In an effort to work my ass off before it makes its 2017 beach body debut, I want to share some quick beach essentials that will keep you cool, covered, & stylish this summer on the sands!

LACE COVER UP – easy, throw over your suit piece that looks great when worn & covers all the areas you don’t wish to expose 24/7. Most restaurants/beach clubs require clothing when you enter so a cover up is the perfect piece to wear when you don’t want/need to change your entire ensemble just to get a quick bite during your beach day!

SUN HAT – when umbrellas are limited, a sun hat is great coverage to protect your face from damaging UV rays – along with sunscreen! I love how creative sun hats have become with these scripted quotes along the brim, especially ones with beachy lingo.

CARRY ALL CLUTCH – the perfect item to store those miscellaneous things you take to the beach that need protection from sand or always get lost in your tote. A couple items that are in my clutch for a day at the beach i include: wallet, cell phone, mobile charger, headphones, hair ties, sun screen, sunnies, and chapstick.

SIMPLE SANDALS – lightweight, stylish, and easy to slide on. I’m obsessed with gold and especially in sandal form – these also make for great footwear if you decide to grab that quick bite and want to sport something other than Rainbows or Havianas.
