Are you ready for the weekend? I know I am! Summer is here and packing your beach essentials for the weekend are a must. I love this Rewilder cornerstone caution bag. It’s perfect to fit all your beach essentials and it’s handcrafted in LA from repurposed filter cloth and climbing ropes, talk about repurposing materials. They have been nominated for the eco award for the upcoming International Handbag Design Awards, if you want to learn more about the great work they’re doing, check out their site and read more about their inspiring story. The Rewilder block caution pouch is great to keep all your small beach essentials such as sunblock, chapstick… shall I go on? The Rewilder cozy caution bag is one of my favorites, it’s compact but roomy so you can pack your laptop to work or take a bottle of wine, a book and some small apps to the park for a summer picnic. Make sure to pack a nautical stripe pop of color outfit such as this super cute Topshop striped jacquard a-line dress that is all about giving you that structured figure you want. The waist fit will shape perfectly around your body and you’ll be beach ready. Add a statement feminine straw hat like this fabulous J.Crew wide brimmed hat that is so glamorous every IT girl is wearing it this season. To add a pop of color to your feet, try these striking cobalt Aquazzura Belgravia suede espadrille wedge sandals for a bohemian chic look.
