Memorial day is this weekend! Memorial day is one of my favorite holidays as it really emphasizes the start of summer and in my opinion, it’s so relaxing. After a long year of school, a lazy weekend filled with soaking up the sun and going barbecues is exactly what I need! Whether you are staying in town or taking advantage of the long weekend and getting away-check out these 13 essentials to make your weekend even more successful! 
1.) Portable, festive, poolside ping-pong? Bring it on.
2.) What’s a poolside instagram without a bright, animal float?
3.) For the plan ride or for just laying out, headphones can always come in handy. Zone out to these while the rest of the world gawks over your beach-style.
4.) Every year I drool over Marysia Swim Suits…what more of a perfect time to strut yours than over Memorial Day weekend?
5.) Need I explain the importance of a towel? Might as well have a fashionable one!
6.) Slides were made for the beach vacay.
7.) For a chilly night by the beach, this hoodie is sure to keep you cozy and warm paired with your favorite denim shorts, floppy tote, and espadrilles {see other trendy sweaters here, here, and here}
8.) Save money on checking a bag and just carry this reasonably priced, fashionable weekender!
9.) Obviously sunglasses are a must on vacation, I adore these trendy sunglasses to embrace the aviator, and colored sense trend!
10.) Don’t underestimate the power of a graphic tee. Paired with your favorite jeans, shorts, or even swim suit bottoms, graphic tees, give an effortlessly chic vibe anywhere you go. I’m loving this shirt paired with colored shorts because what better way to describe summer than a seven day weekend?
