Belles of the Beach: Preparation

Hello lovelies!

Spring break is ALMOST here – just TWO more days. When it’s so close, how do you prepare?

I start planning outfits for each day (like this one!)…

{one, two, three, four, five, six}

I love this look because it can get cool at night in March (even in the tropics), so a maxi dress is perfect for keeping warm but still showing off a newly-acquired tan. The wedges and necklace add pops of color, and I’m absolutely loving the coral of the lipstick and matching clutch.

I also make lots of lists, lists, lists!

 This packing list is a good start, but I like making my own (so I don’t forget the little things: my favorite lip gloss, extra contacts, new sunnies, etc).

Finally, I have to get my body ready, as well! 

I incorporate Crest Whitestrips into my routine the week before.

And for my pale skin…

Self-tanners! Jergens natural glow lotion gradually gives your skin a natural golden glow with each use, and for $9 a bottle, it lasts quite a while. Tan Towel is a bit more expensive ($27 for a pack of ten towelettes), but these wipes are super easy to use and give you a beautiful tan!

Our flight leaves this Friday, but I’ll give you one last update before I leave. This whole packing thing is killing me…

Hope everyone is having a great week!!

Love, Cait

  5. Absolutely LOVE the outfit you've put together! Maxi dresses always remind me of vacation, and those wedges are so much fun! We have Spring Break in a week. My sister is due over ours, so I'm not going to get to go anywhere, but I'm looking forward to the break. I hope you have an awesome trip!
