Sunny days are on the way (can they hurry up already?!) and we've got you covered! Check out these monogrammed clothes, accessories, and beach essentials below - must-haves for warmer days ahead!

2. Pack Your Beach Bag Separately. Your beach bag is going to be your carryall tote during your spring break travels so you’ll need to pack this bag with just the necessities. Pack your beach bag with sunscreen, your cell phone, wallet with ID, a reusable water bottle, a beach hat or visor, headphones, your laptop or iPad and your bathing suit cover-up. There might be room for a beach towel in there and some other accessories. Think of this as your go-to bag for those travel days.

3. Travel with Personalized Luggage. Monogrammed luggage can be part of your spring break splurge when shopping for your new wardrobe this year. A personalized luggage set, like our monogrammed suitcase available in a carry-on and large size, are perfect for fitting everything you need for spring break travels. You can also pack smaller bags and totes inside the suitcases to keep everything organized.

4. Be Smart About Your Wardrobe. If you’re traveling by plane, you can save on checked baggage fees by only packing what you need in a carry-on or weekender bag. If you absolutely have to have more than one bag, limit yourself to one bag and pack smart. Pack clothes that you can layer and create multiple outfits with. Consider all the different ways you can wear a beach wrap dress, sarong and other resort wear so you don’t have to pack a different outfit for each day of your trip. Rompers, maxi dresses and denim shorts with a t-shirt are some of the most versatile pieces of clothing you can have in your travel wardrobe.

5. Pack a Separate Bag for Toiletries. All of your skincare products need to be stored separately from your clothes, shoes and makeup. Since some of these items may be liquid, you’ll need to make sure you’re only packing items that meet TSA standards if you’re planning to fly anywhere this spring break. If it’s just a road trip, you can pack full-sized items but avoid the temptation to overpack. A train case is perfect for packing skincare items without stress. It’s made with durable materials and is also easy to clean.

6. Pick Your Hair Styling Tools Wisely. Some days you might want curly hair, other days you’ll want beach waves. Whatever styling tools you use, try and choose something that has multi-purpose features so you don’t have to pack several styling tools for the road. These tools can take up lots of space in the suitcase and may be tricky to pack with those long wires. Limit yourself to just one or two styling tools—maybe a curling iron and a straightening iron—and make sure to pack them up in their own drawstring bags or plastic bags to protect them from any damage in the suitcase.

7. Don’t Forget the Cosmetics. Even though you’ll be spending lots of time outdoors and will probably be going makeup-free for a few days at the beach, you’ll still need some makeup for those nights on the town. Pack your cosmetics separately in a smaller bag so your foundations, lipsticks, eyeliners and other makeup essentials are easy to find and won’t get damaged during the trip. A monogrammed clear cosmetic bag is the perfect carryall for those makeup items and is easy to stow away in a suitcase or tote.

Whether you’re heading to the Bahamas or enjoying a road trip with friends this spring break, make sure you’re ready for the adventure with the right packing plan. Use the luggage and packing tips to gear up for an unforgettable spring getaway this year!

1. Let Them Air Out. Boots can harbor a lot of bacteria and dirt during the winter months—especially if you have been wearing them almost every day. The combination of dirt, moisture and dry air can leave them with unpleasant smells and the boots might not fully dry out after a few days trekking through the snow. Let the boots air out indoors for at least a few days before you put them away in storage.

How do giveaways work?

We do giveaways in all sorts of ways! If you see a giveaway posted, be sure to closely follow the entry requirements, but most of the time it's simple - like the pic, tag some friends, or share the post - easy as that! We do post giveaways frequently, so if you're feeling lucky, be sure to enter!

Do we work with influencers?

We do! If you are an influencer and are interested in collaborating, you can fill out our form here and our public relations department will be in touch with all qualified applicants!

What is your favorite clothing item?

OMG! It's impossible to pick a supreme favorite, so instead, we'll pick one of our favorites... the Monogrammed Preppy Patch Tunic! This is the perfect sweatshirt for everyday wear. It's cute, comfy, and fashionable - what's not to love?! For the moms out there, these are also available in kids' sizes at Marleylilly Kids!

Have you considered selling XS clothes?

Yes! As of Fall 2018, we now sell XS clothes in individual and bridge sizes as XXS/XS. This was a huge request from customers, and like always, we try our best to weave customer feedback into our products and daily workflow!

Will you bring back old Marleylilly faves?

Of course! If you started shopping back with us in 2010, you will still recognize what we call "oldies but goodies" that are still on our site today! Over the years, we've made a few tweaks to these items, but you'll definitely still recognize the same style from over the years - our Duck Boots, Preppy Patch Tunic, Quilted Pullover Tunic, Fishing Shirt, and Crewneck Sweatshirt, to name a few!

Where did you get your name?

We get this question a lot! Marleylilly was named after our owners' dogs, Marley and Lilly! They were the original pup faces of our company, and though you might see many furry faces around here, Marley and Lilly are *furever* our faves!


Where are we located?

Our headquarters is based in Greer, South Carolina! We are exclusively an online store and do not have a physical retail location. We are not open to the public, but if you are local, be sure to check our social sites for local Blooper Yard Sales we host seasonally!


Can I purchase something without a monogram? 

Absolutely! A checkbox is available on the personalized step to purchase without personalization! While we LOVE a monogram, we recognize some of our shoppers would best enjoy the product without personalization, so we wanted to create that option so there's something for everyone!
