BEACH BAG: I like a heavy-duty bag with lots of room for all the things the kids need at the beach.
COVER UP: One of my favorite labels,
Thomas Wylde, has a beautiful chiffon
cover-up that I wear all the time, and J.Crew cotton sweaters are comfortable and inexpensive.

BEFORE THE BEACH: I always use
Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess to add a little color.

Eres bikinis, they’re sexy but comfortable.

NAIL POLISH: I like the whiter nude because it looks great on tan skin.
SUNGLASSES: I have
way too many pairs of sunglasses to have a favorite!
COVER UP: I found a cute dress from this boutique
Wink in New York that I’ll be getting good use out of this summer.
FUN: I always pack a game and some orange slice snacks to go to the beach. It’s hilarious to play a few rounds of Scattergories on the beach with friends while listening to music and getting some sun.

BIKINI: Zoe swimsuits. They have them in a million different colors and embellishments. Plus they’re easy to ball up and throw in your bag.
BOOK: I’m in the middle of reading
American Wife right now by Curtis Sittenfeld.
iPHONE: It has my phone, camera, and iPod all in one. Never leaves my side. I love happy, upbeat music during the summer. Dave Matthews Band, O.A.R., Killers, Black Eyed Peas, Avett Brothers. The list really goes on and on.
PRODUCT: I color my hair and I have
soooo much of it so I have to take good care of it.
Kerastase has a great spray that is basically an SPF for your hair. It also has these natural oils that make the hair texture really soft and wavy. It just protects it from sun, chlorine, etc.

SPF: Neutrogena sunblock. It’s really gentle and one of the few that doesn’t sting my eyes or clog my skin!
COVER UP: Denim cutoff shorts (I’ve had my worn-in pair for ages and wear them all the time), a baggy tee/tank, and Birkenstocks!
Soooo comfy.
JEWELRY: I have two little studs in my left ear that always stay in, but I don’t wear anything more than that. I’d be too paranoid that I would lose it in the ocean! I definitely have sunglasses on me at all times.
SUNGLASSES: Ray-Bans are classic and my favorite.
SNACK: The safest bet is cold water and raw nuts. Neither will melt in the sun and they are healthy!
FUN: Travel Scrabble for sure and a deck of cards. I hang out with the guys a lot, so I’ve picked up a few card games. (Still haven’t learned poker!)
