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.

My tote is out of stock, but this similar Straw Beach Bag ($40) is just as adorable.

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.

Just to add a fun element to my look, I put on these Meyison Heart Sunglasses ($10). I got so many compliments on them, I'll probably end up wearing them again.

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.
