Summer is in full gear, and I apologize for not updating soon
enough; it has been like at least 20 days! Summer has just been in all systems go pretty much, I basically just got back from two river trips--I love white water rafting-- combined into one! And now I am about to be away again in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico!
Which brings me to the perfect idea of writing about how to wow people, whether it be at the beach, pool or touring around on your great escape to the beach! On that note, it will help you and myself included to know what to bring on such a trip for day to day events! I haven't even began packing--actually currently doing laundry as I type...oh boy... story of my life. Whatever happens, it will still be amazing.
Anyways! Since this is a beach trip, you will definitely be either pool side, boogie boarding it up at the beach, or for the less faint of heart, tanning-- remember SPF is your BFF at the beach or at the pool. SPF=BFF : )
When your at the beach you should definitely not wear a "fru fru suit", you want to be able to move around as much as possible just in case you get an invite to throw football around by some cuties or play frisbee, or go body surf, I know I will definitely be hitting the waves! This is just for your comfort, and so everything stays in place. Try a look at me athletic bathing suit in one of summer's biggest trends, neon! It will make you easier to spot! If you are not into sport like activities bring you favorite book, your Ipod, glamorous shades, and if you are daring enough, go out like J.Lo. with a wide brimmed hat. Also buy a super cute dress cover up for going to and from the beach. Good places to look for beach cover ups are at Victoria's Secret, but if those are too expensive and jersey dress from Hollister Co.'s clearance room will suffice.
When you are poolside is quite similar except you can wear whatever type bathing suit your heart desires. I love girly swimwear with embellishments, my favorite suit has appliqué flowers along the collar line. A little shimmer or sequins never hurt anyone, but don't get carried away. If you aren't flashy go for a chic, sleek all white swim suit, which incorporates another one of summer twenty ten's top trends. Bring the same things to the pool, as you would to the beach. However nix the wide brimmed hat here, you want to look approachable at the pool, plus there should be plenty of palm trees, cabanas and umbrellas to sit under, which the beach is lacking.
While you are being a tourist your comfort and safety level should be at optimal levels. Make sure yo invest in some really cute, yet comfortable sandals. Protect yourself from the sun's rays with not only your bff, aka spf, but with a wide brimmed hat, just like at the beach, and it is an upgrade from the baseball cap, unless you are a dude. But if wide brimmed hats are too much try a funky fedora, and yes guys can wear them to. AS for clothing make sure to just not wear jeans, leggings, or long sleeves--clingy clothing in the heat is a no go. You will just make it unbearably hot yourself, and others who have to look at you. So do yourself a favor and throw on a breezy dress or skirt that is belted to add a boho look to it. Besides the belt accesorize with either earrings or a necklace. Bracelets are welcome with either of these. Don't go to showy with the jewelery, it puts a target on you. Other than that carry other goods with you in a small satchel. Don't forget your shades :)
A night on the town means salsa-ing the night away, at least for me! But whatever a night out means for you, you want to do it in style. It is just like going out back home except you have an ocean paradise as your back drop. So pack your heels, a high waisted skirt, a flirty top, or a jaw dropping dress. It all depends on what you can fit in your suitcase, or in my case, a carry on--yikes, I don't know how I am going to manage puling that off!
Well that is all for me right now considering I need to finish the laundry. Update when I get back from Cabo! I am going to have to do a back to college special for all my college loves at UMD and everywhere else. Oh and the poll is still up and running, go vote por favor!
Love, J'Adore, Amor,
Gabriela Mercedes
