Wish list for a sunnier climate

We'll need to take a trip to Mexico within the next couple of months to check out some potential wedding destinations in person before making a decision. While I'm feeling a little frantic with the prospect of planning a wedding and starting a new job within the next month looming large, as a travel addict, I'm always thrilled with the prospect of taking another trip.

Here's some of the summery frocks, swimwear and assorted other lovely items I'd love to bring on a trip to a warmer climate:

A breezy, sexy maxi dress to wear during day time jaunts around time and during dinner.

A sunny, glamorous yellow bikini to lounge around in on the beach.

Chic sandal with a modest heel to add a boost, but low enough to walk around in all day.

Embellished cover up sweater to throw on at the beach.

My go-to basic for every occasion and an absolute travel necessity: a comfy, deep-V neck tee to wear with everything, in every climate.

 A pair of shorts that can be dressed down with flats for daytime sightseeing, and dressed up with heels or wedges for evenings out.

A lightweight bag that can be worn cross-body to keep hands free. I wore this Kooba bag while climbing around the dusty, amazing temple ruins of Angkor Wat in Cambodia, which luckily enough had a strap long enough to wear cross body.

A sweater to throw on when evenings get chillier, or when faced with intense AC indoors.
