Spring Break Essentials

I doubt she needs an introduction, as Carly, the College Prepster, is everywhere. In addition to her wonderful blog, she has a popular Tumblr and a weekly e-newsletter, Prep Talk, which covers everything from life lessons to recipes to fashion (the latter being shameless self-promotion, as I happen to write one of the fashion columns for Prep Talk). I'm so thrilled for her to be guest-posting today while I'm rehydrating on a beach in Puerto Rico, because she's an awesome person and blogger. So, without further ado, Carly!

                                                                                                                                                                     

I am loving J. Crew's new spring line. As I've mentioned on my own blog, College Prep, it's not quite the "Old J. Crew," but I really do like some of the more recent looks.

J. Crew right now totally allows for one-stop shopping. Everything you could possibly need for a spring break trip all under one roof. I'm all about making things easy... and this is easy peasy.

Spring Break look from head to toe:

1) Classic Straw Fedora
2) A.R. Trapp Troubadour sunglasses
3) Stila Lip Glaze
4) Polka Dot bathing suit
5) Timex traveler watch
6) Essie nailpolish (Peepshow)
7) Filson totebag without zipper
8) Irena gladiator sandals

The carefree neutral colors of the accessories really lets the melon colored bathing suit pop! While you're packing your bags for whatever spring break destination, pack about 90% neutrals and 10% color and then mix & match throughout the trip!
