The countdown is on, my friends, spring is only a few weeks away which means many of you will be packing up and heading for warmer climates. I for one, have already started thinking about (and purchasing) items that I will need for when I am on vacation. The nice thing about traveling to warmer climates is that you pack lighter items, which allows you to pack more! I definitely have a packing issue because I never know what my mood will be when I arrive, so I always end up putting half of my closet in my suitcase.
To try and alleviate this issue, I have started making a list of "Spring Break Essentials," which I will be sharing with you over the next two weeks. This first post specializes solely on items for the beach (my favorite type of packing!).
- A good beach towel: I am a towel addict! When I find a good brand of beach towels I tend to stock up. Now I'm not talking about any old beach towel, I need a heavy duty towel that will keep me dry but also provide a little added cushion/comfort for when I am laying out catching some rays.
- Flip Flops: I don't know about you but I can't wear nice sandals on the beach, they are just too uncomfortable. Give me a good old fashion rubber flip flop and I am happy.
- Bathing Suit: Duh, need I say more. Check out my favorite ASOS bathing suits here.
- A Beach Cover-Up: I've been on the prowl for one this year, something light and comfortable that I can wear over my suit when I am walking to the beach or headed to the pool bar!
- Beach Tote: Perfect for carrying all your beach necessities. I'm a sucker for totes that have a vacation theme... seriously loving the Kate Spade one above.
- Sunglasses: Again, duh. You can see my favorite sunnies here.
- Hat: I can lie in the sun for hours on end but every once in awhile my face needs a break from all the rays. A baseball cap is a great way to keep the sun out of your face but still look good!
What do you like to bring to the beach with you?
I love that cover up - I never seem to have very cute ones!

Prep on a Budget
Great essentials! I also usually bring a frisbee or football to toss around on the beach and some good sunscreen!

SUCH a cute cover-up. I love cover-ups for the beach. A nice big beach towel is a MUST! I prefer mine monogramed!
