Glowing tans, cool shades, bathing suits for days, beach hats, jet skis, and those super official gopro traveling videos (#tb to Jay Alvarrez and Alexis Ren).
It seems like everyone on social media is really living their best life.
You’re counting down the days to your summer getaway and you know you want to have the best time, feel good, and show the world how bada$$ you look, but you are ballin’ on a budget. Have no fear, having an amazing getaway and staying within your budget is totally possible with these must haves.
Swim
One trendy way to accentuate your features is to wear either a high waisted bathing suit to tighten your waist and give the illusion of longer legs, or wear a bikini or one piece that wraps around your waist to accentuate your waistline.
Luckily, you can buy multiple bathing suits like these that mimic high fashion styles at a discounted price. These sites have a bathing suit for every personality. Zaful, Romwe, and Boohoo suits are affordable and super cute. They will stay in great condition and add tons of variety to your bikini game. Trust us, everyone will be wondering how you snagged such a great looking suit.
Technology
Yes, you can get that sick deep sea footage without spending a fortune on a gopro. Amazon carries multiple brands of waterproof action cameras that range from 17-50 dollars with similar features. The Dragon Touch 4K Action Camera 16MP is under 50 dollars and has been reviewed to be just like the gopro cameras.
For all your selfies, you are going to want perfect lighting at all hours. That is why a portable light ring is a must to show off your vacay glow. No need to worry about the club being too dark for selfies anymore. The QIAYA Selfie Ring Light is perfect for those beach selfies that will have you totally glowing.
Sunglasses
You don’t need to spend your entire savings on sunglasses when so many brands sell similar designer styles for less. My favorite places to get high end looking sunnies on a budget are Nasty Gal and Forever 21.
Floral Summer Dresses
Lilly Pulitzer may be out of budget, but that’s nothing to fret about when you have all these options! All of the most popular sites like ASOS and Lulu’s have dresses that will have you looking oh so beachy with some extra cash to spend on a poolside drink.
Your summer vacay doesn’t need to be filled with designer items and high quality videos of you kissing your super hot boyfriend under water to be memorable.
