Bag Lady: Top Five Beach Bags for Summer
Although we are struggling through the typical June gloom here in Cali, beach season has arrived officially. Last week I gave you my top beach essentials, this week I am narrowing it down to my top five beach bags…styles, colors and shapes that are my favorite. I’ve become kind of obsessed with beach bags, always needing to make sure mine is functional yet stylish. I like hauling a lot of stuff to the beach and always making sure I am prepared for this or that. I am usually find myself thankful for bringing certain rescue products when my skin feels too dry, or my hair is knotted from swimming in the ocean. Here are a few of my favorite bags for this summer:
This Old Navy Crossbody Hobo is a really cute style and the pattern is fun and bright and will spice up any plain old white bathing suit coverup.
Women’s Printed Crossbody Hobo in Turquoise Floral: $10.00
As much as I love bright colors and funky patterns, I am a sucker for pure white tote bags among other things. There is just something so refreshing and chic about them. This one from J. Crew is right up my alley, and the size is good as well.

Canvas Boardwalk Oversize Tote: $59.99
Anthropologie had a slew of absolutely perfect beach bags so I couldn’t resist choosing two. Everything was right about these two, size, pattern, shape and functionality level…
This roomy bag not only has two top handles but an embellished shoulder strap as well which makes total sense.

This Santa Ana Weekender has a great shape and size, and I absolutely love the detailed paisley embroidery on it.

Santa Ana Weekender: $128
Lastly, a beach trip just wouldn’t be the same without a roomy, traditional straw bag. The Gap of course has done a classic take on one.

Structured Straw Tote: $34.99
