Whats In My Beach Bag

Happy Friday!

Here are all of my staples that I carried with me to Miami this morning! Hopefully it’s a beautiful weekend for you all!

1. Elaine Turner Tote

I wasn’t kidding when I said this was my favorite tote right now. While sure its not technically a “beach tote”, I really don’t care because I love it.

2. Floppy Hat

While I am definitely one to love the feeling of sun on my face, sometimes a little shade is nice, and floppy hats always dress up your beach attire.

3. Vogue Magazine

I picked up this issue of Vogue a while back but haven’t had time to read it. I love Cara Delivigne, so I can’t wait to read it! Also, I’m like real indecisive right now on which book I want to pick up next, so f you have any suggestions please let me know!

4. BCBG Cover up

Technically, it’s not a cover up, but it’s what I have been using it as lately.  You can’t tell by the picture, but the pattern is very pretty, and it’s super light weight & airy.

5. Tinted Moisturizer

GUYS. This stuff is amazing! It has been my favorite product for at lest 3 years now and i’ll always be obsessed. It gives your skin a beautiful glow, while moisturizing and protecting your skin from the sun with a spf of 25.

6. Mikoh Swimsuit

Look, I’ll just say it. I am the team leader of the itty bitty titty committee. Push up swimsuits and padding are not my friend. Mikoh gets me in this department. They are sporty, yet make a sexy statement at the same time, does that make sense? Plus the patterns are beautiful. While I usually have a problem with the bottoms because they are soooooo cheeky, the tops are perfect.

7. Chanel Ultra Wear Lip Color

My girl Ashton came over the other week, and she was wearing  this Chanel lip color. I instantly noticed it and asked her what it was, because it was so pretty. She started ranting about how great it was, how it didn’t come off, but it was a neutral and gave her color for the whole day. Can you ask for anything better in a lip color? Needless to say I ran to Nordstrom’s that evening, purchased my own and have loved it ever since. Thank’s Ash!

8. Brush

Because I HATE the feeling of tangled nasty hair. Just a personal preference. 

9. Ray Bans

I should probably purchase a new pair of glasses soon other than ray bans, but I just love them, and they frame my face really well, and yeah maybe I won’t purchase a new pair haha. We shall see.

10. Tory Burch Flip Flops

Staple, neutral, comfy, Tory, need I say more?

11. Bain De Soleil

LOLOL okay so I could probably do a whole post on this stuff, but I’ll spare you all the details. Basically, Bain De Soleil is my childhood. Every time I open a bottle, I picture my dad lathering this stuff on while on the boat – Cue Sugar Ray playing in the background. It brings back good memories, & my dad buys it in bulks for me, for this exact reason. This stuff will NOT protect your skin. But it WILL give your skin an awesome glow while laying out. Like I swear I look instantly more toned. I always put it on over my spf 15. 

Not pictured. But I an guarantee you an oversized smart water will be in that bag as well. It’s all about staying hydrated while on vacation right?

xo,
