Whether you’re spending your spring break vacay at the resort, the mountain, the beach, the city or anywhere else, one thing is for sure: you’ll want to be styling while on vacation. With that in mind, we’ve gathered up a list of spring vacation must haves that you should definitely pack in your suitcase or your carryon.

  • A stylish purse – the first thing you’ll want to have with you while you’re on vacation is a nice stylish purse you can carry around all day that would fit all your essentials. When choosing a purse to bring with you on vacation, there are things that you should consider. First, the color should be neutral so it goes with all of the outfits you’ve packed for your entire vacay. You’ll also want your purse to be roomy enough to accommodate all of your travel essentials and a little bit of those little impromptu things you pick up from shops along the way. Lastly, you’ll want a purse that’s sturdy enough to hold everything inside.

Last tip: usually, we’d advise you to go for mostly neutrals pieces of clothing items so you can mix, match and combine easier but if you love color, go all out and pack a chockfull of colorful clothes in your suitcase. Just remember to keep your accessories like bags and shoes neutral so they match anything and everything.
