What's in my Beach Bag?

Coach Poppy Graffiti Tote.
At the end of last summer I decided not to hold out any longer... I finally purchased this Coach Poppy Graffiti Tote.  I had my eye on it for some time, with the intention of using it for the beach and for when I go on cruises.


Today, I was able to use it - it was the perfect day for the beach - so off we went, Coach tote in tow...

And it worked out perfectly!  I don't like to carry my whole life to the beach with me, but there are a few essentials that I need and they did fit perfectly into this tote.


What's in my Beach Bag?
So, what exactly do I carry around in there?
- iPhone
- iPad
- Sub Zero stainless water bottle
- Car Keys - Gustto Alina Leather Coin Purse
- Novel - Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett
- Mini battery operated fan
- Bejewelled Tissue Clutch Bag from Accessorize
- Cosmetic bag with:
*Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment SPF 15
*Fresh Sugar Hand Cream
*iPhone earphones
*Liquid Face Product - DDF (Doctor's Dermatologic Formula) Ultra-Lite Oil-Free Moisturizing Dew
*Kerstin Florian Correcting Oil-Free Daily Defense SPF 50
*Sircuit Cosmeceuticals - Molecular Mist
*Tweezerman tweezers
*hair clip
*hair band
*Sleep Pretty in Pink earplugs
*Prada tissue holder

*Advil
*Trident Xtra Care in Cool Mint
*pen?
*nail tool??
Coach Poppy Beach Towel
I usually hate everything to match exactly, but I couldn't resist this Coach beach towel - a perfect way to camouflage the tote! ;-)
