Happy happy Friday, friends!
As we make our way home later today from ACK to DFW, I thought I’d share my favorite things I brought on our trip today! From packing essentials to make our travels easier to pieces I brought to wear, it’s a trip inspired Friday Favorites. As always, I’m linking up with my friends Andrea and Erika .
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!
You guys, I created this list and shared it last year, but I think it bears repeating…
…again today! My Ultimate Beach Trip Packing List has everything we brought for our beach days this week. Make sure you take a look if you’re heading somewhere warm this summer. This list also includes how we pack (packing cubes are a must!) and all the specifics of what makes our beach days easier and more fun!

Speaking of packing essentials, just another reminder that I lived out of these two things this week…
I blogged about this bag here last year for my toiletries/hair stuff. Over the last 12 months, I’ve probably traveled 12 times and every.single.time I’ve used this and…
…this bag for my makeup. My mom told me about this bag in September when we were in Boston. I bought it, used it and loved it so much that I even gifted one to all of my girlfriends for Christmas! It is the BEST way to travel with your makeup! I use the 20 inch version.
Here is another find from my suitcase this week…
…I really wanted a rain jacket with some link to keep my bum dry should I need to sit down BUT I didn’t want it to be heavy, thick and hot. I am SO PLEASED with THIS JACKET! I bought it TTS.
Speaking of J. Crew, this week, I also LOVED this cotton tunic. It was the perfect coverup. I love it so much that I think I might purchase it in a second color too. Again, it runs TTS. My flip flops are also J Crew. Both items are currently on sale!
I had several questions about what I ran in this week…
…this is that Lululemon dupe I’ve shared with you before! I’ve worn this thing so many times, and it still looks great. My sneakers are HERE and I’ve LOVED running in them! My tank is HERE.
Finally…
…’tis peach season, y’all! Make sure you check out my Perfectly Peachy Recipes today! I have everything from peach salsa to a peach burger, desserts, salads, tacos and more!
Happy Friday, friends! I hope you all have the best weekend! I’ll see you here on Monday! xx

I can’t wait to read about your trip to Nantucket! And I ordered the Supergoop glow sunscreen and I can’t wait to try it for this summer since I hardly ever wear makeup

I took your advice and finally ordered body suits from Abercrombie…..OH MY GOSH! I LOVE THEM! They’re so comfortable, it’s like yoga pants for your top half LOL. They look so great and I have this great skirt that is really pretty together. Thanks so much. Opened up my wardrobe options.
Mix and Match Mama says
YES!!!!!! Isn’t the quality amazing?! I think so too!
Stacie says
What size did you purchase in the cotton tunic?
Mix and Match Mama says
xs
Shannon in PA says
Getting ready to pack for a vacation and I bought the travel organizer for toiletries that you suggested. That is perfect for all of my stuff, but what do you do for all of the rest of the toiletries for your family? I always struggle with bringing too much!! Thanks for any advice!

Andrew packs his own things, but my kids are easy. They take a toothbrush (I buy a fresh pack of four before we leave), toothpaste and then if we’re staying in a hotel, they get so excited over hotel soaps, shampoos and lotions, so they use that. If we’re in an Airbnb, we’ll bring that stuff.
Shannon in PA says
Got it — thank you so much, and happy summer!! 🙂
Carole says
Great tips! I have been looking for a travel organizer for toiletries. Do you find this one takes up a ton of space in your bag? I’ve used a Vera Bradley one in the past, and it was just huge. So I tried multiple smaller bags and didn’t like that solution either.
Mix and Match Mama says
I don’t! It fits nicely in either my carry on bag or my suitcase!
Keri says
Love those rubber bracelets!
The white ones you are wearing with the crew tunic. Can I get a link?
Mix and Match Mama says
They’re from BuDha Girl!
Nicole says
How far do you typically run on vacation?
Mix and Match Mama says
Four-ish miles!

#2 Drawstring makeup bag…GAME CHANGER!! I bought it after you shared it a few months back and have used it for a few trips. Love it!!! And have gifted it a few times too!! Thanks for the tip!! 20″ is the best size- the others are too small even though they look like they will work;)
