Sequins and Sea Breezes: Travel Sized

Travel Sized

7/22/2015

Happy Humpday lovelies! Hope everyone is having a fantastic week so far! Me? I've got travelling on the brain. So much so that I actually had an entire different blog post scheduled for today and I rescheduled it and wrote this one instead! I don't do nearly as much travelling as I'd like, although every time I do travel I get super sad about leaving my pup behind so maybe that's part of the reason, but with my trip to Charleston just around the corner I'm starting to think about what I need to pack! Me, Amanda and Biana leave for Charleston in exactly two weeks tomorrow and I couldn't be more excited to get a nice long weekend with these ladies and meet some Charleston bloggers I've felt like I've known for ages but never actually met before! 
So in the spirit of travel and my upcoming mini vacation I decided to share with you my travel essentials and maybe you can share some of yours with me!

Getaway Necessities

 
1 // A good weekend bag is a definite necessity for a weekend getaway. Loving this gold dipped striped one!
2 // I cannot go outside without sunglasses unless it's raining so sunglasses are a huge must for me. These are so cute and on super sale! I think Biana might actually even have these!
3 // Evian spray is a must after a plane ride to refresh. 'Nuff said there!
4 // The same goes for a good chapstick/lip balm. The air on an airplane is so not good for the skin and my lips always end up getting dry.
5 // Since I'm not checking a bag a rollerball perfume is perfect for a carry on and it makes it easy to touch up after the flight. My girl Kerri has me hooked on this scent!
6 // Good headphones are a must-have on an airplane. If your neighbor decides to strike up a convo with you and you're not feeling it you can just pop these in and call it a day! I've been lusting over these for over a year and for that price I might have to give in!
7 // I mean, does this even need an explanation? Of course you need a kick ass camera while on vacation! This isn't my current camera but I'm seriously lusting after this one. 
8 // I don't go anywhere without a hair tie so this one isn't really fair but especially needed on an airplane. If I'm going to try to take a nap I need to put my hair up and sometimes you get stuck on the tarmac for awhile and it can get a little hot waiting to take off. 
9 // Hello iPad! Just in case you want to do a little reading, social media stalking or just simply playing games! And how freaking cute is that case?
10 // A cute makeup bag isn't really a must but I mean... it's so adorable! How can you say no?
11 // Last but not least... a great purse that can transition from day to night and not take up too much space. RM bags are definitely my favorite for that and it's on sale!

SO fun that you're going with 2 other bloggers!
