Summer Is In The Beach Bag!

Living directly across from a beautiful beach, one would think I get there often. The truth is I don't. But I do love a good beach bag. No matter, if you go to the beach, the pool, or the farmers market, we all need a chic carryall for Summer. Enjoy this roundup of my favorite finds for the beach and beyond.

HERE: 15 Beautiful Bags

Echo New York  

Waikiki Convertible Towel Tote
The perfect gift for yourself or a beach loving BFF. This beautiful bag turns into a beach towel with the pull of a zipper. Pretty cool!
