After redoing my apartment, I took a little break from traveling. But now I’m back in full swing with trips planned every weekend! I kicked it off last week in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. When it comes to what to pack for travel, I find beach vacations to be the easiest. Here is what my travel packing list generally looks like: 

• bathing suits (full video coming soon)
• white button downs (they double as coverups)
• straw bags (I used this one for day and this one for night)
• rompers (so easy to pull on!)
• breezy dresses
• denim shorts (these white ones are my current faves)
• playful tops
• colorful earrings
• fancy flats (these jelly slides are only $18!)
• wedges or chunky sandals (I’ve been living in these $30 cork heels)

What I Packed for Jamaica

Now that we’ve talked what to pack for Jamaica, let’s talk about where to stay! I was invited to Moon Palace Ocho Rios, which is an all-inclusive resort on the island. I love all-inclusive when traveling because it really leaves you worry free. These were the highlights of the resort:

• two private beaches for endless relaxation
• a hut that served the most delicious jerk chicken and fresh coconuts
• the kindest staff, who were alway smiling and accommodating
• Instagram friendly spots at every corner!
