What to pack for a Romantic Getaway..

Are you going on a Romantic Getaway this weekend for Valentine's Day? Looking for fashionable items to pack to help make sure you look sweet & cute? Read along for JSD's suggestions on what to pack for your Baecation!

Are you headed somewhere warm or tropical? Don't forget to pack a statement swimsuit piece! Pick something that is sexy but also covers the right parts to leave some room for imagination and anticipation. Crochet swimsuits are cute, flirty and fun! Don't forget to pack some sunscreen as well--sunburn isn't a sexy accessory!

Nothing says sexy or "Kiss Me" like a pop from red lipstick! Don't have a favorite red shade yet? Check out MAC's Ruby Woo, Chanel's Classic Pirate Lipstick or a variety of NARS shades at Sephora. For an extra pop, use NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Cruella.

Going out for a night on the town? Or to a fancy French restaurant? Throw on a sexy backless dress with a pair of strappy heels! Men love women who can rock a pair of heels confidently and it gives your legs super definition!

A Romantic Getaway What to Pack list would not be complete without the perfect cosmetic must haves! Dior's Pure Poison perfume is sure to grab the attention of your other half with its bold scent. Give your nails a pop similar to your lips with a red color like OPI's California Raspberry or Dutch Tulips. Finish off the look with a Shimmery Gold Smokey eye! Nothing says seductress like these beauty must-haves!

There you have it! Our list of What to Pack for a Romantic Getaway. What are some items you think are perfect for a romantic weekend getaway?

PRICELINE: A TRAVELER'S FRIEND

Ever wanted to go on a quick LAST minute trip, but were afraid you wouldn't be able to find a decent price for flights? Well fret no futher my jet setters, Priceline may be just the site you're looking for when in need. 

Priceline advertises all the time they can help you negotiate your own price and I can honestly say the Name your Own Price tool really works! I was searching for a last minute flight to New Orleans for Fourth of July weekend, and all I kept finding were flights ranging from $375-425! With only 3 weeks left before my "unplanned-last-minute vacay" I decided to use Priceline. I used the name my own price tool and just played around with the price until VOILA!

The negotiator managed to shrink my flight price to $275 roundtrip! That's not bad for last minute! So if you're looking for GREAT flight (or even hotel) deals, try priceline.com and use the NAME YOUR OWN PRICE TOOL.  There are some key things to remember with using this tool:

* Be aware of what the average flight prices are when placing your bid--you don't want to bid too low or too high, you're trying to get the BEST price!

* You will have to put in your card information, but they will not charge you if your bid is not accepted! (Don't worry--my offer wasn't accepted on the first try and my card was not charged)

* You are not allowed to pick flight times or airline carriers when using this tool!

Give priceline.com a try next time you're looking for a last minute getaway!
