"I Didn't Get Your Text" hat / Vacation Tote / Beach Read / Donut Beach Towel / Gold Water Bottle / Nail Polish / Sunscreen / Swan Float / Flat Sandals / Swimsuit / Overalls
So like a true female, when I pack for the beach or pool I practically need a suitcase, andddd I don't even have rugrats yet (but let's be real, my everyday bag is a damn suitcase anyway). My swim style is pure fun with cheeky and bright extras, no basic beach here!
Must have 1: a sun hat. Ever hear of shopbetches.com? What a gem they are. This hat is probably still sold out, but since my normal style is more sporty than girly, this is my jam. Plus, you know my love for a witty sarcastic saying.
Must have 2: a big-ass tote to carry all my crap. If you pay attention to detail like me, I like a theme-specific accessory.
Must have 3: A fun beach read. Oh Babe Walker, white girl problems abound. I can't wait to devour this story of Babe who is most likely hungover throughout this book.
Must have 4: a non-boring beach towel. MAN I LOVE DONUTS. Hence, this towel is a muuuuust.
Must have 5: A glam, eco-friendly water bottle to keep my water cold (I love my yeti, but this is a slimmer fit for a beach bag)
Must have 6: Punchy nail colors
Must have 7: Sunscreen that's a triple threat. One that protects, bronzes and perfects the skin? Heck yeah, no boring sunscreen here!
Must have 8: a float big enough to sprawl out on. Basic, I know but I mean come on, how fun. It's like floaties for grown-up's.
Must have 9: A slide-on flat sandal, because there's nothing fashionable about flip flops.
Plus gold and perforation on a slide? So pool deck chic.
Must have 10: The suit. So I have a love/hate relationship with bathing suits because so many of them are cut and fit the same, but not all bodies are the same obviously. I'm petite and athletic with no chest so bikini's are ok, and my torso is too short for most one-pieces. Through trial and error I have found that sporty styles suit me best, so that's what I gravitate to towards now. This pink one from Nordstrom however is too fun to pass up. A sleek one-piece design with a cut-out that a petite girl can actually wear. Why? The bottom is similar to a high-waist and full coverage bottom and the cut-out design visually elongates the torso. And in the perfect shade of pink, this is a winner.
Must have 11: A practical cover-up. Listen, I'm not going to wear a kimono, or sarong, or caftan with tassles. If I want to grab a smoothie or lunch after, I want to feel suitable to go out in public. My hot weather cover-up of choice is short denim overalls. They're fun, sporty, and I can let one strap hang loose, throw on a baseball cap and I'm good to go!

This is what you would find in my beach bag, what's in yours? Anything good I'm missing?
