Despite the long, sunny days, it seems like summer flies by in an instant. From that last day of school, to Independence Day fireworks, into those dog days of August…summer is very quickly ‘here today, gone tomorrow’. As languid and tranquil as those lazy August days can be, somewhere in the back of your mind, you can feel fall creeping in.
Before you start thinking about back-to-school, or shopping the latest fall boot trends, consider squeezing in just one more vacation to relax and take advantage of those lazy days. As enchanting as fall can be, life can get hectic pretty quick with kids heading back to school, evening activities, and gearing up for the holidays.
So grab your bags and take off—whether to the beach, the mountains, someplace tried-and-true, or someplace new. Don’t think too hard about that packing list—keep it simple! Our passion at Details and Pappagallo is making sure you look, act, and feel your best as you enjoy every moment of that last vacation, so here are some last minute trip ideas and what to pack for them:
For the Beach
Ah, salty hair and sun kissed skin. Live in your swimsuit, but don’t forget your beach bag! In addition to the sunscreen and sunglasses, make sure to have a Bikini Bag. This handy pouch has a durable design and waterproof fabric to stowe your wet swimsuit in, while keeping everything else in your beach bag completely dry—all while being the cutest thing in your bag! May we also recommend a Portable Wine Glass for subtle sips by the water.
For the Roadtrip
Grab and go! Roadtrips are the ultimate carefree vacation. Try piling everyone in the car and having a different person decide to turn left or right every 30 minutes. After a few hours, see where you end up and explore that location for a long weekend. Roadtrip outfits should be effortless and comfortable—try a wrinkle-free dress like this one from Papillon Blanc.
For the Camping Weekend
Savor the last warm evenings in a tent under the stars, with good company and maybe some s’mores. Make sure the clothes you throw into your bag are durable and easily cleaned to weather the outdoors. We suggest a pair of jeans, like these fun, fringed ones from 7 For All Mankind, paired with a billowy blouse, by Bobeau, and a jacket, by June Wear, for a cooler evening.
All these looks, and more, can be found at Pappagallo, or Details, both in Downtown Lancaster. Enjoy the last days of summer, everyone!
