STYLEDGE: Everything you need for spring break from A to Z

by Jordan Barnes, Rachel Wilkerson & SeanVidal

E is for Elexa - don't leave home without them

Aloe

You’re bound to get burned in the sweltering sun, and there’s nothing more painful than ba-doinking with blisters.  

Burt’s Bees Lip Balm

It’s pretty handy when you’re at the swim-up bar and the guy who just took a body shot off you wants to make out.  

Camera

      You’re going to want to capture every wet T-shirt contest and drunken mistake.  

Deck of cards

On a night where you’re too tired to head to the bars, a nice game of Kings can make things rowdy in the hotel. 

Elexa

Trojan’s new line of condoms are just for her pleasure. And considering she makes 70 cents for every dollar he does, she deserves a ribbed tip and warming lube.

       
Fergie’s “The Dutchess”

      Keep it Flossy with this essential spring break CD.  

GQ

Styledge reads it religiously and you should too. But save your newest copy for when you’re hungover on your layover.   

Hangover remedy

Speaking of hangovers, make sure to bring whatever cures your headache, whether it’s ibuprofen or a breakfast beer. You’re going to need it.  

iPod

That’s a given. Don’t forget the charger and comfortable headphones.  

Jack Johnson

The pro surfer turned musician brings the surf life to his music making “In Between Dreams,” his newest album, a perfect CD to relax and lay out with. 

Kinky Shit

Because after leaving a foam party with someone you’re probably never going to see again, you might as well use your opportunity to try something that would get you arrested at home. 

Lotion

Peeling is unsightly, so pick up a good SPF wherever you go. Australian Gold Suntan Lotion in SPF 8 is perfect. And it’s your best way of getting someone to flirt with you.  

Morning-after pill

Let’s hope you don’t need it because Elexas aren’t supposed to break, but bring some just because buying them from Pablo at the Mexican CVS doesn’t exactly scream healthy. Pick one up before leaving home in case of emergencies.  

“Naked” by David Sedaris

The best plane reading you could ever want (fuck “The Da Vinci Code”). Just beware, you will absolutely laugh out loud and people will judge you.  

O-Face

      Real or faux, make sure you get to use it.  

Portable iPod speakers

      Perfect for listening to Fergie or Jack Johnson.  

Q-Tips

Dip in makeup remover and swipe it under your eyes in the A.M. to avoid looking like Courtney Love on a bender at breakfast.   

Ralph Lauren Beach Towel

We’re  not sure why, but Ralph Lauren makes the best towels ever. And if you’re on a budget, head to the Polo Outlet before you hop on the plane. 

Smooth Skin

Schedule your bikini or back wax for this week and exfoliate like hell…you are going to want to be totally touchable and not have to worry about stubble.  

Tote

      Totes are totes necessary for both guys and girls. 

Umbrella

Mostly because very few words start with “U,” but also because rain can really hinder many plans. Don’t let it. 

V-Card

Bring it. Then lose it, forget it, leave it there, give it to someone who is European. Whatever you do, don’t bring it back.  

Wifebeaters

The classic white tank looks a little less trailer park and a little more Justin Timberlake when there’s an ocean involved.  

X-tra duffle

      So necessary for all the great things you’ll buy while you’re there.  

Your Parents’ Credit Card

You’re going to need to fund all these fabulous adventures. It’s everywhere you want to be.  

Zip-Up Hoodie

Nights can get chilly on the beach and a zip-up is the best way to snuggle up with your PNL (potential new lay) from ASU.
