i just ordered a new bag to use at the beach this summer. it’s hasn’t quite arrived, but when it does, it’s getting stocked with these goodies for sure…

1. tote from Lotta Jansdotter’s collection

2. 100% cotton honeycomb weave towels (or shawls) pack light and are great for when it’s really hot

3. gotta have shades at the beach

4. reusable glass bottles are perfect for water… or my special “beach juice”

5. i like to keep my phone, lip balm, and wallet in cute waterproof cases, like this one

6. love this necklace from calypso. i can throw it on with a cute beach cover up over my swimsuit and be ready for a cocktail

7. another must have…. a hat to hide my crazy beach hair

okay, there will be some snacks in there, too. and a book, but i have yet to find my summer beach books… stay tuned.
