FASHION - Weekend getaway

For the extended weekend from August 5-9, Negril will become the town that doesn't sleep, with five days of continuous partying, day and night, with two parties each day. Eleven parties fall under the ATI banner while Dream Weekend will host seven.

With so much partying to do, here is Flair's checklist to ensure that nothing is forgotten and all the essentials are packed for a weekend of total enjoyment.

Accessories

- Phone charger

You still need to keep in touch with the rest of the world, plus find your friends, so phones must be fully charged and loaded with minutes of talk time.

You must have sunblock and moisturiser. Protect your skin so you don't return to work looking like a lobster.


Don't forget the camera.

You want to capture some of the best moments partying. Plus you will need to download the memories for all your Facebook friends.


Cash

Most of these parties are all-inclusive but, believe it or not, there will be times when you are not partying. Emergencies do occur so make sure you have enough cash.


Don't forget your shades

It's not only about looking cool but also about protecting your eyes.


Clothes

Make sure you have comfortable but trendy clothes. Most of these parties are beach events so shorts and tank tops or sexy, body-hugging T-shirts are essential.

Where there is water you will get wet so don't forget your swim trunks.


Shoes

Forget the gentleman's shoes, it's all about sneakers and slippers. Getting a pedicure before you head down is a must!


These will make the partying easy on a man's feet.


Be cool, casual and the envy of your friends in this gorgeous pair of Aldo sandals.
