The Stylish and the Practical: It’s in the Bag
No matter how far your spring break plans take you this year, you’re going to need both stylish and practical essentials. Plus, if getting in shape and eating well is part of your pre-trip planning, the merchants at Hawthorne Plaza have you covered from head to toe.
The Swimsuit
The swimsuit—perhaps the quintessential and most difficult-to-choose vacation staple ever. Make your first stop Swimwear Solution. Trust us and their hardcore fans when we say that you’ll never shop department stores or online hoping to find the perfect swimsuit again.
With more than 8,000 swimsuits in stock, Swimwear Solution has all the latest styles in one-piece, two-piece, tankini, high-waisted and ruffled for all body shapes whether you’re a pear, apple, hourglass or rectangle. The hardest part won’t be finding a suit you feel amazing in, but narrowing down all your options.
How do they do it? Their associates are swimsuit “whisperers.” They get a feel for what you want to maximize (and minimize). They magically lead you to several suits that you’ll probably love and some you probably never would’ve considered. And, their dressing rooms? Bliss. No grocery store lighting or distorting mirrors.
Add a stylish sarong, cover-up, hat and sunglasses and you’re not only good to go, but you also look phenomenal.
The Dress
The right dress can take you from the pool or beachside to dinner at the lake or on the coast. The name in resort wear is Lilly Pulitzer with the brand's signature in florals, bright and muted colors for active and casual styles.
Get in a vacation state of mind with this season’s newest swimsuits, everyday dresses, golf and activewear, resort wear and mother-daughter matching outfits (ridiculously cute for you and your mini me).

The Luggage
A luggage tag, a ribbon on the handle or even stickers. Travelers have a lot of hacks to try to identify their black bags from the hundreds of other black bags on the baggage carousel.
Those days are over with the new Briggs & Riley limited edition luggage in an eye-catching plum color. Briggs & Riley luggage is engineered for reality and backed by a true lifetime guarantee. Get yours with complimentary monogramming at Bag & Baggage.
Whether your vacation is set or you’re planning for the future, Bag & Baggage has an impressive collection of curated products for safe traveling. Some favorites are hand soap toiletry sheets and hand-sanitizing wipes, portable sanitizing light devices, personal air purifiers, as well as essentials to keep you comfortable and organized.
The Mani/Pedi
Manicures and pedicures are little vacations in and of themselves, but nothing beats the feeling of a pre-vacation mani/pedi. PAINT Nail Bar is the perfect place to start your relaxation vibe. Their fume-free environment is expertly designed with elegant decor, a large selection of premium products and accessories, and high sterilization standards to ensure the utmost perfection in aesthetics, comfort and cleanliness.
PAINT uses vegan and formaldehyde-free lacquers and only LED lamps for curing their water-based gel polishes.
Check out their newest line of quick-dry polishes, just in time for spring break.
- EMMA: the next generation of nail polish. It’s quick-dry similar to gel finish, but can be removed at home with regular polish remover.
- Dazzle Dry: a high-gloss polish dries in just 5 minutes.
