If the current Lagos weather doesn’t support your soft life escape in Lagos then maybe a serene hideout in Kigali, or a chic vineyard retreat in Stellenbosch will do the trick. But as you know, packing light isn’t a style compromise but a function of self-care and purpose during your weekend getaway. 

4 Essentials For Your Weekend Getaway

Here are 4 essentials you should have whether you’re jetting solo or with your tribe.

1. The Statement Co-ord

Think effortless glam. A two-piece set (linen, silk, or a bold Ankara print) takes you from brunch to boat cruise with zero outfit stress. Bonus points if it pairs well with both flats and heels. Choose a color that matches your mood and skin tone. 

2. Your Soft Glam Beauty Kit

Weekend getaways are for glowing—not contouring. Pack a small kit with tinted moisturizer, brow gel, cream blush, and a gloss with attitude. Skin first, filters later. A hydrating mist and sunscreen are your vacation besties.

3. A Versatile Pair of Flats or Sandals

Chic comfort is non-negotiable. Choose shoes that say “rich auntie energy” whether you’re strolling through a resort or catching a city sunset. Neutral tones, gold accents, or leather sandals will accentuate your overall look.

4. Your Signature Scent

Because energy introduces you before you speak. A travel-friendly perfume keeps your vibe intentional, from breakfast to bonfire. Layering your body oil underneath helps the scent last longer.

Your weekend getaway is a moment of pleasure, clarity, and joy. So pack light, live loud, and let every item in your bag be a reflect your inward goal, peace.
