I have no idea how July is already here, but we’ve been on the go so much lately, I just realized we hadn’t planned a beach vacay. Normally we vacation to 30A in the fall, since it’s less crowded, but I think this year were going to switch things up.
I was looking for some fun items I could order for our last minute trip, and just decided to make a little Vacation post about it. Most of the items I’ll order will be able to be used with multiple outfits.
Let’s be honest, we all know when it comes to vacation, I need simple + comfy clothes.
I’ve put together 5 looks that I’m going for on our vacation, and hopefully this will give you some inspiration for any outfit idea for yours.

Trust me, I love a good affordable beach look… but I also like to occasionally splurge on one good coverup that can be worn to lunch/dinner after we leave the beach.
I also love to splurge on one beach bag every 2-3 years, when I know it’s something I’ll carry often and goes with my style. This beach bag caught my eye the minute I saw it, and I think it will be a great bag for your entire trip. I paired it with many other outfits so you could see how much it flows.
Plastic storage bags are a must when it comes to storing sunscreen + any other beauty items. I love that you can rinse it out if something spills.
Vacation drinks are better in a cute glass. Just trust me on this. How adorable is this one?

Cute beach towels are my weakness! If you really want to take it up a notch, have it monogrammed, and BAM… we just became best friends.
This headband is adorable, and is another item that can be worn throughout your trip.
Cheap sunnies are always the way to go when it comes to a vacation. Let’s face it, you’ll probably lose them after too many cocktails.. and it’s never fun when you’re mad at yourself on vacay!
If you suffer from acne prone skin, this SPF is for you.
I love throwing jean shorts over my bathing suits+ it works great if you’re riding bikes around town!
My Tory Burch Millers are my go to’s in the Summer. They literally go with everything.
one | two | three | four | five | six | seven
Date night requires a cute dress.. and this Free People maxi is- oh so cute! Free People runs big, so I would size down with this one!
Pink nails at the beach are my fav, and this color goes perfect with all my colorful items.
Amazon is killing it lately with the earrings, and these beauties are under $12! Sayyy whatttt??
I’ve found the holy grail of powder… this Charlotte Tilbury flawless powder is basically my BFF. I love using it over my sunscreen + moisturizer.
Tory Burch Millers can be a bit of a splurge… so I found these affordable sandals that can go with all your looks.
one | two | three | four | five | six | seven
I ordered this H&M dress the other day, and I can’t wait for it to get here. There’s just something about blue + white pieces that scream southern chic to me… and I’m here for it. I think popping this fun headband will take it to the next level.
If you’re over seeing everyone carrying a Gucci bag, this Tory Burch one is a perfect replacement. Way cheaper, too. This bag has been my go to lately, and I don’t see me putting it away anytime soon.
I’ll be the first to admit when something is worth the splurge, and my YSL lippie is a lipstick I use over everything. It goes on like butter + smells divine. Shade #44
It’s hard to find a good CC cream, but this one’s great for the Summer. With a light coverage + SPF, it’s perfect for an effortless look by the pool.
one | two | three | four | five | six
Shopbop has my heart… and my wallet. I took this dress with us to New Orleans, and I plan on packing it on every trip from here on out. It provides plenty of room for a food baby (Mama likes to eat) + looks super cute dressed up or down.
You guys wanted more affordable earrings.. and I found these for $3!
one | two | three | four | five | six | seven | eight | nine
Yall also wanted affordable coverups.. and this Amazon dress could be used as both a dress/coverup. That’s a Win Win, right?
I’m forever wearing one pieces, and this one’s super comfy + covers all the right areas.
If you buy anything, let it be these earrings! They’re under $10 and a great piece with any look.
This year I’ve really tried to get my skin in order.. so sun protection is my number one concern. I love that this hat allows you to have your hair up + still allows you to look put together!
I hope these give you some good ideas for your next trip… or even helps you decide on some basics to have in your closet. I love buying things I can use with many looks, so I wanted to remind you guys to dig a little deeper in what you already have. Sometimes you only need a couple of “new” things for your vacation.
