Memorial Day Getaway Essentials

Today it's all about what to bring on a long Memorial Day weekend getaway, in addition to your favorite swim suit. Packing that includes beach wear is my favorite kind of packing.


Maxi Dress: A maxi dress can go from beach coverup to dinner with simple accessory and shoe swaps. Plus they're comfortable. This time though, I'm thinking it may be too warm here to wear one but I'm bringing mine anyway! A girl's gotta have options.

Fedora: If you recall, I feel like I look horrible in hats... but I'm pushing those thoughts aside and splurged on a Target fedora to try out. ;) They are SO darn cute and a great way to tame beach hair + keep the sun off your face.

Versatile Sandals: I reserve my Old Navy flip flops for the beach but these HAVE to come along. We usually end up eating out one night and they're great to throw on - no matter your outfit.

Beach Bag: A clear, bright beach bag = an instant fun accessory in my opinion. This one goes perfectly with my navy swim suit and I can see what's in it.

Swim Suit: Which really means every swim suit you own. duh.

As I'm writing this post, I realized every item is from Target. Oops! #targetdoesitagain Oh and don't forget the magazines/books and plenty of SPF. Have a great Memorial Day weekend, everyone and don't forget you can follow me on Instagram @feelinggoodstyle (or here)!

6 Perfect Swim Suits For Summer

I can't believe Memorial Day is so close and May is almost over. For the long weekend I'll be jetting (well, driving) to the Bay with friends for plenty of sun, boating and crabbing. In preparation for summer, my hunt for this year's swim suit began weeks ago (as well as working out) but it was pretty hard to narrow my favorites down when Target has so many affordable options!


For swimwear I always turn to Victoria's Secret... but this year's winning duo ended up being from Target (!) and I never knew it existed until I passed it on the hanger in the store. And it was love at first sight I tell ya. I'm also loving a polka dot bikini and oh-so-sweet scallops. Plus, a little fringe bikini never hurt anyone. What kind of swim suit are you on the hunt for this summer?

Stay tuned for another Bay getaway-themed post this week!!
