PACKING YOUR BEACH BAG

Packing your beach bag might as well be the single most easiest task in the summertime, compared, of course, to that of packing a suitcase. Unless you've been following me for a while and you've read my tips and tricks – then you must be an expert by now.

Packing your Beach Bag might be easy but there are a few Basics you should not leave behind. You won't have to bring a lot with you – just make sure you'll have everything organized stylishly and neatly. Your Beach Style says a lot about your personal style in general, just like how thorough you are with your sunscreen application shows how much appreciation and self-love you show to your self.

THE BAG

There are those who prefer tote bags, others who choose backpacks or large shoulder bags. It is a matter of preference and whether it fits your needs. Some of my personal favorites are the Sun of a Beach-Cacticious, the Boho Star Mela Tote Bag and the full black Sugarfree bag. I like rather spacious bags, since I tend to carry many things with me at the beach.

THE BEACH TOWEL

Roll your beach towel and let it peek through the bag's opening as a statement piece instead of just packing it the old-fashioned way – it will definitely save some vital space if you have to carry your boyfriend's towel too. My faves are the Bali Towels, the South Beach Flamingo and the Oysho Candy Stripe.

SWIMSUIT & FLIP-FLOPS

If you love a monochromatic beach look, you'll have less options to create a perfect beach look while on the other hand, if you're a "mix & match" fan, it won't be that hard to pick an outfit. For me personally, I prefer to constantly change up my outfit – mixing colors and textures, always based on my style. This year, I'm all for the one-piece swimsuit, preferably patterned and featuring an open back, therefore my suggestions are Missguided Tropical or my most favorite of this summer, the Sugarfree one-piece. Put on your fave flip flops and off you go!

HAT, SUNGLASSES,MOISTURIZING SPRAY, SUNSCREEN

The perfect beach combo is the one above – if you haven't been using it yet, it is about time to do so. Your hat adnd sunscreen must be top on your list before every visit at the beach. Make sure you've made a small research before buying yur sunscreen since it has to be water resistant and having a high SPF. My personal must-haves is the entire Shisheido sun protection line, as well as, the After Sun of Nuxe. Don't forget a face moisturizing spray to keep your skin hydrating during your stay at the beach – I use the Avène Eau Thermal Spray. As for sunglasses, that depends on your style!

THE KIMONO

In any possible colour. It is the most ideal piece of beach clothing and it will save you hours in front of your closet. Kimonos and tunics are the most in-fashion and summery pieces for your beach appearances. Amp it up by using matching accessories for the perfect mix & match beach look.

THE BOOK

If you're a bookworm or you simply love reading while at the beach, don't forget to bring your favorite book with you. Since it is a matter of preference and personal choice, I won't give you specific suggestions –I'll only say that my summer is dedicated to the master of crime – Jo Nesbo. If you're a tech freak like me, charge your power bank and tablet and enjoy your book!

Enjoy your holidays!
