Ah, March. The true beginning of spring and more importantly, the month of Spring Break. This year I will be heading south of the border on a Mexican Riviera cruise with some of my friends, and naturally that means a few shopping preparations must be made!
The main thing I'm in search of: a new swimsuit. Living in Southern California you learn there's no such thing as having too many swimsuits, and the chic modern tribal prints of Mara Hoffman are a personal favorite of mine, lately. Perfect for tanning on the lido deck or when we dock in Cabo.
Sunglasses are always a must, but especially when one is tanning from sun-up to sun-down.
Rompers are another warm-weather vacation necessity, since they can work as one-stop pool cover-ups, easy outfits for excursions and activities, or you can dress them up and wear them to a lovely dinner on the beach. Same can be said for a flouncy cami top.
Jean shorts are perfect for the pool and beyond, and since I have a few in the usual blue, perhaps a black pair would add some sophistication to the off-duty staple. Likewise, a pair of criss-cross slide sandals are just as easy to slip on and off as a pair of Rainbows, but perhaps a little more stylish. A backpack is an easy way to keep belongings together safely.
And a cute charm bracelet because why not?
Check out the sidebar for these and other items on my monthly wishlist.

*Thank God It's Spring Break!
After the most dreaded month for high school seniors, Spring Break could not be more appropriately timed. I don't think I could have made it through all the stress, the rejection, the excitement, and the self-doubt without knowing that at the end of the month I would have a fabulous week off when I could completely rejuvenate. I feel like I need a spa day or something after these past few weeks.
Now that March is over and I have a break off, let's celebrate the joys of vacation, beaches, swimsuits, and SUMMER! Only two more months of high school and then summertime babayy!!

Guess who's going to college! THIS GIRL!
And maybe because I've got university on the brain I turn to a coveted collegiate tradition: Spring Break. Of course high schools have breaks in the springtime as well, but there seems to be something almost magical about having to take a break from college, which seems so otherworldly and sophisticated right now, but I know is basically just like high school with new people (or not, if I end up going to UCSB, because that is like my high school 2.0)
Well, whatever age you are, whatever you are taking a springtime break from, let's celebrate with some fabulous vacation wardrobes full of sunshine-ready clothes! I've got Palm Springs on the brain for two reasons: Indian Wells Tennis Tournament and Coachella. I wanted to go to both and can go to neither, so I will live vicariously through these two metaphorical suitcase checklists. The first one is everything preppy I would wear to a tennis tournament, and the second is my dream Coachella getup, because you know, the things you wear to Coachella are infinitely more important than the acts you see. (LOL JK)
