When you travel, are you simply focused on the basics -- clothes, shoes, swimsuits, & toiletries? Or are you similar to me and you start thinking about what you're packing for your trip months in advance, coordinating every single outfit. Yes, even swimsuits need to be coordinated with the perfect sandals, sunshades and cover up!

And then there are the super glam who even consider what I like to call "beach jewelry". These are inexpensive pieces of jewelry that are strictly reserved for vacation use only. Wearing these pieces any other time would be - well, rather excessive in my opinion. Because I like to really go all out when I travel, especially on the beach or poolside at a lavish hotel, nothing screams, "I am here" and ready to slay, like blingy beach jewelry.

If you've never considered beach jewelry, give it a try. You can find these pieces everywhere from Amazon to your local Claire's in the mall. You do not need to spend hundreds of dollars on these pieces of costume jewelry. Often depending on the quality of the jewelry, and how frequently you wear the beach jewelry, you may get up to 3 or 4 wears out of your pieces. It's a really low investment for some really fantastic pics with blingy jewelry that will instantly elevate your glam factor.

Below are a few of my absolute favorite styles of body/beach jewelry. Remember, all pieces of jewelry are not made the same. You may have to shop around and buy a few pieces from different vendors before determining which vendor provides the best value for your buck.

Beach jewelry, without doubt, is a travelnista's sexy travel accessory must-have! Enjoy the glam life!
