The perfect weekend getaway bag

Summer is finally here and we have all been building up our holiday days to have a quick trip to paradise before heading back to the big city. With so much to see and so little time it is often difficult to decide what to take on a weekend break. Whether it’s a romantic trip to Paris, sunbathing in the Caribbean or a sightseeing holiday in New York; you never know what you might end up needing. So here at The Upcoming we have devised the perfect getaway bag of clothes, accessories and beauty products so you will be prepared for whatever the weather or resort has to throw at you.

Beach Look: Standing out on the beach is often hard as there are so many people eagerly trying to get a source of vitamin D and cooling off in the water. By wearing bold and colourful prints you will still manage to soak up the sun, looking glam as ever. Always remember sunglasses and suncream, squinting your eyes and getting burnt just isn’t worth it. Get the beach look this summer with these easy sources of print.

Sightseeing Look: Even though you may be looking at some of the great tourist attractions, there is still the need to look stylish for all of those holiday snaps you’ll be taking. If you are walking around all day make sure you wear flat or comfortable shoes. With clothing, wear something that has the wearablity to last a whole day without adjustments. A daily moisturising cream applied twice daily will also keep your skin hydrated. Here are a few suggestions for you.
