I love the beach, it is my happy place. Granted, I don't spend nearly enough time going there, but part of the reason I can't live in a land locked state is simply knowing that I can get to the ocean in under an hour. I grew up in New Jersey and spent summers going "down the shore" as we Jersey natives refer to it, I have been to handful of Caribbean islands, with many more on my list, and would retire to one today if I could. Give me an large umbrella, a cocktail, relaxing lounge and a view of the waves and I am in heaven. Of course, I also need the perfect beach bag to carry all my stuff. In today's accessorizing post I am going to share some covetable beach bags for you to consider for your upcoming trip to the beach, pool or whatever body of water you prefer.

For this beachy look, I used this swimsuit from J. Crew and styled it with a pair of denim shorts from Lucky Brand, a chambray shirt, that can be worn open to cover the shoulders, from Madewell, yellow flip flops from Nordstrom and Ray Ban aviators.
Beach Bag #2
In this outfit, I used a turquoise Bogg bag and styled it with this swimsuit with sporty bottoms and bikini top from Boden, a coral Athleta cover up, white Birkenstock sandals and polarized sunglasses from Oakley.
Beach Bag #3
I styled this beach bag with a burgundy swimsuit from The Gap, an easy J. Crew cover up in white, soft purple Havaianas flip flops and sunglasses from Jimmy Choo.
Beach Bag #4
In this look, I used this bikini ( top, bottom) from Tory Burch, that is reversible, and added this chic cover up from Rebecca Taylor. For this chic vacation ensemble, I added a pair of silver sandals from BCBGeneration, a navy straw hat from Nordstrom and navy sunglasses from Lily Pulitzer.
Beach Bag #5
This bag is styled with a charcoal bathing suit from J. Crew, a tunic shirt that can stylishly cover up (the only type of cover up I usually wear), a large black and white brimmed hat from Modcloth, that will really make a statement, black slides from Seychelles and black sunglasses from Marc by Marc Jacobs.
