how to be a minimalist when making a summer bag?

ok, we already know that airlines don't let us take much and none of us wants to look like a michelin doll outside the plane, so besides my elin necklace and my 10 cate hoop rings, this is my carry-on for a week in a beach paradise.

a hunza bikini. okay, I'm in love with these bikinis and it's not from today.

a set of kc the brand shirt and shorts. if you want, you can use my discount code lifurtado20 and you will get a perfect set for your summer.

what I'm doing is wearing the bikini on the beach and the shorts in the evening, when I leave the beach to go out to eat I put on the shirt and it's done. then a pareo that becomes either a skirt, towel or evening gown is a perfect 3-in-1.

still not taking up too much space is the strapless dress. I picked two that are top of my list.

finally some satin pants:

some sandals for sos:

and a silk top:

don't forget the sunglasses. those saint laurent are a must, too bad they don't look good on me.

if you still think you need more, bet on some pajama pants and another pair. trust me, less is more when you are on vacation and extra looks are out, or save them for accessories that don't take up a lot of space. add a pair of tina earrings for a bolder daytime look and a pair of laura earrings for nighttime. and while you're at it, an elin necklace. Let's not forget a pair of havaianas, of course.

and of course I didn't forget the bag, because my suggestion is our crocheted bag.
