3 Cool Items To Pack For A Long Weekend

While on a travel shoot recently

at the Hotel Valley Ho in Scottsdale,

I asked fashion stylist Leah Michelle

which 3 items

the glamour-girl-on-the-go 

should pack to go poolside this season

 for an uber chic long weekend.

New Tower Suite, Hotel Valley Ho Scottsdale. Retro-vibey-cool

Here's what she said:

1. Instead of the overly body baring bikinis 

that you see absolutely everywhere,

choose a vintage one piece to lounge in by the pool.

Opt for a style that incorporates 

a well defined and lifted bosom, cinches in at the waist

and ends with a 50's style retro bottom, 

giving you an hourglass look,

even if you have a lean, straight up and down bodyshape.

2. Add a little intrigue by investing in a vintage Moroccan inspired see through kaftan.

3. Pull it all together with a tote that matches the retro vibe.
