While Aaron and I have no plans to head to the beach until September, I am always in vacation planning mode. I mean, who doesn’t want a vacation? We only live 2.5 hours from the beach, so I am hoping one weekend we can sneak away to Wilmington and maybe stay at a B&B or something. I love the beach- fruity cocktails, sunkissed skin and the ocean breeze. What’s not to love?
When Aaron and I first met, he said to me “Im not really a beach guy, I like the mountains” I thought, “okay weirdo, who says they don’t like the beach?” That was before my first “Mountain vacation” and before he started working 80+ hours a week and found that the beach is actually quite enjoyable. Now we like both 🙂
I also love packing for the beach. It’s so much easier than packing for somewhere cooler or more adventurous. Throw in some sun dresses and cover-ups and BAM, you’re finished. Above are some of my must have packing accessories to accompany those coverups and swimsuits. And remember, don’t forget the sunscreen and a hat (skin protection is important y’all). I picked up a panama hat from J.Crew a few weeks ago, but I am loving the price of this one too! Oh, and can I just mention how adorable Shopbop’s beach accessories are. Those beach balls!
What other items are your must haves for beach vacas? What am I forgetting?!?
Hope you all have an awesome weekend!

I went to school in Boone so I can appreciate both the mountains and the beach! We are living in Raleigh and you are right… it is still hard to find time to make it to Wilmington. My goal for this summer is more spur of the moment day trips! I love your picks for vaca accessories… especially the fun bags and hats!
