Top 2 Things for a Successful Getaway Weekend

Hi Gorgeous!!!

It is almost the weekend, it's so close I can almost touch it! For me, weekend getaways are not complete without a good pair of sunglasses, a cute weekend bag, and a bottle of wine. Unfortunately, I am not going anywhere this weekend, but my sister, mom and mom's co-workers are coming to visit me!

Active Sunglasses: For all you ladies who live active lifestyles


These sunglasses are so cute and are great for an active lifestyle. I like to wear this brand for running, biking, and sailing. 

These also are a great option. Very comfortable.
Fashion Sunglasses
I love these sunglasses. Definitely on my wish list.
MIRROR-'T' SQUARE CAT-EYE SUNGLASSES

I am loving the print on these sunglasses! So fun, would look great with ripped jeans, wedge booties, and a classic white tee- with hair up in a redo pony! 

Sunglasses for Anytime, Anywhere

These are my trusty pair of sunglasses. I always have these in my purse. Seriously my favorite pair I have ever owned. A little on the pricey side, but totally worth the money. 
Ray-Ban Tech

I love these sunglasses, but haven't gotten up the courage to just order them. Look for these on amazon. They go on and off sale all the time. (Currently not on sale)

Weekend Bags: 

Om For All Bag
I love this workout bag from LuluLemon. It also is a great sized bag for small getaways! 
Patagonia Black Hole\u2122 Duffel 60L - Black BLK
I love this bag! You can wear it as a backpack and fits all that you need for the weekend. A few options of travel bags on the Patagonia sale. Check it out.

Hope you enjoyed my selections! Comment below with what your favorite weekender bag is. I am on the market to buy a new one. :) 

Look for my post tomorrow about weekend plans and the cocktail in the spotlight.
