Our fashion editor, Kasey, is sneaking us a peek of her 11 beach-day musts, from cover-ups to insulated water bottles and more. Take a look, then top up your bag and find a spot on the sand.

The Bag
Macbeth Collection Scuba Tote
“Novelty beach bags are so fun right now. I like how this one has classic appeal that easily transitions from beach to street.”
The Contents
Basta Surf Reversible High-Neck Top & Retro Bottom
“The swimsuit of summer is definitely the high-neck halter – it’s perfect for the active beach girl!”
Chach Tunic
“A convertible cover-up is the unsung hero of my summer wardrobe, so I like to pick a style that can double as a dress or top and wear it everywhere during the day.”
TKEES Leather Sandal
“Trends come and go, but flip-flops are forever. And this ombré pair goes with absolutely everything.”
Bonita Beach Collection Roundie Towel
“This trendy towel makes me feel like the cool kid at the beach. How festive is the pineapple print and fringe trim?”
COOLA Cucumber Face Sunscreen SPF 30
“Going organic with sunscreen is super important to me (and my sensitive skin) – but so is protection, which is why I’m obsessed with all things COOLA. Bonus points for the fresh cucumber scent.”
COOLA SPF 30 Lip Treatment
“I swear by this all-in-one lip protector – it has SPF and keeps my lips super smooth, no matter how hot it gets outside.”
Breakups to Makeup Nail Jelly Clutch
“I always carry a clutch in my beach bag to protect my essentials. I love that this one is waterproof and kind of quirky.”
CÉLINE Sunglasses
“When they’re a little bit retro and a lot stylish, I’m always willing to splurge on the perfect pair of shades.”
Signature Home Stainless Steel Water Bottle
“It’s official… not all water bottles are created equal. This stylish version keeps my drink cold all day and comes with a convenient carrying case.”
Michael Stars Floppy Hat
“I love multifunctional fashion, and this straw hat blocks harmful rays while also making a personal style statement. It’s my number one must-have accessory during the summer months!”
