POP SUGAR

1. Favorite scarf! I chose this Richard Weston, Agate, silk scarf.

For me, a classic scarf is a “must have” favorite travel item. It performs so many functions - from head wrap, to evening throw, to sarong.

2. Sunnies: Karen Walker - Patsy Sunglasses and Number Six.

I always travel with multiple pairs of sunglasses. It is an easy way to mix up a look, and add a personal style note.

3. New lingerie: Dolce & Gabbana - Rose-print silk, balconette, bra & briefs.

What girl doesn’t like to feel fresh and luxurious. Spoiling yourself with new underwear is always a must before a vacation. It’s your secret, little confidence booster!

4. Beautiful Bikinis: Vix Senegal Embroidered Bikini + Lisa Marie Fernandez Lauren Bikini . When I travel, it’s often to the beach, so I always find new bikini’s that are sexy and fun. I love all of these, and I know I’ll be spending most of my time wearing them.

5. Shorts: Ksubi Alberceque Cut Off Shorts :

Here is a perfect pair of black, denim shorts. Ksubi makes it easy to look hot.

These can be worn casually to the beach, or dressed up with a cool shirt. for a relaxed night out.

6. Dress: Indah Crochet dress:

Dresses are my favorite on vacation. They are comfortable, chic and feminine.

7. Bag: Spell And The Gypsy Collective Dreamweaver Crossbody bag:

I love anything made by Spell. Whenever I wear Spell, people always comment on their amazing designs.

8. Purse: Rebecca Minkoff Triangle Perf Mac Bag :
Neon punch adds a fun pop of color to any outfit. It always looks great in tropical settings.

9. Lipgloss: Stila Stila Long Wear Liquid Lip Color Lip Gloss, Caprice :

Kissable lips. Who doesn’t love them? Keep them looking luscious.

10. Hair: Bumble And Bumble Surf Spray:
This product is excellent. It helps give you that effortlessly, tousled, hair. Spray it on wet or dry, and let it work it’s magic.

11. Sandals: Diesel Women's Splish Sandal + Rebecca Minkoff Bettina Neon Flat Sandals :
Everyone needs at least two pairs of shoes for a trip. These are my picks.

You can never have too much jewelry. I usually pack an extra suitcase full of it. (Hey, I never said I was low maintenance.) Here are some gorgeous pieces from a few of my current favorite lines: De Petra, Vanessa Mooney, Mania Mania, & Spell.
