Beach Bound

As I pack for my destination this evening, I seriously consider what to pack into my suitcase. I'll be gone for only a few days, yet it still seems like a nightmare and potentially a bigger one than usual. Possibly because I am using a slightly smaller (who are we kidding, MUCH smaller) suitcase and I feel the need to have more options just in case I am in dire need of some back up assistance. Like I mentioned in a previous post "'Cause Baby You're A Firework", my fashion is like an ever lasting mood right, constantly changing. A girl needs options, hello! While I finish what seems like an impossible and unsolved mystery on how to fit everything I practically own into a tiny piece of luggage, I leave you with these outstanding summer vacation must haves.

Fun In The Sun

When talking about beachwear every season, I tend to run across women who have trouble finding the right accessories for the beach or pool. It is always easy finding a cute swimsuit, but finding the right cover ups, shoes and beach bags tend to be more of the problem while shopping. I found the perfect stuff for your Spring Break or Summer fun in the sun and hope it helps all of you while on your prowl for the best beachwear of 2012.

This is the perfect cover up for a long day out in the sun, following dinner afterwards. Pair this with some cute rhinestone sandals or wedges, cute coctail right and fabulous sunnies and you will be on your way to success.
