GLAMOROUS GETAWAY ESSENTIALS


So you and your sweetheart have made a last minute plan for a romantic getaway...just the two of you.  A girl needs to be sure to pack a few sexy but elegant items for candlelit dinners, dancing until dawn and whatever else she might need to be beautifully ready for. Here a few fun and fabulous items you might want to consider packing...

 LIKE THESE...

A GREAT LITTLE BLACK DRESS


This vintage number is just so flirty, I think it's perfect for a sexy night out, don't you?  It's a wonderful example of a 1960's cocktail dress.  The fitted sheath is caged by a sheer layer of chiffon with over-the-top ostrich feathers embellishing the hem.  And if that weren't enough, the neckline features a statement-style brooch for some serious sparkle!  I LOVE this piece, and I think it works just as well for a special occasion  today as it did when it was originally made!  It's from XTABAY Vintage and you will have a ball browsing her etsy  store!


GLAM COCKTAIL JEWELRY

I love the idea a packing a matching set of great costume jewelry to mix and match for different looks at a moments notice.  The set pictured above of the bracelet, brooch, earrings and necklace would be a winner for versatility and glitz, from VWayne, also on etsy.  These kinds of vintage sets are so much prettier than just about anything new you can find, and the seller suggests using the pin in your your hair.  I think it would be marvelous attached to a simple evening bag, or at the bottom of a plunging neckline...front or back!

A GREAT PAIR OF SEXY SHOES

Black Suede 1950's pointy toe stilettos.  Is there anything else to say?  From the aptly named 




KILLER SUNGLASSES
A stunning pair of sunglasses are essential for early mornings after the night before.  Perfect for alfresco breakfast, brunch or lunch not to mention critical when lounging by the pool.  Aren't these 80's Claude Montana zebra frames to die for...the French do drama so well, no?  Available from Kerson Gallery PS.


LUSCIOUS LINGERIE
Of course a get away like this requires some yummy lingerie, and there are really some beauties available on etsy.  This seller, Boudoir Queen, always has the prettiest, most unique pieces in her shop.  Is there anything more romantic than a lovely nightie, anyway?


COLORFUL LUGGAGE
Now I know why basic black luggage is something everyone likes for the basics, but for fun excursions, why not pack your pretties in something a little retro?  This crazy green is a great set of several pieces to adapt to different needs. This shop owner, White Bear Studios US, pokes fun at the avocado color as being so out it's in!  It certainly would be easy to spot your suitcases out of a sea of neutrals on the airport baggage turnstyle!

I Hope You Get to Travel to Somewhere Glamorous!
