Every jet-setting woman should have the following essentials for any Summer Vacation:

1 Dressy Top - Keep it simple and feminine.

2 Fun Fedora - Add a little color or spice.

3 Versatile Dress - Little or no pattern is your best bet.

4 Convertible Bag - This bag should be able to switch between clutch and crossbody styles for maximum wearability.

5 Comfy Crops - Choose a style in a neutral tone that is comfy enough to sleep in but dressy enough to wear to dinner.

6 Statement Earrings - The bolder the better!

7 Neutral Tote Bag - Find a carry all that does it all.

8 Classic Watch - The ultimate timeless timepiece, choose one in leather or metal, avoid too many “trendy” details.

9 Party Shoe - Colorful & fun, with details & accents

10 Funky Tee - Keep it comfortable, choose a neutral toned graphic for some extra fun.

11 Printed Scarf - Choose one with colors you love & it will go with more items in your wardrobe.

12 Statement Necklace - Bold and beautiful.

13 Body-Con Swimsuit - Find a fit that is perfect for your body type and rock it!

14 Sassy Shorts - A print or interesting detailing will put these shorts in a different league.

15 Striped Cardigan - The stripes will keep it interesting without looking over the top.

16 Printed Dress - A two or three color print is perfect, nothing too wild or crazy.

17 Trendy Wedge - A neutral tone will go with everything, staying on trend with weaving or detailing will keep it fashion forward.

18 Flirty Flats - Boring flats are just that; boring and flat. Pick a flat with a print or stripe or fun accents and it will make any outfit pop!
