What to Pack for a Beach Trip

by scoop team | June 23, 2015

Getting ready is the hardest part.  Dreams of poolside umbrella drinks and sunsets on the beach get a heavy dose of reality this week & next = it’s time to pack for vacation. If, like many of us, you are heading to the beach and aren’t sure what to wear, not to worry. We have the scoop.  Show off your tan in a pair of denim or patterned shorts paired with a tank and flip flops. Accessorize with a colorful beach bag, statement jewelry and this summer’s newest Flash Tattoos. For an evening look, throw on a tunic or maxi dress. It’s all easy breezy.
