{what to pack} The Beach Getaway

This week I am posting all about Beach getaways! Why do you ask? Well if you missed Friday's post, I am in Myrtle Beach with my family!  To start off the week let's talk about what to pack for your beach vacation!

Basic Clothes: When packing you want to pack as light as possible, so bringing basics is the way to go. Bring a couple skirts, shorts (denim & printed/solid) and pairs of pants (jeans & trousers.) Then find tops that mix and match.

Statement Pieces: You also want some statement pieces to spice up the basics you brought. This can be anything from jewelry to crazy printed pieces.

Extras: I always plan on bringing a few extra pieces that don't necessarily go with the rest of my clothes as "just in case" pieces. Make sure to have an umbrella in case it rains.  Always be prepared!

Below is a sampling of all those types of clothes:

Bathing Suits: Come back later this week!

Makeup: I would go light on the makeup since you'll be on the beach most of the time.  I will be taking my trusty Chanel bronzer, blush, mascara and Rouge Coco Shine and some eyeshadow for when we aren't on the beach.  No concealer needed for this trip! You also want to have a moisturizer for morning and night. 
[I highly recommend Rouge Coco Shine, it is expensive but I am addicted.  I am NOT a lipstick girl, so what I love about this is it is more like a tinted chapstick, it goes on so smooth you forget you have it on]
