Hi there! We're off for a little tropical vacation today! We have been planning this trip for a long time, so naturally we did a little shopping in preparation. We promise to snap lots of photos! Here are 10 Things I Love… Retro Vacation Inspired!
1. Pan Am Carry On Bag from ModCloth. 2. Super cute turban from ASOS. 3. Color Block Dress from ShopSosie. 4. Did you know there is a new polaroid that's also a digital camera? I want one sooo bad. Read details at Photojojo. 5. Cocktails! No beachy vacation is complete without them. We'll take a Sidecar for Emma and a Mojito for Elsie! 🙂 6. Nail polish in peaches, oranges and corals (these are from Essie). 7. Swimsuits of course! I can't wait to wear this cute retro suit from ModCloth and I just love this pretty suit too. Lovin' one piece swimsuits this year. We both picked out a new one for this trip! 8. Vintage suitcases. Always + Forever! 9. Have you tried these face wipes? They're my favorite skincare item for traveling… so refreshing! 10. It's no secret that we love wooden shoes. These Swedish Hasbeens from Ruche just jumped to the top of our list! What are your favorite vacation essentials? xo. Elsie + Emma too

Numbers 4, 5, & 6 are calling for me! I will have to just windowshop, I suppose. 🙂 (Or, window drink, for that matter.) Such pretty stuff!

Love all your picks! I will be doing a post on our fave travel items soon too~ we usually travel with only carry-ons and to very HOT places (coming up on a trip to Cambodia here in 10 days) so my stuff is not half as cute…but I suppose it’s practical! I adore that polaroid camera…and your entire blog really. I hope to shape mine up in the next year or so to have a more pro look. Yours is so clean yet eclectic. I love it!
SUNNIES r a must have for me even when it’s cold I take them as wishful thinking:)
And that camera is soooo cute I want one.
suit n7 is gorgeous by the way!

IT´s fun how those wooden shoes have become a fashion thing… In Scandinavia they are called cloggs or lumps (in norwegian Klogger or Klumpa)and are used to go outside just for one earrend, like taking out the trash or picking up something from the car… (that´s why the original don´t have heals… so they will be easy to put on.
I’m so glad to see “10 things I love” again! I missed it.
And as always, very good selection. Have a great vacations ladies! Enjoy!
the modcloth suit is unreal. love!

WoW! The camera looks AMAZING! have been thinking about a polaroid camera for quite a while now, but this looks even better! Do you know anything about the quality?
Thank you for your inspiration!
I have a swimsuit that is very similar, except it’s black with pink polka dots! LOVE IT!!! Also, mmmm for cocktails and I love those pretty Essie colors!
Have a fun vacation!!!
I would looooove to have that Polariod camera! I haven’t had one is so long! That nail polish is to die for! Have you guys heard of Essence brand? Their nail polish is fast drying and vibrant, only one coat needed. The kicker is it’s 1.49 at Shopper’s Drug Mart lol.
I do love those cucumber face wipes. I throw them in my gem bag and use them before my workout to remove makeup and after just to feel refreshed.
Oh that turban! Well, I’m as pale as they come, so even going to the beach requires a fabulous parasol! Cheap paper ones are cute but the best coverage comes from a white cotton crochet one – very Downton Abbey At The Beach!
love the bathing suit!
How adorable! Love your STYLE!

Sunscreen in SPF 1,000,000 (I burn quite easily but at least I tan afterward), my tie-dye headwrap, a pretty sarong, and seersucker canvas tote. I swear going to the beach is the only time I wear huge amounts of color.
Cheers!

P.S. The turban and vintage luggage are killing meeee!
Love that Polaroid digital cam too! Unfortunatly it costs € 250,- and I just have a new camera…:(

I’ve always wanted a Pan Am bag! I love the Essie colors you chose, I have an orangey red color from them that’s just gorgeous! I used to have those face wipes. they were really cooling and refreshing after riding the MARTA train through Atlanta day after day :]
Just wanted to post you the link to a song I love where Yael Naim sings about a “beautiful mess” (I always think about your blog when I hear it)

Hope you’ll like it. It’s an amazing song.

Sometimes shopping for a vacations is almost as fun as the vacation itself. Love the turban! It’s such a fun alternative to the floppy beach hat.
Ich denke, dass Ihre Perspektive ist tief, es ist einfach gut durchdacht und wirklich fantastisch an jemanden, der, wie man diese Gedanken so gut an, setzen weiß zu sehen. Great job auf diese
Ihr Blog ist sehr good.It sehr gut verfasst und einfach zu verstehen war. Anders als zusätzliche Blogs habe ich gelesen, die sind wirklich nicht gut. Ich fand auch, Ihre Beiträge sehr interessant
I love your blog aznd your style! thanks for the inspiration ^__^
I was just trying to find some great retro suits! Thanks.
I have those same EXACT suitcases! how funny! and this whole time, i thought they were one of a kind…
I completely and totally use those FaceWipes especially when traveling! They are super soft too. Have you checked out the swimsuits from J. Crew? I got an adorable orange polka dot one last summer that looks very similar to yours from ModCloth. Happy Vacation Elsie!
Love the bathing suits
This makes me want summer even more!~
It’s such a fun alternative to the floppy beach hat.
i can’t wait till summer kicks in over here
Those face wipes are the best! And the pan am bag *swoons*
