Memorial Day Beach Weekend

I couldn't be more excited for the upcoming long weekend and unofficial kick off to summer. That extra day makes such a big difference, and it makes way for a fun weekend getaway. I'm looking forward to hitting the beach, and hopefully some boat time as well while taking in the sites of the beautiful blue water. My weekend will consist of bathing suit wear and fun in the water by day, and grilling and s'mores by night.
Beach Weekend
Summer weekend getaway essentials:

Scallop Bikini - Target
Sunscreen - always practice safe sun!
BB Cream - ain't nobody got time for full makeup at the beach, and bonus points for this one containing SPF
Sunnies - for the beach and the boat
Fun tees to wear over bathing suit - Kerri wore the cutest tee to my pool party last weekend that said "Beach Please". Perfect bathing suit cover-up!
Beach hat - further sun protection for your face and neck
Beach Spray - to stay smelling fresh in the heat. This one even has soothing aloe in it!
TB Beach Towel - cute accessory for the beach
bkr Glass Water Bottle - Neiman Marcus (I'm starting to drink out of glass bottles instead of plastic due to the toxins).
SkinnyGirl Margarita Minis - perfect for the beach
Striped Weekender Bag - Target

What are some of your holiday weekend essentials?

  1. I'm dreaming of a beach getaway, hopefully it will happen soon. I just hate dealing with the awful traffic in this area. Today is supposed to be one of the worst traffic days of the year, yuck!

    Love that bathing suit, bag and the BB cream. It's one of my everyday uses, so light and it works really, really well. Girlfriend you had me at the smores, oh my goodness, all the smores!

  22. I always have a white thin hoodie or sweater jacket. They can be thrown over any outfit (in case of rain, unexpected chilly temperature, etc.) and still look okay. And bobby pins. You never know when you will need one.
