Welcome to day two of beach week!  Let's talk about what to bring in your beach bag!  There are a few necessities that no girl should be without at the beach, chief among them is sunscreen!  I won't go into all the details of skin cancer and will just say that sunscreen is your friend.  I haven't always been a sunscreen advocate because I never burn, but I know that even though I'm not burning my skin is still at risk so I make sure to use it when I'll be in the sun. Always have some with you and reapply throughout the day!

Now onto the more fun items!  Ready? Set? Let's Go!

1. An Awesome Tote: No brainer...where else would you put all your stuff! ;)
   Shopbop has an awesome selection in all price ranges!
2. Sunglasses: You can't be without a chic pair of eyewear, but be careful not to get a sunglasses tan!
   Check out net-a-porter for a HUGE selection of sunglasses!
3. A Hat: For those moments when you don't want your sunglasses on
   Target has an amazing selection of floppy hats in a variety of colors!
4. Book/Magazine/Word Puzzle Book: You'll need something to occupy you when you aren't walking along the smooth sand, people watching or frolicking in the water!
5. Towel: I think this is pretty self explanatory, but make sure your towel has a fun print/color or design!
   Once again, head to Target for tons of fun towels!
6. Water: You don't want to get dehydrated!

You will notice I don't have a coverup or bathing suit on this list...that's because I have TWO posts on that coming up on Thursday and Friday! Get excited!
