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?

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!!!!

What’s In Your Beach Bag?

This week we are going to do some special posts. I asked a bunch of very fashionable ladies to let us look inside their beach bags. Our first Fashionista is Jean Voute, the woman behind the wonderful website and blog, Gift Girl Style. Lets see what Jean keeps in her bag!

This season I’ll be carrying a Lance Woven metallic beach bag. I love this company! The bags are constructed so beautifully, they’re classic, and the metallic gives the classic a little Jeuge. I ALWAYS have a hat. I have very sensitive skin so I always have a hat and a ton of sunblock. For a blogger, having a camera handy is always a good idea. To keep me entertained while basking by the blue sea, I love a good Danielle Steele book. I know, I know, it’s not very clever but who cares it’s decadent. I obviously always have my phone. I like to have a Mason Pearson brush, a little spritz, and some tinted lip balm just in case the beach turns into stopping for a casual dinner. Lastly, I try to remember to bring a change of clothes for my boys, because they ALWAYS end up complaining about feeling irritated by the sand in their suit. Other than that, a bit of money and a credit card and I’m good to go!
