Beach Ready

It is official, summer is really coming and already with a ticket booked for some sunny destinations, it is time to renew a few items for your suitcase. I've picked something just to give you an idea of what to put in your beach bag, starting from your beach bag and also a couple of beachwear as well.

First of all we need a new beach bag. This Capriccioli by Antonello Tedde  is a huge bag where you can store all your essentials for a day out. This particular model is made of linen and cotton and it is hand woven and hand stitched in Sardinia. Find  more colours at www.matchesfashion.com or at Liberty in London. www.antonellotedde.co.uk

This gorgeous tunic is the Beziers model by Fantasie. I like the contrast between the monochrome and the bright yellow. From this range you can match either bikini or a swimsuit. With a pair of trousers or a skirt this tunic can be worn  all day, for a touristic stroll and an evening meal. www.fantasie.com

Sunglasses are never enough and when on holiday it might happens that they break or get lost. The best advice? Go to Primark and stock up on these fabulous sunnies, you can match them depending on your outfit and if anything happens to them you've got at least another pair or more. www.primark.com

A pair of flip flops is  a must when on holiday. Havaianas has got a huge collection and this pair with sushi pattern is lovely.  Avoid walking on hot sand or pebbles beaches, or you can wear them while walking with your feet on the shore (great ankles massage). Also flip flops are vital when using communal showers and they can double up as slippers in your room. www.havaianas-store.com

A wicker tote bag could be an option for the beach and this East bag in red bulrushes is spacious enough. Leather details like the shoulder straps and cotton lining make this bag great to be used all day. Just wipe it clean with a damp cloth. www.east.co.uk

Always wear a hat when at the beach or when around in a sunny place. Protect your face and your head from the sun rays in order to have your skin younger for longer. This Eleanor panama by Christy's Hats is beautiful and the Liberty print trim is the right final touch. It is made of panama straw and it will take 7 to 10 days to hand make it here in UK. www.christys-hats.com

Just landed in store and online this gorgeous Souls City swimwear by Freya. Three styles of tops for this model. Here you can see the crop top but also the plunge and bandeau tops are available as well as two different styles of briefs, high waist or normal. The cup sizes for the plunge top are  from D to HH while for the bandeau top, cup sizes are from C to G. www.freyalingerie.com

Keep your fruit and vegetables snacks in this Cath Kidston mini cool bag so that you can have your lunch on the beach without having to leave your sunny spot. At Cath Kidston there is a range of outdoors items with different sizes of cool bags and melamine crockery for a stylish picnic on the beach. www.cathkidston.com
