Haute Island Getaway: Day 6- Packing Tips

day_6

Good Morning readers and welcome to Day 6 of Haute Off The Rack’s Island Getaway.  Before we wrap up travel accessories and get back to resort wear outfits, I have a few more vital packing tips for you!  Just read the captions below the photos.IMG_1996_edit

Pack your best metallic wedges and nude or cognac sandals.  They are guaranteed to match with everything!

Bring a small assortment of clutches and wrap them in their dust bags or wedge them between your scarves or other soft materials in your suitcase to protect them.

Don’t forget to secure your jeweled sandals in their dust bag to prevent them from snagging any other pieces of clothing in your suitcase.

For embellished skirts and shorts like these two pairs from Zara and Loft, make sure to wrap them in tissue paper to protect the beading or embellishment from getting ruined.

Stuff your floppy hats and fedoras with your socks or bathing suits and place upside down at the top of your suitcase to help maintain its shape.

Travel Accessories: Shop Gigi New York & Elaine Turner 

Between Gigi New York, Graphic Image and Elaine Turner, you can find all of the travel accessories you could possibly need to help you stay organized throughout your vacation.

Good Morning readers and welcome to Day 5 of Haute Off The Rack’s Island Getaway. Today is all about swim, sunnies and travel accessories.

Packing Tips for Swim:   In order to give yourself a variety of options to choose from, you must pack interchangeable bathing suit tops and bottoms.  Choose a few prints and colors and that you can pair with each other and wear multiple different ways so you never have to wear the same bathing suit twice- or at least that’s what everyone else will think.

If you’re bathing suits are really busy looking, pack a neutral-colored coverup that will match with all of them unless you can find a color or print that complements all of your bathing suit options.

Packing Tips for Sunnies:  I don’t know about you, but I always seem to break or misplace my sunglasses so I have now resorted to only wearing inexpensive sunnies with the exception of my Warby Parker sunglasses which were only $95 and for a good cause.  No, really though they were for a good cause!  Anyway, I highly recommend picking out a cute cheap pair of sunglasses that can tag along with your designer shades on vacation.  This way you’ll have a pair that you can wear in the water or during excursions and you won’t lose sleep if they happen to break or go missing.
