Happy Wednesday, friends. We are gearing up for a little beach vacation and going to the Cape. Surprisingly, we haven’t really had a proper beach vacation in years and more so, we’ve really never taken a vacation to the Cape. Cape Cod is comprised of 15 towns including some that are bit more popular than others like Provincetown and Chatham – hello Summer Catch! I put together a little packing list, but in reality I’m taking an entire suitcase with so much more – this is just a snippet of what’s coming with me! A girl needs options, right!?
- I love being able to throw my denim jacket on over a sundress or during those chillier summer nights – I have a lighter wash and a white denim jacket.
- One of my most recent purchases is this eyelet skirt(it also comes in red). I love that this skirt can be dressed up or down. I expect I’ll wear it a few different ways on vacation.
- A sleek pair of aviators is always with me, especially this $14 pair that looks so much more expensive.
- I’ve been using this crossbody with every outfit recently and it’s the perfect summer bag! Holds all the essentials.
- Packed a couple of dresses, including a dress that can be dressed down for a day trip or dressed up for a little dinner out – as fancy as we can get with a two year old in tow!
- A couple easy t-shirts to pair with shorts or skirts is my favorite. I was sent a couple of these from Paris Meet Boston and I can’t wait to match with Sophia. If you like anything in the shop you can get 20% off with code BIANA20.
- We will be spending a lot of time outside (hopefully the weather cooperates) so I can’t wait to use my newest sunscreen from Beauty Counter. It’s tinted so it gives me a little color on my otherwise pale legs.
- Since cutting my hair I’m able to do so much more with it – curl, straighten, braids – bring on the accessories.
- This trip I will not be overpacking in the shoe department and that’s because I really only need one pair of slides and I’m good to go! Okay, that’s a lie, I’ll probably over pack shoes too!
- I’m only bringing one piece bathing suits – my how times have changed! This blue ruffle one is my newest one and isn’t too cheeky and has great coverage – what I need chasing a toddler around.
- For the same reason I need to bring a denim jacket, I’m packing a light summer sweaterbecause the weather by the beach in New England is really unpredictable.
- If you haven’t purchased a pair of shorts from Ann Taylor yet, I think this should be the summer you try some. They are my favorite shorts and are such an appropriate length to wear out and about.

I love that sunset sweater. I wish we had cooler nights here in the south so I could wear some summer sweaters, but it's always sweltering. I wouldn't dare wear a sweater this time of year! Haha.
So jealous you're headed to the beach! Love everything you're packing – that dress and denim jacket are the cutest combo!

You are going to look uber chic and stylish! I love all the pieces you’re packing, especially that cute Loft pullover, the dress and those sailor like shorts. I’ve never been to The Cape before. My mom has and always raves about it. I look forward to reading and following along, if you blog while there!
