Take a hike by littlepieceofchic featuring

I just returned home from a quick weekend trip to Fayetteville, Arkansas where I spent some much needed time with family! We went canoeing on the Buffalo National River, cliff jumped(still can’t believe I did it), hiked to a beautiful waterfall, and had a picnic! We were very adventurous and I loved every second of it! I am here today to tell you what you need to hike in style!

Rain jacket, I know it is hot but you never know what the weather will do!
Athletic shorts(I am a sucker for all things Nike but any kind will do, make sure they are comfy and dry fit!
Baseball hat, I wore one this weekend hiking and canoeing and it was perfect because it protected my face and kept my hair out of the way.
Backpack. I do not own a Kavu, but I wish I did. They are the perfect size and style. I brought my north face backpack that has stuck by my side the past 4 years with no wear or tear at all.
Shades. I highly recommend wearing sunglasses when going on a hike, protect your beautiful eyes while looking stylish!
Sandals, preferably chacos. I know they are all the rage for college girls and they seem like a fad, but seriously they are the most practical shoe for an adventure, especially if it involves water! If you are a size 8 or less, you can squeeze into a kids size chaco for half the price!
Snacks!! Cliff bars are the perfect mountain snack, especially this flavor.

Alright fashionistas, you are ready for your next adventure!

Here are a few pictures from my trip because they were too beautiful not to share!
