Packing for a girls' weekend? Discover my favorite handcrafted straw tote, cozy beach sweatshirts, oversized towels, and thoughtful accessories for the perfect summer getaway. Every piece was chosen for its quality, beauty and practicality.
There is something about packing for a weekend away that feels full of possibility.
Laughs with friends.
Lobster Rolls. Pizza. Ice Cream.
A walk through a small beach town.
Start with the Perfect Tote
Every getaway begins with a great bag.
I chose this woven straw tote because the quality is exceptional. It's handcrafted in Morocco, lightweight and large enough for everything I bring along - a sweatshirt, a water bottle, beach towel, book, sunscreen, and whatever treasures the day brings home.
It's the kind of bag that looks just as beautiful shopping in town as it does at the beach.
Layers You'll Reach for Again and Again
Even in the middle of summer, evenings can cool off quickly.
The Mallard Duck Beach sweatshirt has become one of my favorites because of its softness. It's easy to throw on after a swim or when the air conditioning is on high.
The Limoncello sweatshirt brings a little Italian summer wherever you are. Bright, cheerful and pairs well with our other Italian Summer finds.
It's the Little Details
One of my favorite ways to personalize the tote is with one of our hand-painted bag charms. Choose a lobster, lemon, tomato vine, or one of our bridal designs for a girls' getaway.
Don't Forget the Beach Towel
No summer getaway feels complete without a great beach towel. I chose these oversized towels because they're as beautiful as they are practical. The Mallard Duck Beach towel pairs perfectly with the sweatshirt, and the Seashell Towel has soft mocha and brown colors that pair with everything.
Wherever Summer Takes You
Whether you're heading to the beach, spending the weekend at the lake, wandering a market, or simply enjoying an afternoon close to home, I hope this collection inspires you to pack well and enjoy the season.
Every piece in this collection was chosen because it's something that passed my quality test - not just for one vacation, but summer after summer.
Happy Travels,
