Cause We’re Leavin’ On A Jet Plane: Spring Break Out Edition



We’re almost through the tunnel and about to see the light—Spring Break light that is—and with the glitter of hope that winter is almost to an end, the tranquil thoughts of a beach or vacay getaway are the sure things to get us through the next three weekends.
For any traveling fashionista it’s important to keep in mind a handful of items that are sure staples for any trip you might have store. You may be still dreaming of an island getaway or a quick weekend out of these winter blues—but we’ve got the skinny of everything you need to survive this spring break-out time of year, so you won’t be caught a fashion mishap.
Hold Me Steady, Totes Away!
Whether it’s a weekend getaway to your favorite cabin in the woods, or a beach bound holiday with your favorites—this tote is perfect for any occasion and is durable to hold up to any of your needs. From a carry on to a beach bag, you’ll have all your necessaities right at your fashion finger tips! What I love about the oversized totes is that they not only serve as a convenient piece of extra luggage, they’re also the perfect vacation bag to store every last minute neccessity you can’t be without! Extra make-up? Check. Three wallets for all your extra cash? Check. Extra pair of clothing just in case luggage is lost? We got you covered.
Water, Water Everywhere
Skiing with the family one last time or underwater adventures, we all know the perils of make up that wears off after just one hour or can’t handle your vacation conditions.  Water-proof make-up, like above, will keep you glam and fresh round the clock and it will minimize the amount of time you’ll have to spend re-applying.  Three cheers for staying beautiful 24.7 and not looking like a sea creature beached onto land while you try shamelessly to flirt with the college boys paddle-boarding.  Beach make-up should never be over the top, and with the perfect waterproof mascara, and clean eyeshadow, you’ll score points on every level.
Oh, Fleece Me Over 
 Next to planning where you should go, the second hardest thing to plan is what the weather will actually be like upon arrival.  Next to always have a pair of jeans in your luggage, a cropped fleece throw-over, such as this Patagonia pullover. Whether you’re a traveler on the go or need something warm once the sun goes down. This piece is my go to item for any kind of traveling; it’s not only comfortable but still looks like I made the extra effort to dress decent even if I am trying to catch a 4 am flight.  Fittingly designed in a pleathora of colors, this fleece also offers a more feminine fit so you won’t look as though you stole your boyfriends favorite sweatshirt just to have something comfortable to wear mid flight.
A Floral Arrangement
Walk into any store these days and you’ll be knocked blind by the amount of floral that’s bombarding the scene, and lucky for us these colors are the perfect accent to any summer dress, or simple outfit.  Evening out on the town? These beauties even double as a shawl. The great part about spring inspired scarves is how much extra “oomph and ahh” they add to anything in your wardrobe. Only brought a pair of jeans and simply V-neck for the weekend? Add one of this and look how you’ve transformed you’re dull daywear into a Fashionista approved getaway.
Pucker Up Beautiful
Everyone knows one of the most critical necessities in your pocket should be gum and some form of lip balm.  And for the fashionista on the go I cannot stress how important it is to not only keep your lips fresh and shiny, but also give them some much needed color to spruce up your whole face.  Enter Lancome’s take on every women’s go to beauty item—their desirable lip gloss collection allows you remain subtle but fierce with a variety of colors that keep you glowin’ from head to toe.
