Must Haves: Summer Fashion & Beach Basics
Summer has arrived! It’s time for beach days, boat nights, dinner dates and late night ice cream. We want to make sure you have everything you need for your days in the sun and you nights on the town. We shopped at all of the best stores in the area to come up with your ultimate summer must have list for beach essentials and summer fashion.

This orange, terry cloth Sole Tote by Shiraleah is perfect for a day on the beach or the boat. It’s large enough to fit all of your essentials and easy to throw in the washing machine for a quick cleanup. The zip top and front pocket will keep your valuable secure and dry. There are many other colors available, so pick one up for each day of the week.
