If there’s one skill to acquire during your travels, it’s the ability to pack as efficiently as possible. This leaves enough space in your luggage to bring back all of the fun things you’ll find while on vacation. While away and prepping my beach bag, I make sure it can accommodate all the essentials I’ll need for the day, including multiple layers to wear, a camera, wallet, and so on. In order to organize your bag, I recommend using smaller zip bags within your tote to keep your belongings organized. Bags inside of bags is definitely a good thing.

You can use your tote bag all day, every day

You don’t need several different bags and purses on your vacation. You can dress your tote up and down, depending on the occasion. Here is an example that includes a Zuma Tote by Malibu Collective, Madewell Straw Bucket Hat, Anthropologie Lu Goldie Coco Sunglasses, Modcloth Feels Like Summer Midi Wrap Dress, and Lulus Danyella Sandals.
