies: My favorite pair of sunglasses I’ve owned are these Rayban Clubmasters in black and gold. Protect your vision while looking fab!
- Sunscreen/tanning lotion: As the summer goes on, I slowly switch from sunscreen to tanning lotion and this stuff is my favorite!
- Sandals(preferable cheap, cute ones): These birkenstocks are the sandal of the summer and you can find knock offs here for WAY cheaper, I even own them and they are comfy and look just like the real thing!
- Beach bag: Something big and spacious that can fit your towel, sunnies, lotion, and whatever else you drag to the beach. How cute is this one with synchronized swimmers on it!?
- Lip balm: Protect your lips too! I sware by eos balls and always will!
- Water bottle: Stay hydrated in the heat! My favorite water bottle is this one right here. The contigo from target is basically a cheaper version of a camelback water bottle and I love it so much. You can also find cute water bottles at Victoria’s Secret!
- Floppy hat: MUST! Double the protection and hides your hair when it isn’t having the best of days. Did I mention they are super cute and you will feel extra stylish when wearing them? Because really, you will. You can find cheap floppy hats at Target, Old Navy, and even Walmart!
Alright beaches, you are ready for vacation!
