What To Pack For Your Memorial Day Weekend Getaway

Not sure what to wear Memorial Day weekend? Don’ttttt you worry – I’ve got you covered! I’m off to Miami (I swear this is my last trip to Florida!) on Thursday for one of my best high school girlfriend’s bachelorette party! I haven’t been to Miami in two years so I’m so excited to return to the infamous South Beach, dine at some of Miami’s best restaurants and hang out at the pool with my girlfriends. Of course you should follow me on Instagram and Snapchat to stay up-to-date with my holiday weekend shenanigans.

Whenever I pack form a warm weather getaway, I  try to pack versatile pieces so I can stick to a carry on suitcase and not have to check my bag. P.s. How cute is this Bric’s suite case? I still need to get one of those. Anyhow, these pink tassel earrings scream Miami, this cross-body clutch has been on my radar for the second summer in a row, I spotted this embroidered cotton dress from H&M on ad here in New York and so happy I found it online (plus it’s only $49.99). I’ve blogged these white tassel earrings several times this spring & you really can’t beat the $45 dollar price point. Nude heels are a must for Miami. This orange and white stripe cabana towel is a no brainer. And since you all know off-the-shoulder tops are my favorite thing right now, I couldn’t include a roundup without one! Insert this bright yellow off-the-shoulder top from J.Crew. Shop all of my favorite weekend getaway essentials below! Have a great Monday, ladies.

Chasing Summer: Surfs Up

Surf-Board-Inspiration-R1

I have to admit, I’ve never gone surfing in my life. It’s always been a bucket list item for me so hopefully one day I can make it happen. However, I don’t let this hold me back from appreciating the culture. I absolutely love surf photography! Who’s with me?  In case you’re also in to surf photography & books, I’ve rounded up a few of my favorites below.

I have two out of these three surf photographs. One Kings Lane also has so many great surf photography options. V. into this vintage photo and this one. Coffee table books  are another great way to incorporate the surf culture into your home – I’ve added LeRoy Granni’s book to my coffee table book que in addition to Surf Club and Surfing Photographs From The Eighties by Jeff Divine.

You can shop my favorite surf photography and coffee table books below! Surfs up, dude. 😉

Your Summer Shopping Guide

With the official kick off to summer right around the corner, it’s time to get our butts into gear, ladies!

Summer-Shopping-Guide-For-Girl-On-A-Budget-R1

Memorial Day will be here before we know it. Although it doesn’t quite actually feel like summer is ever going to get here (it’s currently 46 degrees here in New York) I’ve created a summer shopping guide for you (and myself, of course) to keep us in line when it comes to online or in-store shopping. I’ve rounded up 9 different categories that are a must-have in my opinion: off-the-shoulder tops, Illesteva sunnies, Chuck Taylors (or any white sneakers will do), white jeans – duh, a straw bag, sandals that can take you from day-to-night, a floral dress for any occasion and a colorful one-piece for your next beach getaway.

Shopping for a new season can take a toll on your bank account so I tried to include pieces for every budget. I love creating lists of must-have items for a new season because as I mentioned, it helps keep me (and my bank account) in line. If you know where to shop and what key pieces you need, shopping for summer will be a piece of cake! Let’s get to it, shall we?

You can scroll through each category below by navigating with the right and left arrows under each category. What’s on your shopping list this summer? Have a great Monday, friends! Xo. Lauren
