Hey friend đ Iâm Kristin, the palm-loving spirit behind The Striped Palmâa place where sun-drenched vibes meet feel-good fashion. I believe every trip should come with unexpected giggles, heart-to-hearts under twinkly lights, and maybe a few wildly impractical outfit choices. Need girls trip ideas? So whether you’re planning your bestie’s bachelorette, a “we survived another school year” mom-cation, or a spontaneous soul-sisters weekendâpull up a lounge chair. Iâve got a little magic youâll want to pack.
This oneâs for the girlsâthe ride-or-dies, the laugh-till-you-snort-ers, the make-a-toast-for-everything-ers.
Letâs talk about the real ingredients behind an unforgettable girls trip⊠Personalized tees, belly laughs, and beach-side secrets.

The Sparkle Checklist: 7 Things Every Girls Trip Needs
1. Matching tees that tell your story
We all know the power of a good graphic teeâbut make it personal? Youâve got instant magic.
Thereâs something deliciously fun about strolling through the airport in coordinating tees that say, âweâre with each other, and we are the moment.â Youâre not matching for the âgram (though the pics will z-i-n-g). Youâre wearing a vibey bit of your groupâs inside worldânicknames, trip dates, that phrase you all won’t stop saying.
At The Striped Palm, our custom girls trip tees are cloud-soft, come in dreamy color tones like peach fizz and coastal cream, and are perfect for both mimosa brunch and beach bonfires.
âš Perfect for: turning heads at baggage claim and capturing that first âcheersâ of the trip



2. One playlist to rule them all
Soundtrack = soul of the trip.
You need some Whitney. Some Bad Bunny. Maybe a little 90s boy band throwback that hits harder after a second mojito.
Make it collaborative (hello, Spotify magic) so everyone gets their vibe turned up. And pro tip: by day two, someoneâs choreographing a group dance without being asked. You know it’s coming.
đ Perfect for: impromptu kitchen dance-offs and windows-down road-trip karaoke

3. A wildly impractical group photo moment
You know the one. Youâre all in oversized sunnies on a vintage convertible. Or in glittery robes on a balcony with neon drinks.
Is it useful? No.
Is it essential? Absolutely.
Props are optionalâlaughter is not. Let your joy be unfiltered, wild, and a little over the top. It’s not about perfection. It’s about the we did this, together moment.
đž Perfect for: the group photo youâll frame, screen-shot, and re-post every year




4. A theme night (go campy, go bold, go all in)
Pick a theme. Go full drama. Think Denim & Diamonds, Y2K Girls Gone Wild, or Tropical Glam Mafia.
Thrift the fits. Commit to the bit. Let the silliness carry you.
Itâs not about looking good (though you probably will). Itâs about playing, laughing, and remembering that style is a form of play.
đ Perfect for: creating ridiculous, hilarious, unforgettable memories





5. A moment of total chill
Cue the deep sigh.
Itâs the quiet wine hour, the hammock nap, the collective face-mask-and-gossip session.
Sometimes the golden moments show up in stillness. Make space in your itinerary for nothingness… embraced together.
đż Perfect for: recharging in one anotherâs presence


6. A shared surprise
Plan something sneaky. Delightful. Tiny or decadent.
Maybe itâs a last-night mini award show (“Most Likely to Steal the Groom at the Bachelorette”), or a midnight donut delivery with heart-shaped sprinkles. Book a secret sunset sail or surprise everyone with a handwritten note in their suitcase.
Itâs not the size of the surpriseâitâs the thought.
đ Perfect for: unexpected moments that remind everyone how loved they are
7. A souvenir that feels like you
Here’s my take: Skip the clichĂ© keychains. Say goodbye to sand-filled jars.
If you’re going to remember this trip (and how it made you feel), make it wearable. The kind of tee you reach for on a random Tuesday to feel your girls all over again.
Our custom Striped Palm girls trip tees do exactly thatâtheyâre comfy enough for morning coffee runs, cute enough for low-key happy hours, and soft enough to nap in when youâre dreaming of that trip⊠again.
