What to Pack For Portugal — Including the $17 Hair Brush That Saved Me at the Beach

Marc Jacobs Marc 799/S Sunglasses ($210). Everlane The Leather Flip Flop ($76, originally $138). 24seven Lightweight Spaghetti Strap Pocket Maxi Dress ($36, originally $72). Cookooky Crochet Beach Tote bag ($12).

If you're planning on visiting Porto or Cascais like I did, you're going to want to reserve at least one day for the beach. There are beach clubs if you want to rent chairs and have access to food and drinks, but you'll find that most people just throw a towel down on the sand and enjoy. I wore my Everlane sandals more than I was expecting to throughout the trip, and they're super comfortable. My round Marc Jacobs sunglasses added '60s bohemian flair to many of my looks, and this netted beach bag came in handy when I wanted to pack a book, my portable charger, and sunscreen for all-day entertainment.
