Summer Series: Vacay Packing



Emma Roberts

I don't know about you, but I'm going on vacay, woo-hoo! Dreaming of vacation and all the things you plan to do is alway fun, but the not so fun part is packing. Not matter what it is a hassle deciding what and what not to bring, especially since it's not good to carry thousands of bags. Of course you need the basics such as toothbrush/paste, undies, pj's, etc., but how much "other" stuff do you need? Here's some tips about figuring out exactly what to bring.

1. Create Outfits! Putting together outfits before hand help to lighten the load and keep your bags organized. It's okay to bring more tops than bottoms, but make sure there are mix and match outfits between everything.
2. 2 Go To Shoes! Bring a pair of tennis shoes and a pair of sandals as essentials. If you must brings heels or flip flops to go to the beach, bring them! Just remember sandals are always comfty and tennis shoes are good in all types of situations.
3. Inexpensive jewelry! Never bring expensive jewelry, tour favorite jewelry, or anyting that will get you bent out of shape if you lose it. Try bringing neutral accessories that go with anything in a box so they will all stay together.
4. Make-up bag! Only bring your must have make-up, not your whole collection. All you need if you must wear make-up is mascara, lip gloss/chapstick, and foundation.
5. A small purse! A small purse is best for vacation, it can carry your money and personal items. A big bag contains too many things and only weighs you down.

What are you packing in your suitcase? Do you have any tips?

Summer Series: Hot Hair

Lauren Conrad

Ashley Benson



Shailene Woodley

Summer gets extremely hot and sometimes it's too much to have long locks hitting against your body. Summer is also the best time to try out new styles, especially for your hair. I love how Lauren Conrad keeps her long locks all year round and is always finding new ways to spice it up. Lauren's hairstyle above is very easy to do and gets your hair out of your face. You can either french braid a section of hair backwards or simply just braid two sections and clip them back. So simple! Ashley Benson took a major chop of her long wavy hair and it is super edgy, just what she is going for. The natural wavy hair and messy aspect is the best part of her new 'do.  Short hair can be very versatile just like long hair because it can still be curled, braided, pinned, anything! It also prevents you from being even more overheated! Lastly Shailene Woodley goes trendy by pulling her hair up into a high bun that can either be messy or slick, whatever look your going for! A bun is very versatile because it can work for both formal and casual occassion and also helps when your in the process of growing out your hair.
