Beach Vacation Packing List

 



I cannot remember the last time I went on a true summer vacation to the beach. When I lived on the East Coast, it was really easy to take a day trip or weekend to the beach, but nothing feels the same as a real week long summer vacation! Especially this summer, I am itching to go on one and put that into inspiration for a beach vacay packing list! Most these pieces, or some variation of them, would be in my beach bound suit case. It is clear I am theme of bows, gingham and blue and white here, haha. 

BEACH VACATION PACKING LIST:

Swim Top + Bottoms | Sunscreen | Dress | Straw Bag

Smocked Top | Espadrilles

White Skirt | Fleece | Pajamas

Sandals (use SARAHFLINT-BALIBBYM for $50 off!) | Sun Hat


-I always think a sweater is essential wherever you go in the summer because it can get chilly at night, and there's is nothing less fun than being cold. I love the DS Fleeces because they also look chic, and are an easy option to tie around your shoulders in case you need it. 

-I big straw tote like this one can also double as your handbag, so you don't need to pack as many bags in your suitcase, etc. I think its perfect for a beach, pool or excursion day, and translates nicely to dinner with a fun outfit.

-I like to be prepared with sun protection, so SPF and a sun hat are always a must on my packing list. 

-Light, flowy dresses can double as swim suit cover ups and an outfit, so having a couple of those with you is always a good idea! This dress and this one are great, too!


As always,

A Thanksgiving Look

Turtleneck  |   Skirt  |   Tights  |   Boots Thanksgiving is only one week away! I am excited to go home, and spend time with my family and friends. This is a holiday that is HARD to dress for. On one hand, you want to wear joggers and a big sweater because of all of the yummy food and treats. On the other hand, you want to dress up, or slightly dress up while still feeling comfy. Hence, the big dressing dilemma: how to create the right look for your kind of holiday? I like to dress it up a little , without wearing a cocktail outfit or gown, haha. I created this look for a dressy, casual look. It is an easy outfit to put together, and I bet you have some similar pieces in your closet! A turtleneck, plaid skirt and tights is such a classic fall look that is also great for this holiday. It is kind of an easy dressing equation too because it is so easy to mix and match what you have in your closet, or buy one new piece that you know will go with an...

Tied with Tartan

  Happy Monday, friends! It is December, and that means you can catch me wearing plaid about every day. I wore this dress the other week, and have showed it on my Instagram, but it is still on sale, so I thought this outfit needed its own post! Dress | Shoes c/o (use libby10 for 10% off at Margaux ) | Headband J. Crew always puts out some of the best holiday pieces, in my opinion. I love all the of the plaids because they just feel so classic and timeless, and I know I will be able to wear them for forever. This new dress caught my eye this year: it is plaid, a shirt dress, AND has ruffles! I was instantly sold, and even more so during their holiday sales. And, it is still on sale- its 50% off with an extra 20% off with code FESTIVE! I am wearing a size small, and it is not too short on me. I do think, as with all J. Crew, that it runs a tad big, so you could definitely size down (I miraculously could have fit into a xs). It doesn't button all the way down, which I think is a ...

My Gal Meets Glam Collection

Hello! You might have already figured this out, but I have a serious obsession with every single Gal Meets Glam dress and collection . I feel like I am starting to grow quite the collection of the insanely beautiful dresses. I recently did a poll on my Instagram, and you guys said that you wanted to see my collection. I have compiled pictures from older posts, and from my iPhone to show you! I have purchased all of these on sale, or received them as gifts (thanks mom). I think getting them on sale is my secret for buying Gal Meets Glam dresses. They are 100% worth the investment, and will always be in style because they are such classic pieces and silhouettes. A new collection comes out about every month, and every month I look at it, and think: I want it all!! The next drop is March 13th, and I am so excited!! I have added the name of each dress below the picture. Because these are from the "older" collections, I cannot find most of the links. But here are my tips if you...
