Okay, so maybe his motive for wearing what we now call a hat was a little more practical than that. But flash forward to last Tuesday and we've got Hayley from San Luis Obispo dutifully upholding the legacy of that illustrious gentleman (who's name we can't recall). Thank you, illustrious gentleman who's name we can't recall. Because of you, we're now the cool kids on the block, hot as all get out in our multitude of hats. To you sir, we tip our caps.

So, then, now that we've had our little history lesson - you're welcome - we've provided you with a homework assignment. Don't worry, it isn't hard. Just a simple click away, in fact. Because you now have the opportunity to continue this ancient tradition so that it may live on eternally. So step on up! Fulfill your sacred duty! Honor the historic innovation that is the hat! Let's not let Mr. What's-His-Name be forgotten!

1. The Explorer Hat

Auto Reply: 'I'm not in the office right now. I'm out exploring the wonders of South America in my new hat.'

The Hayden Panama Hat from Wyeth features a stiff, flat brim, an adjustable ribbon for sizing purposes, and a two-toned braided outer band with tassels - perfect for trekking through the wiles of South America, or, you know, Target.

2. The Embellished Hat

'Oh these feathers? I gathered them from the floor of the Amazon during my latest expedition. Nbd.'

Wyeth's Sloan hat in deep green showcases a mild feather detail set in place with a wide outer band, while an adjustable ribbon hidden in the sweatband locks it into place. No more chasing your hat across the parking lot every time a gust of wind strikes you.

3. The Conductor Hat

'He was such a lovely man, that train conductor, for lending me his hat.'

The Cora Cap from Wyeth is not your typical captain's hat. Set in a soft velvet fabric, feel free to rock this baby during your daily train ride to work, your night about town, or that Christmas party you were invited to.

4. The Ranch Hat

'But of course I carry my lass-o with me. It would be silly of me not to.'

Another Wyeth favorite, the Drew Fedora features a stiff brim with a dyed ribbon and bandana trim duo. An adjustable ribbon under the sweatband keeps that bad boy top-side while you focus on the round-up.

5. The Folksy Hat

'Being an artist is, too, a profession, thank you very much, Carol.'

Give yourself a bit of an edge in our folksy Jordan Boater from Wyeth, boasting a stiff flat brim and a thick pull-through ribbon that ties beneath the chin.

6. The Fashion Hat

'But darling, you said 'dress up.' Do you not see the leopard print? I mean, honestly.'

A classy add-on to your daily look, Wyeth's Nelson Hat includes a delightful leopard print accent in conjunction with its thick white outer band. Meanwhile, an adjustable ribbon beneath the sweatband lets you size things just so for your afternoon tea with the ladies.

7. The Essential Hat

 'I feel like this hat really accentuates my deeper emotions, you know?'

pararrayoscr top-seller, the Billie Hat, is yet another Wyeth staple. Featured in a classic Panama style with a stiff flat brim and a vegan leather band, you can adjust this also with that hidden ribbon underneath the sweatband. Most importantly, though, allow your own personal style to shine through by choosing the color that suits you best. The Billie Hat comes in black, heather brown, chocolate, and taupe.

From satin cheetah print dresses in 90's-inspired cuts, to furry zebra print cardigans you can wear all day, every day; from full-length leopard print gowns, to snakeskin print turtlenecks, you'll be rocking the full Safari getup all the live-long year. And while, for some of you, it may seem daunting to exhibit yourself in head-to-toe wildlife ensembles, there are tamer ways to rock the animal print as per your personal preference.  

Today, we're going to share a few helpful tips on how to wear animal print: primarily, how to incorporate it into your daily routine in subtle, sophisticated ways, meanwhile upscaling to bolder, wilder looks when you're looking to dominate whatever stomping grounds you call your own particular Savannah.

So let's get started.

 1. The Neutral Animal Print Look

While many would say that animal print is the focal point of the outfit, they would be right, at least in part. It is a print, after all. That very fact means that it isn't your average plain white tee. It's meant to draw attention. However, animal print may also serve as a neutral gateway for incorporating color into the outfit, or for specifically not. Either way, the options are there, and you get choose which route you wish to take.

Our Safari Cami boasts a large zebra print, which, as we all know from Kindergarten, is a print solely featuring black and white, making it the perfect base to build your outfit upon. These two popular neutrals can be added to with a poppin' red silk skirt or some satin pumps. It can be paired with navy blue skinny jeans or topped with an olive blazer. As for jewelry, silver and gold are both acceptable. Or if you prefer wild, leathery, feathery, tooth-inspired pieces, these, too, go well with the already savage nature of this outfit. 

Here, we went a different direction, the one of simple elegance. Partnering this zebra print lace cami with the Maldives Pant, our ever-popular wide-leg trouser that now comes in black (you're welcome), we've turned this outfit into a 100% neutral look. And yet, as you will notice, it starkly differs from what would ordinarily be considered neutral. It's neutral, yet bold; simple, yet sophisticated; minimalistic, yet a full, complete outfit. Et voila! The neutral animal print outfit is achieved!

2. The Office-Appropriate Animal Print Look

If you're like us, you work for a living (shocker). So most likely, you're looking for work-appropriate outfits that are fun, unique, that really cater to your own sense of style - i.e. you don't want to be boring. We get that. No one wants to be boring.

That's why we've chosen pieces that are not only glowing with personality, but ones that are also versatile enough so as to wear them to work, to your Saturday coffee date, to a night out on the town, you name it. And with a wardrobe full of such easily-interchangeable items, you'll find yourself mixing and matching, able to create all-new outfits that keep your style looking fresh every single day.

Our Medusa Top is the perfect statement piece that'll carry your workplace outfit. Featuring a tie front, bishop style sleeves, and a mocked turtle neck, this blouse can easily be worn on it's own. Or if you're incorporating this into your suit, the light, airy fabric makes it easy to wear under your trusty blazer.

In addition, our Stevie Skinny's are a comfortable, non-denim, slacks-alternative option for sprucing up your workplace outfit. With a bit of sheen to add a little flair, wear these with a pair of stilettos to elongate the legs. Add in a long blazer for a more professional feel. 

3. The Date Night Animal Print Look

Just to clarify, when we say 'date,' we mean any variation of a get-together, be it with the boo, or the besties. Whatever social outing you're venturing off to, this look's for you. So with that, let's begin.

Now that we've gotten the neutral and workplace-appropriate outfits out of the way (oodles of fun as they were), we're on to the statement piece, the one playful pop that is the all-star quarterback, front runner, the Mick Jagger of this Rolling Stones outfit.

The Fierce Mini dress is all that the name implies. Featuring a cheetah print design in a bias cut silhouette, this silky spaghetti strap dress will be your all-time favorite. It's cowl neckline and cut-out back let you show off some skin, and yet it can easily be converted to a cold-weather outfit. Simply slip a white turtleneck and a pair of sheer black tights underneath, and you'll be rocking the date look well into the winter season. 

We've paired this 90's-inspired slip dress with a soft, faux leather blazer, a swanky black clutch featuring a gold chain strap, and a pair of cat-eye sunglasses for the ultimate playful look. No off you go and enjoy whatever date you've got lined up! Go on, scoot...

4. The Fancy Animal Print Look

What was that, you said? You want more? Well it's your lucky day. We have here the ultimate evening animal print look, the 'I'm off to so-and-so's penthouse suite for the after party' look. And even if you've never had a so-and-so who's penthouse to wear this to, just wait. It'll happen. In the meantime, though, this works perfect for your anniversary date, your evening out with the ladies, that Christmas party you were invited to - any occasion you can find to treat yourself like the powerful goddess that you are. Because what's more alluring than snakeskin draped around your curvy figure in the form of a wrap bodycon mini dress? Nothing, that's what.

The Medusa Mini Dress features structured shoulders and a deep v neckline. A sleek wrap detail gathers at the smallest part of the waist in order to showcase your feminine figure. Meanwhile its soft stretchy fabric helps to keep you nice and comfortable all evening long.

We've added in a tan clutch as an accent piece. In addition, do as we have done and don your favorite pair of metallic pumps, throwing in a splash of bling with some sparkly hoop earrings. In an outfit like that, you'll soon find yourself a penthouse, don't you worry. 

5. The Comfortable Animal Print Look

We've gone to work, we've been about town, we've gone on dates and to all the penthouse parties. Now it's time to wind down a bit. But that, in no way, means dressing down, you hear? 

We want to cozy up, we want to be comfortable, and we also want to be cute. Is that too much to ask? Of course not. Why choose when you can have it all, right? That's the attitude we're looking for. 

Our Coco Maxi Skirt is ideal for comfort. Long, flowy, featured in a metallic rust hue, pair this skirt with your favorite belt, some peep-toe sock boots, even a pair of lace tights if you're really feeling it.

The upper portion of this outfit is where our animal print comes into play. We've chosen a zebra print cardigan to keep you nice a cuddly warm. Wear this over our famous Fonda Bodysuit, featuring a deep v neckline and a knotted front detail. Top the outfit with a pair of feather earrings, and you've got yourself a lovely, comfy, altogether chic safari look.

Until next time,

pararrayoscr

Today, we're going to go over the basics - the glamour 101 crash course, if you will - on how to add a bit of sparkle back into your wardrobe, a type of glitzy glamour that fully accentuates your outer beauty while showcasing your inner playfulness as well. We'll teach you how to trade those cheap rhinestones and plastic pearls into exquisite pieces of jewelry picked out just for you. Watch that fairy tale gown you wore every single day (except on laundry day) transform itself into the highlight of your wardrobe. Just so, the glitter you once sprinkled over you like pixie dust now comes in all-new forms; and while you may not look exactly like Cinderella, we guarantee you'll feel just like a princess in the end.

So with that, let's give ourselves a little 'Bippity Boppity Boo,' and away we go! 

1. The Romantic Look

One of the key elements of glamour fashion is romance. Search for romantic outfit ideas that compliment your own personal style, and the glam will follow suit.

What are romantic outfits, you ask? Here are a few things to look for:

1. Silk (or silk-feel)

Texture is a key aspect when choosing the perfect outfit. Finding a fabric with a bit of a sheen to it will instantly boost the glamour factor, and the connotation between romance and silk is uncanny. It's the ideal choice when it comes to romantic fashion, particularly in your search for fancy fall outfits or fancy winter outfits this holiday season. Thus, if you're searching for the proper go-to fabric, look no further.

2. Dark Florals

While texture is huge, pattern is also a major player in the field of romance. We recommend a dark, dreamy floral that works for fall and winter fashion, as a rich, ethereal look boasts a lovely glamorous feel. It provides enough mystery and playfulness that people find alluring, which is exactly what we're going for! So spruce up your holiday fashion this year with a good floral outfit such as our Heavenly Maxi Dress. You're sure to turn more than a few heads at this year's Christmas party!

3. Bell Sleeves

Baggy sleeves? What? No. BELL sleeves. There's a difference. And it's noticeable, trust us. Typically, when people think of a wide sleeve, they envision an overflow of fabric that sucks them inside like a giant trash bag, hiding their figure altogether. However, the beauty of a bell sleeve is that it cinches at the wrists, providing a structured flow of material that's incredibly feminine. Don't believe us? Here's an example...

One of our favorite looks is a long flowing maxi dress with a belted waist. Take our Heavenly Maxi Dress. An adjustable wrap dress, this piece highlights the smallest part of your waist; and believe it or not, those bell sleeves help to showcase that tiny waist all the more. You see, yards of fabric is, in and of itself, a form of glamour...if it's done right. Find the pieces that complement your figure while giving off the impression of a mythical nymph floating across the room, and you won't go wrong. So the next time you think of discarding the possibility outright, why not give those bell sleeves another try? You might be surprised.

4. Deep V Neckline

Whether you're donning a dress, a romper, a sweater, or a blouse, a classic V neckline will accentuate your decolletage, which is arguably the most alluring aspect of the feminine physique. Equally playful and sexy, this romantic style will earn you countless points in the glamour department. Top it off with a tiered necklace or a chunky wreath necklace for an additional pop. It'll draw just enough attention without being gaudy (or if you want to be gaudy, go with the tiered necklace AND the wreath necklace. Sometimes layering your jewelry is all you need to make an 'Everyone look at me!' impression).

2. The Evening Look 

There's something about black that's terribly sensual, and for a glamorous evening out (to a party, dinner, the movies, etc.), we recommend a noir outfit with a touch of glitter for that ultra glammed-up look.

Some people think that in order to be glamorous, one has to go 'all out.' But in truth, all you need is one or two statement pieces that stand out from the rest. Build your outfit around that one center piece, and you'll be one step closer to achieving glamour status.

For this look, we partnered an off-the-shoulder sweater with a sparkly maxi skirt. Gathering at the wearer's natural waist, this skirt flows outward in a perfect a-line, elongating the legs while holding true to one's feminine figure. As it is the focal point of the outfit, further accessorizing can be kept at a minimum, if that's your preference. Part of the science behind glamour is maintaining a less-is-more mentality. Therefore, in picking your items carefully, you create a fuller, more well-rounded look. #achieved

3. The Wild Look

If you're a spunky individual like us, you'll want a type of glamour that fits in well with your delectably brazen personality; and what better way to accentuate said personality than with bold colors, metallic fabrics, and animal-inspired pieces? Congratulations! You're in luck!  We went ahead and rolled out our favorite fashion ideas to keep you looking fierce as all-get-out this holiday season.

Our number one statement piece for this outfit comes in the form of an orange pleated skirt featuring a metallic sheen for an additional glow. It's festive sunset hue makes it the focal point of the outfit.

Next, our deep v-neck bodysuit features a halter neckline to show off a bit of skin. We picked one in classic black, but it comes in taupe as well, an equally subtle, yet glamorous choice, if you ask us.

As the temperature drops, you'll want to bundle up a smidge, so why not do it with style? We've chosen a button-down cardigan in a fun zebra print design to give the outfit a bit of texture. As we're all aware, animal print is a sign of chic sophistication, a constant go-to when searching for a glamorous outfit. And we say: the more exotic the print, the better!

You don't need an entire collection of jewelry to pair with every outfit. These simple and inexpensive jewelry staples are the 'must-have's' for your jewelry collection. Seven pieces. Infinite outfit possibilities.

What was that, we heard? Did you just say 'Sign me up?'

That's what we thought you said.

1. The Zodiac Sign Necklace

Starting with an everyday staple, a personalized zodiac necklace will catapult your basic, understated necklace to a whole new level. We love this as an everyday necklace to add personality to a graphic tee or work outfit. Pick your constellation or zodiac sign in a beautiful gold or silver. 

These constellation necklaces are simple, elegant, with just the right amount of 'Here I am!' without having to scream it out to anyone who happens to pass by. Because let's face it, we're ladies.

2. The Simple Ring

There are classic gold hoop earrings, and then there are boho gypsy hoop earrings that automatically spice up your outfit without the hassle of having to rearrange anything. Simply swap them in for the perfect not-your-average-basic accessory. You'll be glad you did.

Our lightweight golden hoops are two-toned for a bit of texture, featuring a wide, unique shape and post backs for support. Pair them with a basic t-shirt and jeans, a 70's style outfit, your elegant maxi dress, or your last-minute 'gotta go in to work' look. Whatever the occasion, you'll want to keep these handy at all times. They just might save your (outfit's) life.

4. The Gold Statement Necklace

The secret to a good statement necklace is a mere one word: versatility. Find that one piece (at least) that's just unique enough to stand out in a crowd, yet also versatile enough to pair well with any outfit. Be it an all silver necklace, an all gold necklace, a multi-colored gemstone necklace, or even a woven choker necklace, find what works for your style and wear the crap out of it.

For example, do you mainly have high necklines in your closet? Perhaps a long pendant necklace is the perfect look for you. Or if you like to showcase your decolletage, this double-tiered gold coin necklace may be a better fit. Gauge what suits your wardrobe best and pick your statement necklace to match. 

Tired of all the basics? Maybe you're more of a make-a-grand-statement kinda gal, and all those (seemingly) standard styles are just a bore? Well for all you princesses out there, we have an extra something special just for you.

The tip on finding the right bold earrings that work with everything is to snag them in an understated finish such as silver or bronze, or as we have done here with gold dipped in black. The design is where you're going to want to go bold, as it's that design that'll carry your wardrobe into the next level of sophistication. 

These dangle earrings take on a leafy design that's comfortably lightweight. You won't even know you're wearing them! In fact, the author of this blog post, yours truly over here, has these in her wardrobe. And guess what? She gets compliments on them all the freaking time. 

6. The Gemstone Ring

We love a good statement ring to top of any outfit. And this moonstone detail ring is no exception. Adding just a hint of mystical romance to your own personal style, this 14kt gold-filled ring is subtle, dainty, and interchangeable whether you're going out or staying in. The inset gemstone gives this ring a modern boho vibe. Meanwhile, the mixed metal and stone is an inexpensive way to add a more luxe look to your outfit.

7. The Silver Hoop Earrings

Let's not forget those silver lovers out there! We have our very own silver hoop earrings picked out gloriously for you. You're welcome. 

Featuring a two-toned matte and shiny finish, a post back enclosure, and a rounded hoop shape, these particular earrings take on a modern bohemian look that's sure to put all other hoops to shame. These particular small silver hoops are appropriate for an everyday outfit, work outfit, or a cute farmer's market look.

The crisp clean look of white denim counteracts the blazing sun and radiates a blissful summer attitude. It's sure to pair well with all your summer outfit ideas.

For something with a little pop, choose a fun high-waist pant with a button fly enclosure. It's not overly flashy, just enough to say, "Why yes, I did put a little thought into this, and aren't you a dear for noticing!"

There are bell bottoms and then there are these bell bottoms. Compliments of Free People, these ultra high-waist, raw hem denim trousers take the cake on "too hot to handle."

Pair this Seaport Jumpsuit with your favorite patriotic tee; toss into the mix some killer cowgirl boots for a truly all-American look.

The Jumper

"Talk to me, Goose." If you've got the need...the need for speed, that is, then this one's for you. But fair warning: if you leave the aviators at home, then you might as well forget it. Why? Because the Danger Zone requires them and that's a fact.

The Swimsuit

Yes, a swimsuit is an outfit, especially on the 4th of July. And we've got a whole slew of patriotic swimwear to help you rise to the occasion (and then some) this year. Simply click the link below that says, "All Swim" to choose from our collection.

All Swim

The Basics

Summer is not Summer, nor is the 4th of July a proper 4th without a classic graphic tee and a pair of iconic cutoffs. And of course, a bottle of coca-cola is indeed an acceptable accessory to such an outfit as this.

Happy 4th of July from Yours Truly,

Hands up if dressing for the in-between seasons isn’t exactly your forte. You’re not alone. This time of year, predicting the weather is a full-time job. One day you’re shvitzing in 80-degree heat, the next you’re shivering in a subarctic climate. Who can keep up? To avoid a morning meltdown, you need a trans-seasonal wardrobe stocked with layering pieces that can handle anything Mother Nature throws your way. Because let’s get real: There’s more to layering than slapping on a cardigan and calling it a day. 

THE JACKET

This is the only jacket you need in a transitional wardrobe. It's versatile, lightweight, and always pulls your look together.

Minimalism is all well and good in theory, but we prefer a maximalist approach for our summer wardrobes. Because, let’s face it, sometimes more is just more. Have you ever met a woman who owned too many dresses? Exactly. Here are 7 easy breezy summer dresses to usher in our favorite time of year. Summer Friday, here we come!

When Ralph Lauren sends a tie-dye evening gown down the runway, you know this psychedelic 60s print is making a major comeback. If you’re not quite ready for rainbow hues, dip your toe into the sartorial waters with a muted pastel.

Memorial Day is the unofficial start of summer, and you know what that means—we’ve got places to go, things to do, and people to see. But, first things first. We need a three-day weekend wardrobe that kicks off the season in style. Whether you’re happily hammock bound, or your itinerary is booked up to here, we’ve rounded up the best Memorial Day outfits that’ll prepare you for just about anything.

Denim is a style staple at backyard BBQs, but these high-waisted patchwork jeans take it to a whole new level. And, guess what? They’re under €100! That’s our little secret.

Did swim season sneak up on you? Let me give you the CliffNotes: It’s a fashion free-for-all. I’m talking polka dots, one-shoulder, ruffles, high-waisted, stripes, belted, you name it. But the one thing we can all agree upon is the one-piece swimsuit. This classic silhouette has been making a comeback for a few seasons now, and it’s officially here to stay. The best part of all? It flatters every shape and size. So long teeny bikini.

The iconic red one-piece swimsuit was popularized by Baywatch in the 90s and received a sleek overall for 2018. The cage-front detail adds a hint of skin without revealing too much.

We recently took a trip down there for a fun photoshoot, which will be shared soon (you can get a sneak peak of some of those pics on our Instagram). We wanted to share some of our must-see destinations in Palm Springs. Below, we have a list of our favorite things to do, hotels to stay at, and places to eat!

Must do in Palm Springs:

1. Visit the Andy Warhol exhibit at the Palm Springs Museum. You will not be disappointed. They have the largest display or original works, many of which are from his early years and not even recognizable as his work. Get inspired - check it out!
2. Chill poolside! That’s what it’s really all about, right? Year round 70+ weather. When it’s overcast somewhere else you better bet it’s sunny in Palm Springs. Soak it up and chillax.
3. Take a bike ride down Palm Canyon Drive to check out all the vintage shops and art galleries. You will see everything from days of the old Palm Springs to new pop art. It’s Palm Springs - anything goes!
4. While I haven’t yet done the tram ride I hear it’s a must. It’s on my next trip to do list. Make a day of it, pack a jacket (it’s a good 20+ degrees cooler up there) and enjoy a casual lunch at ..... while you soak in the views.
5. If you’re a festival goer and you love EDM definitely check out Splash House. Twice a year (June and August) they throw a big ole pool party at the Riviera and Saguaro hotels showcasing some of your favorite DJs and artists. Two years ago I had the pleasure of seeing Rufus Du Sol at their after hours party at the Air Museum and it was the best concert I’ve ever been to. Be prepared to get up close and personal with your favorite artists!

Must Stay:

1. We love Alcazar! I found this little gem some years ago when it went by another name. The new owners swanked it up opened a few restaurants (Cheeky’s and Birba) and changed the name for the better. It’s our number one best value in town. Just about every room is poolside, so no parking lot views here! 
2. Arrive - Located on the north end of Palm Canyon in the newly updated design district this place lives up to its name. You step in and you truly do feel like you’ve arrived! To heaven that is...the layout, the food, the poolside tunes, oh and the fresh juice bar are all divine. Don’t even get me started on the rooms! They are our favorite, masculine mid century with the most beautiful showers you’ve ever seen! 
3. The Avalon is a boutique hotel with amenities of a resort hotel. A restaurant, a spa and 3 pools (one is adults only) you almost never feel the need to leave the hotel. This hotel is also walking distance to downtown so if you do decide to leave your a 2 block walk to everything. 
4. Staying at La Serena Villas is like taking a trip to a bohemian paradise. This Mexico inspired boutique hotel is less than 2 years old. The gorgeous decor will have you wanting to redecorate your house so you feel like you’re on a permanent vacation! 
5. Make friends at The Colony Palms! By far the friendliest hotel we’ve stayed at, you’re sure to make some new friends hanging by the pool all day. The restaurant is also delicious, you won’t be disappointed with anything on the menu. 

Must Dine :

1. Grab breakfast at Cheeky’s! Be prepared to wait at least 30 minutes, however it’s 100% worth it! They have the best gluten free waffle and 4 flavors of bacon (I’m sold on the cinnamon apple bacon) Be prepared to be addicted!
2. Poolside dining at the Avalon. The butternut squash Risotto is perfection and the ambiance music is on point.
3. Evening cocktails at the rooftop bar at The Rowan Hotel. This brand new hotel dawns a poolside rooftop bar with fire pits for cool evenings and a gorgeous view of the mountains.
4. Homemade secret recipe ice cream at the Arrive Ice Cream Shop(pe). Enjoy unique flavors like avocado, Coachella valley date and rose water. 
5. Drop some moolah at The Workshop. Probably our priciest pick, but the ultra cool vibes and superbly mastered Old Fashioned make it a must splurge!

 It’s that time of the year again; Spring Break! For those who are preparing for their weekend getaway, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered for packing all your essentials. We’ve created a printable checklist for you!

 Although traveling is fun, packing can be very tedious. If you’re like us, you might find yourself packing the night before and throwing clothes all over the floor. Stress no more, pararrayoscr has the perfect packing list for you! Continue reading below to learn how to pack for your weekend getaway.

Toiletries

You’re getting ready for the day and end up digging through your entire suitcase looking for your toothbrush, and after realizing you forgot such a simple item, it looks like a mini hurricane hit your hotel room. One of the most overlooked items when packing is your toiletries. The smallest items are always somehow forgotten.

Even if you are checking in your bag on a flight, it’s easier to buy TSA approved shampoo, conditioner, lotion, toothpaste, skin care, etc. to fit in your suitcase. That way you are saving space in your bag and can easily dispose of the products after your trip. Packing minimal will keep you more organized and allows you to have more room to bring back souvenirs you’ve purchased on your vacation!

Here are some recommended TSA approved traveling kits, skin, and hair care products to think about purchasing before your Spring Break:

OUAI Desert OUAISIS Festival Kit

Clothing

Taking a vacation or weekend getaway can be so exciting and overwhelming at the same time. You constantly look every day on your weather app to see how hot or cold it will be on your trip so you can plan out outfits for each day. You pace back and forth in your room for hours trying on different clothes and searching your favorite clothing brands for the perfect top to style with your skirt you haven’t worn since last summer.

Packing your clothes can be the most exciting part about getting ready for your trip and you may try to style yourself more than you normally would at home. However, this does not mean you need to take 15 shirts, 8 bottoms, and 6 pairs of shoes on a weekend getaway (I’m exaggerating of course). Learning to pack minimally will save you loads of stress and a lot of room in your suitcase so it’s lighter!

If you think about it, there are plenty of ways to style one simple t-shirt. So, find your way of styling a few of your favorite tops with different bottoms and vice versa! Also, something I like to call a packing hack is DRESSES! All you have to do is find the perfect sandals or heels that match with 2-3 of your favorite dresses and you’re all set. This will save you a lot of room in your suitcase so you don’t have to end up sitting on top of it to zip it up!

Here are some of our fav tops from the store that you can style in multiple ways for your trip:

CARVAN TOP

FREE SPIRIT TOP

SAYULITA TOP

Just remember, less is more.

Miscellaneous

Ahh, yes, some of the most important items of your trip are in this section. Leaving your phone charger behind is one of the saddest things that can ever happen. Or forgetting your wallet at the house and just remembering as you’re arriving to the airport.

As you’re preparing to leave the house, make sure to use our simple checklist to remind yourself that you have all the essentials for your trip. We hope this inspires your next weekend getaway.
