I Went to Hawaii For a Week, and These Are the 10 Items I Packed For Under $100

For chilling out by the pool, I wanted to make sure I had a bag that carried everything I needed and a comfy cover-up I could easily throw on whenever. You'll have to hunt down the iced coffee yourself.

This RanRui Kimono Swimsuit Cover-Up ($20) has a tie belt, so if I wanted to walk over to the bar for a cocktail, I could quickly cover my swimsuit.

I've had these sturdy, oversize Quay Australia Stray Cat Mirrored Cat Eye Sunglasses ($55) for over a year with no wear or tear. I like the large frames for blocking out rays.

Not only is this Shein Colorblock Surplice Neck One-Piece Swimsuit ($13) the most affordable one I've ever bought, but it also ended up being the most flattering. It smoothed out my stomach and kept my chest supported.

For dinner and drinks, I wanted a playful dress and heels that are easy to walk in. I'm not going to lie, my family commented on my big, singular puff-sleeve all night long. But hey, maybe it's a good place to store snacks.

This ASOS Design One-Shoulder Puff-Sleeve Floral Mini Skater ($60) is made with a scuba-suit material that is breathable and never wrinkles — that made this dress great for folding up into a suitcase.

These BP. Lucia Block Heel Slide Sandals ($70) are my go-tos, even beyond vacation. I love them so much, I bought the pink version for my sister.

This H&M Hairband With Knot Detail ($10) is fidget-free, which is always my goal. It doesn't squeeze my head or need to be adjusted.

For sitting in the sand and swimming in the waves, this one-piece and bucket hat combo was ideal. It was comfortable and easy to explore in.

I was intimidated by the neon hue of this New Look Belted Swimsuit ($32, originally $40), but I ended up deciding to go for it. I appreciate the adjustable straps and belt; they allow for a custom fit.

This C.C Packable Reversible Tie-Dye Bucket Hat ($16) is a solid blue color on the other side, so you can get double the use out of it.
