these are the essentials in my beach bag this summer! although, my beach this year is a little different from the ones I am used to. see normally I am laid out on the beautiful coasts of north or south carolina, maybe even georgia or florida. instead I’m trading southern sands for sunny croatia and southern italian coastlines. I can’t complain.

this is the BEST sunscreen. it smells like the beach in a bottle.

I have raved about this sea salt beach wave spray before…it’s perfect for beach waves.

sunglasses + case

lifeproof case

I love my lifeproof nuud case! it’s easy to put on and take off, it’s waterproof, and still totally functional–some of the older lifeproof cases had issues with audio and picture taking.

beach bag

I love this Kate Spade cooler bag–great for keeping items cold, it’s stylish, and a perfect price! But for carrying a load out to the beach I love Scout bags–they are durable and always trendy.

oversized beach towel

this oversized beach towel is lightweight and super soft!

I also love a beach blanket that folds up and has a handle!

outdoor speaker

i love this portable speaker because it is waterproof, connects via bluetooth, and has a 10 hour rechargeable battery.

what beautiful beaches are you laying on this summer? Xx
