Let Me Do Your Shopping: 2010

Nothing says summer getaway like a great selection of getaway clothing! I tried to include a versatile collection of pieces that I would try to bring with me. The key to perfecting the art of packing is to pick pieces that you can pair with a number of different items. Bring shorts you can wear during the day with a linen button down, but also wear out with a sparkly top and heels. Basic tanks work great in the day or at night when paired with a statement necklace and a pair of white jeans. Check it out:
