It’s taken a while but beach time is finally here. So whether you’re hitting up a local beach, cottage or traveling somewhere blue & beautiful like in North Carolina and staying in a gorgeous home rental from Kees or other companies, or maybe a backyard beach that looks suspiciously like a pool, don’t forget to bring along some style. To me, that means bring out the colour! If you are anything like me, then you also love any opportunity to show a little personality through your accessories and bags. One of my friends recently showed me this guide to the best rucksack backpacks out there, and I have to admit that it has made me tempted to buy some more… They are just so useful, especially for a day at the beach. Plus, you can never have too many bags, am I right?! After mooching around for other backpack styles, I even found that you can create a custom backpack with your photo, how cool is that!!! At least you’d always know which bag is yours and if you were to ever lose it, easily identify it. I think it just makes for a nifty bag anyway as it’s totally unique. It makes a great gift too! So, with that in mind, it is time to suit up, hat up & bag up for a day in the sun.

Suit up: suit 1 / suit 2 / suit 3 / suit 4
Hat up: hat 1 / hat 2 / hat 3 / hat 4
Bag up: bag 1 / bag 2 / bag 3 / bag 4
