Summer Travel Getaways & Essentials

Come spring and the entire world turns colorful and breezy. What else could be the best season to plan for travel and the loads of shopping that go with it? Travel brings to mind the sunny beaches of Hawaii, exotic locales of India-Sri Lanka or a fashionable city like Paris. Combine spring fashion with travel buys and what comes out is a perfect blend of the fashionable traveler every American wants to be!

For the Essentials

Travel essentials are not complete without beauty and skin care must-haves. BARE ESCENTUALS offers clean getaway kits for women priced at only $25! CLINIQUE offers all purchases of skincare essentials for this spring travel at free shipping cost! Those looking out for some adventure can grab L.L.BEAN’s strong and durable Adventure Duffles. It’s a great quality investment to make, right before the travel season.

Popular Summer Getaways

  1. Indian Sojourn – Look ethnic and glamorous with those gorgeous accessories stacked at pinkMASCARA. Those colorful bangles and chandelier earrings are sure to take your glamour quotient to the next level.

  2. Belize Beckons – One of the best places to be this summer is, Belize. Pick out hardy collections from EDDIE BAUER that has the best and latest spring fashion collections in town
