The funny thing about beach vacations..............they always seem to come when you need them most.

I’m getting my bags packed for my week long vacay down to Hilton Head, South Carolina, one of my favorite beach destinations. I really couldn't be more excited if I tried.

With that being said, here’s a look into my suitcase, (which I'm obsessed with) including some of my favorite travel essentials that don’t cost a ton. Details about what I'm packing are below, as well as direct links from where to get everything!

Though, I WILL let you in on a little secret....while I pride myself on being able to find the best bargains I can possibly get my hands on, when it comes to makeup, I don't skimp. I would rather spend more money to make my skin glow and have a product I feel good about rather than save money and buy a product that feels cheap and leaves my skin feeling terrible. I swear by my Laura Mercier makeup. It stays on all day long, and it leaves my skin feeling great.

Be sure to check back over the next week to see which outfits I packed that perfectly blend in to the southern charm that is Hilton Head. And I PROMISE you, a post is coming about how I scored this incredible Diane Von Furstenburg luggage set for nearly 1/10th of the cost.
