Beach Bag "Must Haves" with Luxe + Lillies

While Sam & I enjoy our last bit of vacation, Keely of luxe + lillies is sharing her summer essentials.  Keely's blog is a daily read for me.  I hope you have all had a great week!  Stay tuned for next week when I share a few fun wedding details.

Hey Peak of Tres Chic readers, I'm Keely from luxe + lillies, and am excited to be visiting over here and sharing with you my beach bag must haves! Since the lake is my go-to place, I love to have versatile pieces that will work for lounging in the sun, grabbing a bite at a wharf, and hanging out with friends...

It's key to have a great canvas tote that you can throw all of your stuff into, but I also always bring a smaller purse [this one is monogrammed!]. Currently I'm reading 7 Years Younger which is an awesome compilation by Good Housekeeping of products, tips and tricks to take 7 years off your age. 

Speaking of age, good sunscreens for your skin and lips are essential - as is a little low key jewelry to make your "outfit" pop. If you still like a bikini but are more comfortable with a little extra coverage, this geometric mid-kini is cute and affordable. I looovvvee this Roberta Roller Rabbit coverup, it doubles as a pretty adorable dress too, right? 

Finally, some versatile shoes and sunnies. I'm not one to bring my favorite pair, or most expensive - it just doesn't make sense when things go in the water too easily. I love that these d'orsay inspired flats are super chic for day or night, and these sunglasses are a little Karen Walker-esque.

Thanks for having me, Sam!
