Whether you’re headed to the slopes, the coast or overseas this Spring Break, you’ll want to bring a backpack or tote packed with vacation essentials. This is no simple packing list, but an informative “day pack” recommendation list. Below you will learn exactly what to pack for your respective vacation, so your 10 day break isn’t spent making to the store to pick up what you forgot.
the BEACH
If you’re lucky enough to escape Kansas’ cloudy spring and travel to the coast, carry this beachy Anica Bag from Revolve — spacious enough to hold all your essentials. Pack this waterproof mascara for touch-ups throughout the day and to avoid runny raccoon-eye mascara while swimming at the beach. And, as sunglasses are as much of a fashion statement as a necessity at the beach, don’t forget to pack an extra pair in your bag so you’re never stuck without them. There’s no better way to relax than listening to music on the beach. With this waterproof Bluetooth speaker, you’ll have care-free music all beach day long. Lastly, these flowy cheetah print shorts work perfectly over your swimsuit on the way to the beach or while simply exploring the coastal town.
EUROPE
If you’re headed overseas, you better be ready to venture European streets all day. Keep these items in this beaded clutch to be prepared for any surprises an international trip can deliver. Not even Apple Weather can perfectly forecast Europe’s unpredictable weather. Pack this pink raincoat in case Mother Nature brings her vengeance. Next, roam the backstreets of Europe in these crocodile style sneakers that combine fashion and comfort. You never want to get lost in a foreign country with a dead phone, so be sure to carry a portable charger and outlet adapter for reliable power.
the MOUNTAINS
When hitting the slopes, a race to beat the lift before closing to make that last run of the day might be just as hit just as hard as a burger at the base — minus the mountain food prices. Here are the essentials to pack in your backpack to make the most out of both. A water bottle and SPF Chapstick are necessities while skiing to avoid altitude sickness and wind burnt lips. These mini boots will relieve the discomfort from torturous ski boots and the sunglasses will protect your eyes from the harsh sun glare from the mountain snow.
