I’m planning a little getaway to St. Barths in a few weeks (yes, I’m already stressed about the teeny, tiny plane that you have to take to get there) and I’m starting to mentally pack my suitcase.  Here’s what I’m bringing along.

The pièce de résistance of my entire wardrobe is going to be this rainbow Chloe dress, which I am madly, passionately, and hopelessly in love with.  True, it ate up my shopping allowance for the next 5 years, but I don’t care because I’m going to wear it forever and ever and ever. I’ll definitely wear it the first night with sandals and then again later in the week as a beach cover-up with my white Marysia bikini (not shown above).

These Lolita-esque heart-shaped sunglasses are so kitschy and fun—I snapped them up the moment I saw them! They remind me of being a kid and I literally cannot wait to put them on!

I’ll keep a Touche Éclat illuminator in my bag for when I need a little touch up—probably after the beach and before cocktails.

I’m crazy for all things pompom and this straw bag is a total show-stopper! It’s perfect for a boho-hippie place like St. Barths.

I like a little shimmer and bronzer and this body oil from Tom Ford Beauty is divine.  I apply some to my legs before going out at night, as well as my arms and shoulders, for a sun-kissed goddess kind of vibe.

These gold sandals by Aquazzura are going to see a lot of action because I’m planning to wear them everywhere. I love a metallic sandal on a beach holiday—so chic!

This bright, cherry-red one-piece is one of my faves.  I love the rope detail and the classic, almost vintage-looking, design. Plus, it will look so fabulous paired with my heart-shaped sunglasses.

I’m really into bringing my own shampoo along with me lately and the MoroccanOil Fleur de Rose is definitely going in my toiletries case.  I love the rose scent and I know my hair will need all the help it can get after days spent frolicking in the sea and sun.
