Escape to Cuters Beach

I'm headed out on a starter vacay tomorrow -- I really should be packing and not playing around. And while I'm not going to the beach (nay, definitely not -- I'm off to sandy Kalamazoo... jealous?), here's my fantasy packing list of stuff I'd like to be bringing with me were I off to a weeklong trip to the beach and not getting up at 5 a.m. for a three-day trip to the Midwest:

($168, Letarte, Canyonbeachwear.com)
Such a suit. Letarte makes great suits. This safari bikini is supercute and not too overkill with the jungle theme.


($156, Letarte, Couturecandy.com)
Another cute Letarte. Reminds me of Shoshanna's bikinis.



($187, Serfontaine, WinkNYC.com)
These are sort of ridiculous, but they're so soft and comfy-looking and would be so cute with a beachy tank.


($30.50, Alloy)
So old-school they're almost great. Very Mary-Kate Olsen, according to Chicago JP. True!


($35, Alternative Apparel)
Buttery soft heather cropped pants, perfect for pulling on and lounging around after you've taken your post-beach shower. Also, I cannot say enough good things about Alternative Apparel -- their fit and feel are fantastic, and they're not headed by an evil, mustachioed porn-faced CEO! Yay!


($112, Peter Jensen, Gargyle)
More Southampton than South Padre.


($595, Loeffler Randall, ActiveEndeavors.com)
I'm not the type to wear heels with shorts and a bikini top, but if I wear, these would be the perfect pair for that sort of ridiculous posturing that really only happens in movies and magazines, I hope.


Super cute beachy-prep bowling bag.



($68, Brooklyn Industries)
Not beachy per se, but super fun. Brooklyn Industries has gotten cuter! The first one reminds me of Paul's Boutique.



($70, Boost, Urban Outfitters)
Suuuuuuuper fun, suuuuuper summery cute headphones... to go in your beach bag.



($1.29, Biocare Labs)
The site is pure crap, but trust me -- this lip balm is the best. Doesn't do that gross thing where it makes you thirsty in the back of your throat. Okay -- time to pack my ACTUAL, real-life items. Nitey!

Love those shorts & hate that they're 187 bucks. Damn.

Great picks. I especially love the headphones - though, I'd opt for the brown/pink combo. The others make me think of a bottle of LA Looks.

Enjoy Kalamazoo. One of my favorite placenames EVAR.
