It’s not often I get a girls getaway. Last year I traveled quite a bit due to my long distance relationship but this year since the bf is in Iraq (not exactly an ideal travel destination) I decided a girl’s getaway is just what the Dr. ordered! It had to be somewhere close since I don’t have a lot of time so…next week I am off to Vegas!! Now for the real fun! Wardrobe, beauty prep and travel planning!!
I decided to chronicle the planning to share the fun! Or maybe bore you to tears…hmm. I guess we’ll see!
Part 1:
WARDROBE!!
The first part of planning what to pack is figuring out the weather, activities and length of trip. First I went to weather.com and saw that Vegas is suppose to be 83 degrees. (um…pool time!!!)
We are going to be there for 3 days and 2 nights so I know I can pack pretty light. The activities are going to consist of lounging by the pool (drinking Mohito’s) going to dinner (drinking Mohito’s) and hitting the happening nightspot (probably having some more Mohito’s!) *note to self: pack Tylenol for hangover*
a.) Pool side:
The necessities are bikinis, cover up, hat, beach bag and cute sandals that slip on (no straps please!) I am a bit of a diva when it comes to wearing the same bikini everyday so I will probably pack 3 🙂
Why yes, I am aware my clothes are a wrinkled mess but I am packing them anyway! 🙂
What’s in my beach bag: SPF (duh) Magazines, a book and my ipod will also come along. Always better to have and not use than wish I had. A protein bar to keep my blood sugar steady, Purell is also key (those bathrooms are GROSS) and a wallet with my necessary items (ID, cash and CC)
b.) Dinners/bar hoping:
I decided to keep it simple with some fun dresses. After spending the day at the pool I want my night outfits to be effortless. Let’s be realistic, after drinking by the pool all day who wants to fuss with their outfit? Getting ready is hard enough! I chose fun accessories to keep things current and colorful for spring 🙂
Stay tuned tomorrow for Part 2: the beauty prep!
