Our Beach Bag Essentials

Filed Under > Uncategorized

Packing a beach bag has always excited us, as it means that we’re in store for a long and glorious day by the water.  And though the ultimate beach bag essentials list may vary from day to day, there are always a few must-have items in our bags that we don’t want to be without, like a good SPF and a welcoming beach blanket.  So with yesterday’s exciting news announcing our exclusive collection of sailcloth totes and beach bags with Hayden Reis, we got to thinking about our ultimate beach bag essentials list.  We’re sure you’ll agree that nothing is worse than posting up and realizing you’re missing a thing or two (hello water bottle!). This list will help you pack and plan for that fun-filled day in the sun (tan lines, optional).  Cheers, Kat

P.S. You can enter to win one of our exclusive Hayden Reis sailcloth totes with matching wristlet in our giveaway on Facebook!  You can enter once per day, per email address.  The winner will be chosen Thursday, April 23.  Good luck!

GOOD SPF

GOOD SPF

WE ALL WANT TO BE BRONZE BEACH BUMS, BUT WE ALSO KNOW NOT TO HIT THE SHORE WITHOUT PROPER SPF. A FAVORITE OF THE WOM TEAM, THIS WATER-RESISTANT SUNSCREEN IS SURE TO GIVE US THE PROTECTION WE NEED.

READING MATERIAL

THOUGH SUNBATHING REQUIRES (MINIMAL) ENTERTAINMENT, GOOD READING MATERIAL IS AN ABSOLUTE MUST. WE'LL HAVE OUR COPY OF THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN AND PLAN TO BE GLUED FOR HOURS. WHO'S WITH US?

H2O

H2O

WE WON'T BE CAUGHT ON A LONG DAY AT THE BEACH WITHOUT TONS OF H20. WE'LL STAY HYDRATED BY TOTING A FEW BOTTLES IN OUR BEACH BAG OR THROWING IN OUR FAVORITE BKR BOTTLE OR SWELL BOTTLE.

WE CAN'T EVER DECIDE ON JUST ONE BEACH LOOK (IT'S A LONG DAY AFTER ALL). GOOD THING THERE'S LOTS OF ROOM IN OUR TOTE FOR PRETTY SCARVES, THE SUNNIES, FLIP FLOPS, A WOVEN SUN HAT AND A COVERUP FOR LATER.
