Happy Thursday, friends!
Believe it or not, it’s time for my annual…
…SPRING BREAK PACKING GUIDE 🙂 .
Every year, I share all the fun tropical vacation finds I’ve purchased to take with me on my own trips. I have a sunny destination in store for me this spring and should you have one too this spring break, spring or summer, here’s a little look at what is going into my suitcase.
Per usual, there are many different retailers and price points below. It’s an eclectic mix!
Anyone else ready for some sun?!
ME, ME, ME!
Alrighty, here we go…
…how cute is THIS SET?! I am absolutely in my “sets” phase right now. I bought it in an xs, and the shorts were a little long for me, but I rolled it once at the waist, and it worked perfectly! If you have longer legs, the length would be really good for you too. This set comes in other colors too.
Every year, I also buy…
…SANDALS FROM TARGET. They are always so comfortable (they’re padded!), so cute and last all season long.
This year, I saw that my FAVORITE JEANS…
…come in A PAIR OF SHORTS too!
SHORTS + TANK + SANDALS for sunny days!
And ONE MORE PAIR OF SANDALS because they really are the workhorse of my spring and summer uniform.
With THIS CROSSBODY too!
As you know…
…I have bought, loved, used, and RAVED about THIS BEACH BAG for years and years and years. It comes in so many different colors (brights and neutrals), has a gazillion pockets, can hold a ton without getting damaged, and is only $17.
IT IS THE BEST!
This year though, I decided to try something new but similar…
…and for only $15, I bought THIS ONE. Same zippered pocket inside, same pockets on the outside, but in a fun neutral. It also comes in other “neutral” options too.
Adorable.
Speaking of adorable…
…MY TANK + THESE GAUZE PANTS! Perfect for a coverup 🙂 .
The GAUZE PANTS come in other colors too.
Just a reminder…
…Kensington and I both love our Tkees!
And if I had to pick my #1 item for warm weather vacations, you already know that it would be…
…MY BEACH HAT 🙂 . You guys, this hat is indestructible. It’s $26, and I have legit taken it all over the world. It’s been to Indonesia. It’s been on two cruises. It’s been to Nantucket and the Bahamas and St. Thomas. I don’t even baby it. I just put it in my suitcase and bam, it shows up to every destination ready to go. I LOVE THIS HAT!
Bonus, but you know I also love it because it comes in multiple size options and my big head needs options 😉 .
Alrighty, two cover up options for you this season…
…THIS COVERUP comes in many other colors too!
I like the waffle knit!
I also bought…
…THIS COVERUP too!
And I love MY NECKLACE too!
And those are the things I bought for my next tropical vacation. Should you be heading anywhere warm soon, hopefully, these finds will help you get ready too!
I went back and checked items I loved last year and here’s what’s still in stock and available in case you want a few more options…
…this CROCHET COVERUP was one of my favorite coverups from 2024..and I still pull it out all.the.time. This is the perfect option if you’re looking for something crochet but don’t want to spend a lot of money on a trend. It also comes in several other color options too.
This…
…is a Free People “dupe” ROMPER that works great over my swimsuit!
See how it’s a romper underneath? So cute!
I also love THIS VISOR because…
…it’s adjustable, so it fits perfectly and is easy to wear.
…TANK plus THIS SUPER CUTE SKIRT.
Speaking of which…
…WHITE TANK + TROPICAL SKIRT for the win on a beach vacation!
And I know, I know, I know, BUT IT IS THE TRUTH, I am literally wearing both right this minute as I type this sentence…
…THESE STRAPLESS BRAS and THIS UNDERWEAR. They are truly the only ones I wear. I have worn them both for Y-E-A-R-S.
So, whether you’re going somewhere warm for spring break or later this spring or even this summer, that’s a wrap on my annual packing list.
If you have no plans yet want to get away, CONTACT MY TRAVEL AGENCY! It’s never too late to plan a trip for YOU!
I hope you have a SUNNY day, friends!
I will see you back here tomorrow! xx

What a great sunny post to offset this NE TX dreary day!! Happy Thursday everyone!
Genevieve says
What size did you take in the White gauze beach pants? The link says large but I don’t think that can be right.
Mix and Match Mama says
I bought them in XS!
Cher says
There are so many things in your post today that I think might work for me. Time to do some shopping. Thank you Shay for the great ideas!
Diane Moore says
I ordered those white gauze pants immediately!
Just what I looked for all last summer 😁
Kristen says
Makes me SO ready for sunshine! I’ve seen you share the hat so many times – I think I’m finally going to need to grab it!
Kerry says
Would you mind sharing where your office desk is from? Thank you.
Mix and Match Mama says
Restoration Hardware!
Leslie says
Love the black romper. Looks so cute. Question, the link takes you to a romper that is just a romper, not a romper underneath. I’ve been meaning to ask this for awhile because I always click when you post this item, but am always confused by what’s being shown to purchase. Help : )
Mix and Match Mama says
I wish I could, sometimes, the link always defaults to something else. I always put the correct link in the post…it just doesn’t always appear that way. Urg.
