Pack a Banana
Before you jet off on your exotic spring/summer getaway, consider the power of the bold, tropical accessory. Many practical packers think you need to stick to neutrals to keep it simple...a beige sandal, a beige bag, and basic sleek jewelry. That's fine, but it's not fabulous. A tropical vacation calls for vibrant color, but do you really need to buy another floral sundress you will be sick of by next year? Why not mix it up by putting the spotlight on the accessories? Whimsical tropical jewels, a vivid straw carrier, a colorful Panama hat, or a pair of pom pom gladiator sandals won't just enhance a basic beach look, they can also start a conversation. For example, this embroidered beach tote from Maria's Bag was hand-woven by Guatemalan women with a passion and talent for the ancient Mayan weaving traditions. Statement-making add-ons like these banana baubles can also become a signature accessory for a vacation's entirety and the memories you make on the trip will be forever tied to these pieces. Just some fashionable food for thought--calorie free.
