We're making the most of the waning days of summer and heading up to Newport, RI this weekend to soak up some sun and even go sailing. Check out what we're bringing with us!

As we head to a proper sailing town, we can't pass up the opportunity to don some major nautical inspiration.

Immerse yourself in preppy pieces for this trip -- we love a collared, sleeveless number!

Polka dot shorts? When wouldn't you want to wear these while you still can, is really the question.

Artdot Shorts, $59.50, at Madewell

When we think of heading up to Newport, we think of the good ol' days. Thus, we've got to include a hint of nostalgia somewhere in our look, right?

This tote is perfect to act as both an overnight bag and also a beach bag. Double win!

Though we're typically against wearing flip flops in the city, this leather pair seems like a workable option (and perfect for a day on the boat!)

Look, we’re just as bummed as you are that summer is really winding down. Now’s not the time to sit in our rooms and pout, though — we have all winter to do that. To take advantage of the time we do have left with the season and sun, we’re heading to Newport, Rhode Island this weekend to hit the coast.

Considering Newport is such a famous sailing town, we’re especially hoping to catch some rays on a boat deck or two, and are thusly pulling out our preppier options and channeling our inner WASP. Collars, stripes and polka dots are just a few details that are making it. Click through to see what else we’re throwing in our bag for the weekend!
