It's almost that time of year when we all use up our vacation days and escape our everyday lives for a little "me" time on the beach. I don't know about you, but it's been a while since I've been on a true vacation and even longer since I've left the country. The pandemic obviously has slowed us all down, especially when it comes to international travel, but this spring and summer, I'm planning to get some stamps on my passport.
First on the list is a trip to Tulum coming up, and while getting ready for my upcoming travels I knew Revolve, Shopbop, and Zara would have the best stylish and affordable vacation items to take with me, including great dresses and heels for dinners on the beach, flattering and stylish swimsuits, trendy accessories, casual cutoff shorts, and button-downs to wear poolside or while exploring the city I'm visiting. I even found some of my vacation beauty must-haves.
