iStockWarmer weather means just one thing: time to play!
That's right—more sunshine calls for many things, but a spur of the moment weekend getaway somewhere beach-y is top of mind. After all, there's some pretty killer rental deals online (like this $211 per night Miami beach bungalow, for instance). But booking the trip is just the beginning. Next you have to think of what to pack. Less is more when you're off-duty, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't look like your best low-key self.
To help you prep for that weekend trip ASAP, we've racked the six items you shouldn't be without.

Planning a vacay outfit does not need to be difficult. Pro tip: Simply go with a versatile dress that'll work for all situations.

You can never go wrong by investing in a pair of reliable sunnies. They'll give your low-key look that extra touch and keep rays at bay.
Sunscreen
