Beach Essentials: What to Pack

Hi Everyone!

It’s been a while since I’ve posted because I have been enjoying a little R&R in Punta Cana! I went down for a friend’s wedding that also happened to be my birthday so I decided to just enjoy being with friends and not worry about anything else. I have to admit, I loved the break! Sometimes it’s good to relax and not worry about posting schedules or bringing the right camera lens. It was incredibly beautiful and the salty air was much-needed.

I will be getting back to my regular posting schedule soon. In the meantime, I wanted to share a quick shopping post with you highlighting a few of the things I took with me on vacation. Several items are even on sale!

I hope you all had a wonderful Labor Day Holiday! What did you do for the long weekend? xo Bryn

My Packing List:

– I stocked up on black bathing suits because they are easy to mix and match and they feel very chic. My favorite is this darling Marysia Palm Springs two piece. I am obsessed with all Marysia suits because of the scalloped edges. I also love this halter style.

– Since the one piece has been such a big trend this summer I decided I needed one. I bought a solid black from Solid & Striped and now I want one in every color! It was so comfortable!

– I brought my favorite skirt worn in this post as a wrap to wear with my one piece. It was such an easy way to dress up my suit to go from pool to dinner.

– This maxi dress was one of my favorites for throwing over my suits or for exploring the resort. It is incredibly comfortable and I got so many compliments on it!

– Even though I packed several pairs of shoes, I got the most use out of these Mango knotted sandals. I also brought my trusty Chanel Espadrilles for my travel days.

– A couple of months ago I got on the waitlist for this Cult Gaia bag and unfortunately it did not arrive in time, but I highly recommend getting on the list for this bag because they go so fast!

– You can’t go to the beach without a great sunhat and this one from BCBGMaxAzria is one of my favorites. It was the perfect complement to my black suits and I love the added details of the tassels.

    I have been seeing that bag everywhere lately and I’m in love! It’s so adorable for the beach or a warm vacay. Hopefully I can convince myself that I need a tropical vacation asap!

    I love my one piece too!!!! I find I’m always light on the shoe front, and over pack on the dress front. It’s a constant battle I’m yet to win when packing 🙂

    Oh my gosh Bryn, you have the best style, I loved everything in your beach bag. Especially the Marysia swimsuit- although I wish they didn’t have such a hefty price tag! I’m glad to hear you had a wonderful trip, and happy birthday!
