Bikini bunch
The central glamour on the beach spots is the necessity for bathing suits. Making tiny and lightweight swimwear pretty crucial for those few days of laid back life. Mainly chilling, tanning, reading or just sipping on cocktails and taking naps while vitamin D boost is at its best. Pack a few sets of bikinis in your favourite style of one piece, two pieces as well a high-waist cut. Bingo.., it will get you sun-kissed ready from dawn to dusk.
Bringing up the shorts right after swimsuits since that is what you team up with your one-piece or even bikini tops. This is an area that won't make you overpack. Just 2 denim shorts in 1-white, 2-blue would be sufficient enough. it could be distressed, high-waisted and keep you comfortable with your sneakers, the ones you use during the flights.
Bling flats
Don't fool yourself by packing heels for the beach vacay, like no one wears heels on the beach along with resort dresses. Not even models and to be totally truthful, people are usually barefoot on the beach to feel the wet sand and waves of the ocean. Flip flops with a trace of bling or flat chappals are as committed as it gets. No matter what you pack out of fancy. plus your travel sneakers might need extra pairs of socks just to wear and repeat for fun and adventure.
A flirty dress
For evening dinners, randomly planned dates or moon night parties on the beach. This choice requires little thinking ahead, but typically 2 easy flowy dresses, with ruffles or tassels hint towards the feeling of a tease. clever to pack and stick to something off-shoulder, halter or backless so it can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion.
Toiletries
This is where one needs to get less greedy and more sensible, with the kind of hospitality that has been chosen to indulge in. If your hotel provides you with basics then all you require is reliable sunscreen Lotion and body spray, good hair spray and rich lip balm which has natural pigment in it. Good deodorant and perfume which is more suitable for tropical weather. On beach holidays one naturally has a good glow... Leave heavy-duty make-up at home and pick a waterproof foundation and SPF light. Think of make-up that enhances your tan such as strong waterproof mascara, eyebrow soap and filler, a little shimmer bronzer, nude lip tints, eye shadows that are towards gold and bronze and peachy pink blusher. This will be good enough for your anytime look.
The least favourite part of travelling somewhere warm is that it can be damn hat, jokes apart you CANNOT pack it in the trolley, they will get ruined/squished. But let's be slightly Italian or maybe a little French here. One must carry (please don't forget on the plane) in hand or swing it on your handbag, wearing it on your head throughout might challenge a person of interest in you.
Sunnies
Sunglasses have so many characters to play in life. But this time we will use them just to cover our eyes from the sunlight. May carry one for the sunset parties if it's not too dark to flaunt in the evenings. Slim and wide sunnies are the most flamboyant for the season but yes if one wishes to make a statement then go for oversized sunglasses to compliment your skin tone. The perfect cover-up for under eye situations without make up and let's avoid eye contact to keep it private. Our Indian beach places like Goa, for all you know, will have a wide circle of friends and acquaintances to keep you busy exchanging glances.
PJs
1-2 should be it, right? And go for a nightie or big t-shirt to save space. One can always plug the bathroom sink and start hand washing on alternate days. Oh, and if you carry a pair of PJs maybe a cotton Ganji will be the perfect choice to throw along.
Something big-ish, Jude-ish and boho-ish chic that can double as a handbag while on the plane and the beach. It can have your most important pouches of a first-aid, your favourite book, your reading glasses, your mini eye pad, maybe your most cherished scarf, your vitamins and your wallet. Many people throw in small vanity pouch of undergarments that are easy to excess including female hygiene products.
If the travel bug has bitten you hard, you’re not alone. Whether you have an actual trip planned or you’re dreaming of a beach jaunt sometime in near future. It's never too early to start planning how to master less burden. It must feel relaxed, slightly retro in dressing choices, and something which can put you in a gateway state of mind, even if you can't get away just yet.
