Beachy Keen

Beach season is here and it's time to get your gear and head to the ocean. The sand beneath your toes, the breeze in your hair, and the warm sun glistening apon your newly toned body. Here are my picks for beach essentials.

St. Tropez Bar Bandeau One Piece Bathing Suit $268 at FreePeople.com

This is the sexiest way to wear a one piece while hiding your belly if you aren't feeling as toned as you'd like. It's a tad expensive but worth the investment for such a great suit.

Mara Hoffman Geometric Turquoise Bandeau Bikini $168 at Shopbop.com

LOVE this print. Super boho and fun for summer.

Tie-Dye Voluminous Tunic $48 at Arden B.

This is the perfect beach cover up with its summer beachy tie-dye effect and a little sparkle to look fabulous at the beach.

Linda Farrow Luxe Luxe 15 Horn Sunglasses $440 at Net-a-porter.com

These are so chic, and different. A bit pricey, but if you can afford it, good for you because I can't :-/

City Style Aviator Color Frame Sunglasses $16.50 at New York & Co.

For the more frugal gal, these are bright, upbeat and rocker sexy.

Women's Mossimo Penina Gladiator Sandal in Tan $21.99 at Target

I own these. They look way more expensive than they are in real life, uber comfy and they go with everything. Perfect for hitting the sand followed by a stroll on the boardwalk.

Diane Von Furstenberg Women's Rialto Flat Sandal $164 at Bloomingdales.

For the girl with the bigger budget, these are super fab!

Gap Canvas Tote $34.99 in Navy and Orange

Great large size and canvas comfort to carry all your beach goodies.

Juicy Couture Wool Felt Floppy Hat $51 at Bloomingdales.

A glamorous way to cover up from the sun!

Burt's Bees SPF 30 Sunscreen $15 at Macys

SPF 30 AT LEAST girls! You can get a tan without the burn! Get that into your head :)

Softlips Lip Proctectant/Sunscreen in Strawberry $2.99 at Walgreens

Don't forget your puckeroos! They can get burnt too.

The Luxe $8.99 at Barnes and Noble

Whats the beach without a good beach read? This one, recommended by Barnes and Noble is a tale about the death of a Manhattan socialite in the 1900's. Drama, scandal and glamour. What could be better?

Big Brown Towl $40 at Bloomingdales.

Its cute, its obviously bloomies. I just love it.

Frederic Fakkai Summer Hair Beach Waves $23 at SkinStore.com

Sexy beach waves are a must and this spray contains marine waters to give you actual beach hair!
