A cute pair of sunnies can instantly upgrade your swagger. Experiment with different colors, shapes, and gradients:

3. Wedge Heels:

I’m always an advocate of a wedge heel that will offer comfort while making you look tall and svelte:

4. Statement Jewels:

Dress up your simple tunics with long necklaces, sparkly earrings, and big bracelets:

5. Lightweight Tote:

Cart your summer reading and important docs in a lightweight canvas tote that will reflect your fashionista spirit:

6. Flats:

Run in between terminals or saunter around the beach in a pair of stylish flats:

7. Swimsuits:

Pack your standby bikini and one piece, but also look into suits with cut out styles or embellishments:

8. Waterproof Makeup:

Look fly by the poolside in products that won’t smudge with a splash of water or sweat:

9. Cute Carry on:

I hate checking bags, so have invested in colorful yet compact luggage that can fit all my essentials and pop into an overhead compartment:

10. Summer Reading!

I can’t wait to turn into my newest issues of the New Yorker and Vogue on the beach, and of course I have fash-lit (“The House of Gucci“) to read on the plane! Summer is all about getting time to read the bomb novel, so get it poppin!

I’m off to pack!

In the meantime, tell me where your travels are taking you this summer;)

Smootches!
