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.

Who doesn’t love to read a good book or magazine while relaxing in the sand?

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.
