If you’re going away on vacation this summer and want to pack light, here are a few essential items that you must bring...

Red August loves a 'roll on, no checking' moment while traveling - so you should think about packing pieces that are chic but versatile. Think about dresses that can be swimsuit cover-ups with leather or plastic flip-flops or thong flats during the day that transform into cocktail dresses at night with sandals and great jewelry…perhaps a statement necklace or some bangles.

White jeans are perfect to travel in, on the plane with a black cashmere pullover and with a cute tank upon landing. Think about a great pair of strappy sandals for night and flip-flops for day. Great jewelry can change a look immediately and nothing is better for summer dressing than gold -- it looks great with a tan and brings a touch of shine to your look.

We know that most people like to stick to classic neutrals - black, white, camel, navy (and we totally understand.) But if you’re looking for ways to bring some warm weather color to your wardrobe without going totally overboard with a whole bright colored wardrobe that won't work in a couple of months, we suggest…

That you definitely should stick with your neutral theme, but why not punch the color up with accessories. A sunshine yellow bag or a bright pink shoe! Neutrals are such a great way to use accessories as your highlights.
