What's In My Bag: Beach Edition

{ Bag: Adidas //  Panama Hat: H&M // Water Bottle: Lululemon // Sunscreen: Coppertone // Sunglasses: Giorgio Armani // Beach Towel: TNA (Aritzia) // Bikini: Seven }

One of my absolute favourite things to do in the summer is to soak in the sun and be a beach bum. Of course, I always practice safe sun smarts and wear a minimum of SPF 50 along with a hat to protect my face. The rest of my beach bag gear includes the usual suspects: sunnies, a magazine, a cute bikini, water, and a beach towel (with a beach mat layered underneath for added support). Below is a round-up of my beach bag essentials. What are your must-pack items for a day in the sun, sand and sea?

Guest Post: Alison of alison*elle

Hi everyone! I'm Alison from alison*elle and I'm so excited to be filling in for Marisa while she's away. For those of you who aren't familiar with me or my blog, alison*elle is a space where I share my thoughts on various makeup and beauty products, daily outfits, and snippets from my life in Vancouver (as well as Calgary, where I'm living temporarily).

Today's look is very typical of my usual cool weather outfits...neutral tones and basic shapes topped with a chunky knit.

Thanks again to Marisa for having me! I hope you'll stop by alison*elle to say "hi" :)
