As an east coast girl, when summer hits Colorado I long for days on the water, salty air and a cool sea breeze. If you are taking off for a vacation by the sea, here are a few ideas for what to pack for all of your beach vacation to-dos.

Maxi Dresses are a summer staple for a reason- comfortable and versatile, they are an excellent item to pack. In a fun stripe for a nautical feel, this Ella Moss dress will get you through cocktails on the deck with ease or dress it up with a wedge and clutch for classy night out.

If you are headed out for a sail, slip into crisp white denim shorts, a fun floral top and Keds. Bring along the airy Aston cardigan to protect you from the sun and keep the chill away as the sun sets.  The Aston cardigan is a must for any traveler, a perfect cover-up that doesn’t get wrinkled in your suitcase- It doesn’t get better than that!

A seaside vacation would not be complete without a day out in one of the quaint port towns, keep your style relaxed in the lightweight Raven sweater, paired with bright red skinnys  and d’orsay flats. This outfit is will carry you through a day poking around town and keep you comfortable at a clam bake on the beach at night.

All of these items are easy to mix and match. You can pack light and create a variety of outfits to match your daily pursuits. Head to the ocean for relaxation and bring you effortlessly chic style with you!
