Savor these last few weeks of summer with a mini vacation. Do as the Obamas do and plan a weekend getaway in Martha’s Vineyard or another chilled out waterfront locale. Though you may not receive the Presidential treatment, you will certainly be able to catch some rays by the sea. You don’t need the First Lady’s wardrobe to lounge in style. These essentials will carry you through the week. ~Nola Weinstein
