Mexico is all I’ve got on my brain lately. I leave in less than six days! I’ve been making packing lists in my head and today worked on my beach/pool bag.
I picked up this Lilly Pulitzer Beach Bag
1. Snapea Crisps 2. Kate Spade Card Holder 3. Ray Ban Wayfarer 4. Target Thong Sandals 5. iPad Mini
That being said, if I only have one thing in my bag it’s sunscreen. I’m as Irish as they come and take sun protection seriously. I want to keep those wrinkles away! I swear by Goddess Garden sunscreen.
I also love to have snacks to munch on and water to drink to stay hydrated. Hangry is a real emotion for me and it is not a pleasant one. I love how Snapea Crisps are crunchy and salty without being completely horrible for you.
I don’t plan on needing any cards this vacation but I like to have my ID on me at all times. I spotted this cute little card holder from Kate Spade and fell in love.
I have at least ten pairs of sunglasses and only wear my Wayfarers. They go with everything and are so cute. I really need to sell the rest of my collection. I have Christian Diors just gathering dust.
When Josh and I were in Target this past weekend we both picked up flip flops to wear around the hotel. I got these cute thong sandals in black for less than $20!
I really hope to catch up on some reading on the trip. I’ve got Outlander
Gum, lipgloss, and hair ties are staples in any bag I’m carrying. I also always have a hair brush, too. Like I said, I like to be prepared! 😀
Questions of the Day: What do you always pack in your beach bag? Is it easy for you to pack light or do you tend to bring everything but the kitchen sink? Do you have a trip coming up that you’re looking forward to?
This is such a cute list and I love that Lilly bag!! Sunscreen, a book or a magazine, towels, water, and snacks are essentials in my beach bag!
I am not a nice person if I don’t have snacks! haha I’m glad you liked this post! 🙂
I so miss the beach right now!! I just want to take a road trip down to Florida instead of going into work haha. I always keep a good sunscreen in my bag since I’m a pale little thing myself and I have to have a good book or some magazines since I get very restless just laying out.
I get restless too! That’s when I turn to a book, music, or a margarita! haha
Mexicooooo, whoo! So pumped for you! Enjoy the sunshine; soak up some for me. Your beach bag sounds perfect!

Thanks Nicole! It was a fun post to put together!
I might have to unfollow you on instagram during this vacation – my jealousy will be at an all time high 😉
No kidding. We should plan TONS of fun things to do while she is gone 😉 hehe
Thanks guys. I’m feeling the love. 😉
😀
Have fun on your trip! Sounds amazing!
Thanks Sara! I’m so excited!
So jealous of your warm vacation! I think a cooler is better than a beach bag because then your stuff won’t overheat in the sun 😉
So true!!
Sunscreen, a book, and some cute sunglasses is all I need. My iPad doesn’t work well in the sun so a paper book it is. I love the beach! Have fun in Mexico!
I have a non-reflection screen on my iPad and find it minimizes glare really well!
My iPad and sunscreen are musts for me!! I’m doing a what’s in my gym bag tomorrow 🙂 cute blog!!

Ohh I’ll have to check that out!
I typically pack way too much stuff the first day and then after that end up only bringing the essentials out with me. I get tired of carting a heavy bag with me after a while!
Have fun on your trip 🙂
Heavy bags are not fun. That’s when I turn to Josh. 😉
I always bring a magazine and bottle of water with me in my beach bag. But if I have extra time to throw stuff in there I always over pack with extra clean clothes, food, towels, a pen, a notebook, and sunscreen (for some reason no matter how hard I try the sun refuses to give me the slightest tan).
Have fun in Mexico!!!
You have such a gorgeous glow to your skin I don’t think you need a tan!
I love the lilly insulated cooler! I almost bought one the other day lol, such a cute post, I keep half of those things in my beach bag too 🙂

I love the cooler! It’s funny because it was in the kitchen section and when I first saw it I was like, “Why is there a beach bag in the home goods section?” haha
I have this bag! I got it a few years ago and it’s honestly the best! I use it during the winter to lug my cold groceries to and from the store. 🙂
I love it! I think it is so cute! I’m excited to use it in Mexico. 😀
