Spring Break Wishlist, Part 1

With only one more week left until Spring Break, all I can think about is my getaway. 
In all my daydreaming of endless free time and glorious sunshine, I have racked up quite a long list items I'd kill to be packing for my trip. 
{Anthropologie}
{Urban Outfitters}
I've been wanting a retro, high-waisted swimsuit since last summer. The trick is finding one that actually flatters. I love the mini-floral pattern and olive green color of these two suits.

Loving this corset-like swimsuit. I've been hunting around for a one-piece that's equal parts flattering and stylish. 

{Topshop}
I love the idea of a lace or crocheted beach cover up. This one is simultaneously feminine, delicate, and bohemian.

{J Crew}
Hats add instant glam to any beach look. My two favorites this season are the classic floppy style and the panama hat (one of my must-haves for spring/summer).

With your toes on display at the beach, a great pedicure is a major plus. Right now I'm loving both poppy and sheer pink, super-bright and super-light.

{Cutler and Gross for J. Crew}
The perfect pair of sunglasses are critical for any type of fun in the sun. It's no secret that I have it bad for  cat-eye and/or tortoise-shell sunnies, so it's no surprise I'm obsessed with this pair. 

Stay tuned for more Spring Break must-haves!

Vacation Please

Even though its the weekend, I can't help but crave a longer break, preferably in a stunning tropical local such as this...

Last summer when I was in Paris, I spent a week contemplating the purchase of the most amazing panama hat. I ultimately decided not to buy it, mostly because I was worried about getting it safely home--big mistake. I need one. 

I've also been dying to find a retro, high-waited swimsuit like this.

Beach glam at its finest.

On the other hand, when I saw these photos, I was reminded of how badly I want to go back to Paris...

I'm not usually a huge fan of Free People clothing, but I love the femininity and delicateness of this collection. 

So, the question remains: to the beach, or to Paris?
