Girls, it’s all about the bag, and the reason we love this one is, it has a top drawstring closure lining (no dropping items in the sand!), a detachable pompom and beaded accents, and it’s handmade. Portable, big enough for all the gear you need to take with you, this is one handbag you’ll be happy you packed!

We can’t sport our bikinis everywhere, but what’s the point of wearing a hot swimsuit if we put something frumpy over it? Sexy, sporty and the perfect cover-up for the beach or the pool, we are in love with this maxi dress by Vitamin A. It’s soft, flowy, and gives you the right amount of modesty when you need to go to lunch or just out for a stroll.

A one-piece never looked as good as this one by Stone Fox. The peek-a-boo side slits are a wink and a nod to its sexy cousin, the bikini, proving one-pieces can sometimes be even hotter than two. Available in a variety of floral prints and vibrant colours, this is one item you can’t afford to forget.

No one likes showing up to the beach looking like they’ve spent the entire winter indoors. Which is why this Coconut Body Glow by Kopari is one essential you cannot be without. It gives your skin a sun-kissed glow with just the right amount of shimmer. The gardenia-scented oil glides on and stays on, but because it contains shealight, it does so without a greasy layer. Best of all, it’s silicone-, sulphate-, paraben- and GMO-free. Win-win, girls!
