It is FINALLY that time of year again, counting the days until Spring Break! I am totally excited. My Instagram feed is about to get SO good! Get ready for some colorful, pastel, classic pics. My family and I are going to Charleston, South Carolina for the break. I am planning on finding some beautiful backgrounds, visiting unique spots in the city, doing some major shopping and going on adventures with my family. Here are some of the things I am for sure going to bring with me.
1. J.Crew Cropped Pants
I found these on Poshmark during the Winter. Poshmark is a website/app for finding amazing deals on name-brand items, and finding old styles that you can't buy anywhere else. I personally love this site because it is so helpful. I can still wear tons and tonsVineyard Vines, J.Crew and Lilly Pulitzer without spending a fortune. Anyway, these pants are so darling. I love the tiny polka dots and the simpleness of the style makes them easy to put with other pieces. In Charleston, it is cooler in the Spring (depending when you go), so they will be perfect for one of the days. If you're going somewhere super warm, I would not recommend these because you'd get quite hot.
2. Lilly Pulitzer Shift
The classic Lilly shift is always a must. Let's be honest, even if you were stuck on a desert island, you'd still probably need one of these. Lilly shifts are great for any occasion. Specifically dinner on vacay!! I love packing shifts as dinner outfits while on a trip because 1. They are so stylish and fun! 2. So comfortable, while still looking put-together 3. WHY WOULDN'T YOU?! These are eye-catching, simple and sassy. While a Lilly shift is a splurge, I highly recommend getting one because you could wear it for anything.
3. Nail Polish
Yay! Spring is the season of pastels. Well I mean, while living the preppy lifestyle... EVERY season is the season of pastel clothing! But right now, I am talking about nail colors. Every girl needs a mani-pedi before vacay! Whether you do it yourself or go to the salon, pastels are the way to go during the Spring. I personally like the look of white toes, they make you look much much tanner. But for my fingers, I always like pastel pink or pastel turquoise. They look so vibrant, and get you excited for Springtime (or vacation or Spring Break or Summer, whichever you want to be excited for!).
4. Pearls
I feel like this is an obvious one. Every preppy girl owns a strand of pearls! And of course you need to bring your pearls with your during Spring Break travels. These can easily dress up any look and they tend to look really great with your Spring outfits. Whether you have just a simple pair of pearl earrings in, or a bold pearl necklace on, you will look beautiful (like always)!
5. Vineyard Vines Travel Jewelry Case
For your jewelry, you're going to need to put it in something! So, heres a perfect, tiny jewelry case for a short week of travels. I love this little case, it is great for just throwing a few extra pieces of jewelry for your trip, rather than lugging around a large thing of jewelry you won't even end up wearing on your vacation.
6. Marley Lilly Suitcase
Lastly, you're going to have to put ALL of this stuff somewhere. This suitcase is absolutely PERFECT! I got this for Christmas and am so obsessed with it. It is the perfect size for all of your stuff and you look so fabulous rolling this bad boy around the hotel, airport, or relatives' house. It is so durable, and if you are traveling on airplane, you can easily find this when it comes out on the baggage claim loop. So cute, so personalized!
