WOVEN BEACH BAGS
The first thing on the beach trip packing list is a must-have bag. When heading to the beach, the most useful handbag is the one you can simply toss everything into. Just because these bags are convenient doesn’t mean they can’t be stylish, too. One trend we are seeing pop up across the runways and on social media is the rattan-style totes. These woven, natural materials look great with just about any beach outfit, from white sundresses to colorful swimsuits. Grab a stylish rendition of the rattan tote by Valentino, Loewe or Saint Laurent.

SLIDE SANDALS
Comfort footwear has taken center stage as of late, and this trend is here to stay through summer with the elegant, simple and easy-to-wear slides that are debuting in designer styles. Casual luxury is the name of the game, coordinating slide sandals in tones of nude, white and gold with oversized woven bags. These do-it-all shoes go from brunch to shopping to the beach and back, making these the perfect shoes for your beach packing list. Check out these summer staples by Bottega Veneta, Chloe, Valentino and Aquazzura.

Kindle

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
KINDLE
Who doesn’t love to read a good book or magazine while relaxing in the sand? Although your woven tote bag might be able to hold a lot, chances are you don’t want to be lugging around several paperback or hardcover books. If you’re traveling, the easiest way to bring multiple books is on a Kindle or other e-reader. The paperwhite version of Kindle mimics the look of paper and doesn’t have the glare commonly associated with reading from a screen. It’s perfect for sunny days! Our reading recommendation is iconiclife.com of course.

Goop

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
SUPERGOOP
Everyone knows you must bring a great sunscreen to the beach, and no beach trip packing list is complete without a bottle or two. Now, more than ever, we realize the importance of protecting our skin against the harmful UV rays that can do so much damage to the body’s largest organ. Luxe skincare brand Supergoop has created a line of seamless sunscreen products, makeup, and self-tanners that aren’t greasy, shiny or sticky. The brand’s “Unseen Sunscreen” is a bestseller that works as a makeup primer for beautiful healthy skin at the beach and beyond.
