It’s that time of year when I feel a strong pull to a tropical climate. Between my nostalgia for spring break and the persistence of NYC winter, my motivation to get out of town is at an all-time high. Hopefully, by the time you’re reading this, I’ll be laying on a beach with a book in hand—and here’s exactly what will be in my suitcase.
Whenever I’m packing for a beach vacation, I gravitate toward bold colors. I don’t typically incorporate royal blue, Kelly green, and pink into my everyday wardrobe, but on vacation, it’s a different story. Below, you’ll find my favorite bathing suits, matching sets, and sand-friendly accessories of the season.
