Clutch’s Beach Bag

posted on : June 6, 2015 posted by : nicolesteinthal 0 Comment

Today we are looking inside the beach bag of Abbie Durkin, the fashionable face behind the stores Pink on Palmer and Clutch with locations in Larchmont, and Rye NY.  Lets see what Abbie’s must have are:

My beach bag is The Big Sur by Flora Bella, I really think it’s a steady eddy. I love it since it has that traditional raffia base and leather shimmer straps (a little gold shimmer never hurt anyone). So here is what I have always have in my bag no matter what: Coola Sunscreens since my 2 little boys are extremely sensitive to products. Is as organic as it can be, unscented and they make a sport spray. Lily Pulitzer beach towels from target. (no, I did not stand in line, I’m not that crazy and yes they are amazing and I have about a half dozen) . Oh, how could I forget my Kaplin MD lip balm. People are always so obsessed with SPF for the face and body what about lips? This stuff is the best… it has an SPF, great color and super moisturizing. Speaking of sun protection, I away carry baseball caps for the boys and I have this white sun hat for me. Just some random besides diapers, wipes… we love this new game, Tensi. Its perfect to keep the kids occupied. Obviously, its sad but I cant leave anywhere without my iphone.

More of What Is In Your Beach Bag…..

posted on : June 3, 2015 posted by : nicolesteinthal 0 Comment

Today über stylist Cricket Burns is going to tell us what is in her beach bag.  You are in for a real treat!  



This year the Figue Tuk Tuk tote will be my beach bag of choice, I’m a sucker for pom poms and tassels, they make me happy!


My current beach splurge is the brand new hermes beach towel cape — it is basically an hermes towel (the most luxurious and colorful towels in the world!) fashioned into a cover up with arm holes – crazy chic!!

I can’t hit the sand without my Sun Bum lip and face sunblock stick. It really works, doesn’t wash off in the waves and smells divine – kind of like a delicious snack without any calories:)

Chick Lit is a MUST while sitting under my umbrella with the waves washing over my toes. No War and Peace for me on the beach. This year the first two in my bag will be Killing Monica by Candace Bushnell and The KnockOff by Lucy Sykes. C’mon, who can resist??

Hydration, hydration, hydration… my choice is the Kor One Water Vessel. It keeps my water clean and cool and looks like something from the future – a fun conversation starter!

Lastly, Josie Maran Argon Oil – I’m obsessed — in my hair, on my skin; face, cuticles, elbows — anything that needs moisturing. It makes your skin look youthful and blowy.

Whats in Your Beach Bag?

posted on : June 2, 2015 posted by : nicolesteinthal 1 Comment

Today we are asking fashionista and Blogger Elizabeth Moyer of Pretty Pink Tulips what is in her beach bag.  Lets see what Elizabeth has for us……

I actually found a new beach bag this past week that I love! It’s a straw market bag with pink leather handles. I don’t know who makes it, but I got it at Privet House. They also had some with orange handles, gold & silver. I found similar bags on etsy. Mine was $48!

In my bag, I always have one of my fun, colorful beach towels, pink Haviana flip flops, Neutrogena Dry Touch sunscreen, a straw cowboy hat  ( Calypso), Sun Bum coconut lip balm  w/ spf 30, sunglasses, a great book and a stack of magazines!!!!
