I travel a lot, and by now I have mastered the art of packing, i.e. bring the basics. In another words, I bring only those pieces that I will use and leave the "experimental" pieces at home. To spice up the basic pieces, I really like to go crazy with the accessories when I travel. I use statement jewelry to make any outfit look extra glamorous!

Checklist: My travel essentials for Summer
1. Bathing suit: I bring about seven or more bikinis, depending on how long I am planning on staying at the beach. I like to have an option of always having clean bikinis and that is why I bring perhaps more than necessary.
 |
| I mix and match bikinis for more style options on the beach |
 |
| Black bikinis are flattering and easy to combine with other pieces |

2. Maxi dress: I find that the long maxi dress is the easiest thing to wear in the summer, and it looks great on everyone! Also, I can make my maxi dress work during the evening by adding wedge heels and extra jewelry.
 |
| I love maxi dresses with a low cut back because they allow me to show off my golden tan |
3. Shorts: I wear shorts to the beach, in the city, and out in the evening. If you are not a fan of the super short kind, the longer and slouchier ones can look amazing as well!

4. Easy Tank tops: I always have two loose and two tight tank tops. I like to wear the loose ones during the day to the beach. The more fitted tank tops look great with high waisted shorts or skirts.
5. Flip flops: I have already shared my love for basic black flip flops, and I will say it again-- basic flip flops can be worn anywhere! They are great for the beach, for walking around the city, and even in the evening for a casual dinner/barbecue.
6. Wedge sandals: I always bring an amazing wedge heel that I wear in the evening or during the day if I want to look a little bit more polished. I love comfortable wedges that allow me to walk or dance without my feet hurting.
7. Cocktail dress: I always have a perfect cocktails dress in my suitcase for a night around the town. I love color in the summer so many of my cocktail dresses are red, blue, and orange.
 |
| Little black dress is always a great choice and easy to combine with other pieces |
8. Hat: You may have noticed that on almost all of my vacation photos, I am wearing a hat. I love how a hat can make any outfit look glamorous/interesting. I like straw hats for the summer.
 |
| I love large hats for the beach |

9. Makeup: In my travel makeup bag, you can find a bronzer, concealer, two lipsticks (red and pink), mascara, an eyeliner, and a perfume.

10. Purse: I like to bring one large bag (to carry during the day), and one small bag/clutch for the evening.
 |
| I combine my large black purse with black sandals, flip flops or booties |
 |
| Small purses with a strap are easy to wear when sightseeing |
 |
| Small nude purse is perfect for the day |
