It is that time of the year where vacations are among us and we want to make the most of our summer. I am heading to the beach in a couple of weeks for my Bachelorette party so I wanted to dedicate a post to my beach bag essentials.
A stylish beach bag isn’t much use without things to put in it, so below are my beach bag essentials to ensure you’re ready for the sun!
Straw hat
Is it even summer if you don’t leave the house equipped with a sun hat? Stylish and practical, you have to pair your bag with a matching hat. Take a look at this season’s hottest hat trends and keep your skin and hair protected from the sun.
Retro sunglasses
Bold white frames and cat eye styles are among this summer’s must-have sunglasses. Invest in different styles and colors to team with your outfits to ensure plenty of variety in your summer fashion looks.
Sun protection
Sun protection is important, and if you want to keep your skin youthful and glowing – you need to make sure you are applying sunscreen throughout the day. Keep a range of sun care products to hand, including makeup, sun cream and lip products to make sure you stay protected.
Sweater
While a day in the sun can be magical, temperatures can soon dip in the evening. A chunky Sweater Shop sweater is perfect for covering up once the sun goes down, and ideal for enjoying some evening drinks or a post-beach barbecue. A chunky sweater looks great over your favorite denim cut-offs to give you a chic summer look to continue after dark.
Reading material
Long lazy days in the sun are best enjoyed with a good book. Reading can be a good way to ease your stress as well as take the time to do something for you. Vacation reads make popular blog posts at this time of year, so keep an eye out for must-read titles coming your way. Get ready to settle down with a good book and enjoy those rays.
Water
It’s important to stay hydrated, especially if you’re going to be in the sun all day. Drinking enough water is an important lifestyle choice for your skin, and you should aim to drink more than your usual intake on very hot days. Store some recyclable bottles in your bag and sip regularly throughout the day to stay hydrated. If you can, spend some time in the shade so that you can avoid being in the sun’s glare for too long and prevent conditions like sunstroke.
Summer brings hope and plenty of fantastic memories, so be sure to make the most of these warm and sunny months. Invest in a stylish beach bag and fill it with all of your essentials to enjoy some perfect lazy summer days.
