"I prefer a strapless bandeau bikini. I hate tan lines!" - Nicky Hilton

"This new sunblock technology prevents aging. I always wear a minimum of SPF 50 on my face."
 - Nicky Hilton

"I love stacking this bracelet with my everyday outfits. It's feminine but with an edge." - Nicky Hilton

"When I wear this mascara, people always ask me if I'm wearing false lashes. It's just that good! It thickens and lengthens. I tend to go for a very natural makeup look on vacation--the tan speaks for itself--and just putting on this mascara and a light lip gloss."
 - Nicky Hilton

"This kate spade new york bag is cute, easy, and fits all the necessities. I can take it from the plane right to the beach." - Nicky Hilton

"Good music is essential on my travels. I make mixes to suit my destination." - Nicky Hilton

"I guess I'm old fashioned, but I'm not embarrassed to say I still use a disposable camera!" - Nicky Hilton

"This lip balm is so easy to apply and doesn't melt in the sun like the other brands. I love the fun shape of the sphere and the SPF protects you during long days in the sun." - Nicky Hilton

"I can't get enough of these shorts in the summer. They transition from day to night perfectly." - Nicky Hilton

"I love this neutral wedge. It's simple and goes with everything, no matter where I'm traveling to in the summer." - Nicky Hilton

"I have these Tolani dresses and tunics in every color and print imaginable. They're so light and comfortable- I can throw it over my bikini or wear out at night with heels." - Nicky Hilton

"This neutral polish is great for when I'm somewhere tropical and in the water a lot. When my nails chip it's not noticeable." - Nicky Hilton

"Aviators are my favorite style of sunglasses. The big lenses give me extra coverage." - Nicky Hilton
