It's beach travel season, when freezing cold east coast residents like ourselves take off in search of warmer climates, or at least dream about it. Here are 10 of the most beautiful beach destinations we can recommend, and the perfect swimsuits to match.

I've just zipped a carry-on-sized suitcase that holds all the contents necessary for me to look presentable (maybe even good!) for nine days. Bow to me, gods of efficient packing, because my days of checking two huge bags for a one-week trip are dead and gone. Read on to learn how to pack like an OCD organizer a pro for your next vacation.

1. Choose pieces that complement one another both in color and in style. That means choose a color scheme and stick to it, but also choose a general look so that pretty much any and every piece can be mixed and matched. This should be easy for those of you who are more consistent in your dressing, but for those of us who are fans of dress-up days and odd outfits, it can be more of a challenge.

We all know a woman who seems to be more fortunate in the guy department than the rest of us. For me, it's my friend Anne. She moved to New York right after college, got a job, and, there, she met Paul, a sweet mountain-man type who - by pure coincidence - was from her East Coast hometown, had attended her smallish state university, shared several of her friends, and enjoyed her favorite outdoorsy activities. Four years later, they're still happily together and living in a quaint one-bedroom apartment in Brooklyn. "It was all meant to be!" she told me over drinks. "Everything happens for a reason." Theirs is a great story, no question, but I couldn't get on board with her theory that fate had a hand in the matter. The way I figured it, she was probably just really, really lucky. Because if everyone is fated to have an amazing love life, wouldn't we all be dating Ryan Gosling right now?

You already know The Frisky has an obsession with nail polish, but did you know we're also rather fixated on nail art and designs? Yeah, even though most of us would never rock crazy nails on a regular basis, we love looking at photos of women who are braver and more kitschy than us. Lately, we've seen some really cute food-inspired nail designs that have us wishing our manicurists were as talented as these.
