• The Dressing Room: Summer Weekend Getaway

  

  It's that time of year: summer flings, romps on the beach, and weekends away with your SO. The right duffle, a versatile packing list, and multitasking accessories could be the difference between "I had a great time," and "loose my number." Take a look at these fool-proof items for your next couples weekend in the sun.

  

  An embellished flat sandal can be dressed down during the day, for a chic addition to a pair of shorts and a Tee, or up at night, so that great boho dress you have looks ready to go out on the town. (Sandal: $69.99 at Steve Madden)

   

  

  A colorful tote bag can double as a weekender. Roll up your bathing suits and sundresses to avoid lugging a duffle bag around, and then refill it with sunscreens and towels for a trip to the shore! The perfect shopper, carry-all, and handbag in one. (Tote: $98 at Nordstrom)

   

  

  Nail polish chips and peels after only a few hours in the ocean. Pack a nude colored enamel. Fleshy colors are less noticeable when they chip, and you can fill in flaked areas for a perfectly refreshed manicure. (Polish: $4.79 at Drugstore.com)

   

  

  A colorful elastic bracelet is the only accessory you need to look casual and trendy on a low-key getaway. These pieces do double-duty: when the heat gets to your hair, use the stretchy bracelet as a ponytail tie! (Bracelet: $31 at Chickdowntown)

   

  

  One great black swimsuit is all you need for a weekend in the water. The unmarked, simple silhouette will flatter your figure (no matter how much you eat at the buffet on the first night) and no one will recognize it on a day-to-day, so re-wear without fear! (Juicy Couture Swimwear: $85 at Zappos)
