Ready For The Desert Sun!

I know it hasn't been that long since I last traveled, but GOOD LORD I need a vacation. Good thing tomorrow Ram and I are heading off to Scottsdale for long weekend in the desert!

Scottsdale is a special place for us - it's where we went on our very first vacation and I look forward to going back there every year on Memorial Day (see last year's trip!). This year we are staying at a beautiful new hotel and I can't wait for a whole weekend spent laying in the sun, swimming in the pool, eating at some of our favorite AZ spots, and kicking off summer right!

As I like to do, here's a little group of things that are coming along with me in my suitcase :)

ONE:

How cute is this chambray skirt? I love the washed-out blue shade and the buttons going all down the front.

TWO:

I'm not one for impulse purchases but I saw this gorgeous beaded necklace for sale on a cart in the mall the other day and had to have it! Love this shade of pink - it'll dress up any plain sundress or tank top.

THREE:

Some of my warm weather essentials: my go-to Hawaiian Tropic tanning cream/sunscreen combo, a bright reddish pink nail polish for my toes (Essie Sunday Funday), and my hands-down favorite, Moroccan Oil Body Oil Mist, which smells ridiculously good.

FOUR:

I showed off this adorable Anthropologie otomi makeup bag/clutch last week and I couldn't be more excited to wear it out on vacation! 

FIVE:

Still loving my Tory Burch sandals. They are super comfortable and the studs add juuustttt the right amount of edge.

SIX:

This is my favorite bathing suit - I own it in pink and now this pretty mint color. It's INSANELY comfortable and the colors are so saturated and bright. I wasn't familiar with the brand - La Blanca - before, but now I'm a big fan. 

SEVEN:

Ram bought me these beautiful Kendra Scott earrings for Valentine's Day and I love the bright turquoise shade. Can't wait to wear them all summer long!

EIGHT:

My new favorite travel-must: a portable iPhone charger! This cute heart-printed one is from Bando and charges my phone whenever I'm on the go.

NINE: 

I picked up a couple of these silky tanks at Old Navy the last time I was there - they are awesome staples! Lightweight, comfortable, good for work and weekend alike... I got blue and black but the bright colors are really beautiful and vibrant!

AH! Can't wait for some fun and sun. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
