New Surf Showstopper Beach Purse | Small Waterproof Black Wristlet for Swimming

LaurenK — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 20:45:49 +0000

Keeping your essential items safe and dry on the beach has just become easier thanks to Going Dancing. The Australian brand has just added the waterproof Surf Showstopper to its range of Showstopper wrist bags.

Unlike traditional wristlets which dangle from the wrist, the Surf Showstopper is worn like a watch. Simple strap it on and forget about it while jogging along the beach or hitting the waves.

As you might expect from a purse designed to be worn on the wrist, the Showstoppers are pretty small. Rather than looking to replace your beach bag, they're designed to carry the items you don't want to leave on the shore like your loose change, vital cards, car keys, and cell phone.

The Surf Showstopper is available in both small and large sizes, although sadly they're both only available in basic black. Hopefully it's only a matter of time before we see more interesting waterproof designs; something like the brand's flowery corsage bags or cow printed classic purses would allow the Showstopper to live up to its head-turning name.

Both sizes of Surf Showstopper are available for $59.95 from Going Dancing's online store.

Victoria’s Secret Summer Beach Tote | Casual Ombre Pink & Orange Woven Straw Handbag

LaurenK — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 08:39:52 +0000

Victoria's Secret is famous for its sexy lingerie and swimwear, but with this beach tote the brand shows its more practical side.

This beach bag embraces summer with its casual straw body and vibrant ombre colors. A tote in pink and orange might not work on the city streets, but it's perfect for time spent on the sand. Perhaps Victoria's Secret should have offered us a few more color options, but I'm sure girly girls will lap up these vivid hues.

The tightly woven colored straw is offset by silvery synthetic handles and pale green zig-zag stitching. We also get a peek at the contrasting aqua blue fabric lined interior. All those colors could easily have looked cluttered, but by keeping the design simple and the body pattern-free Victoria's Secret pulls it off.

This beach tote's design is simple but serviceable. I like the platform base, which helps the bag sit up in the sand. Some girls may long for organizational pockets, but I prefer the uncluttered interior which seems tailor-made for carrying large items like a towel, flip flops, and a magazine. The magnetic snap closure hides these goodies away from prying eyes.

This Victoria's Secret tote isn't the most luxurious bag, but for less than $30 we wouldn't expect that. It does the job, and looks quite cute while doing it!

Roxy Wild Side Tote | Pink Striped Cotton Canvas Beach Bag

LaurenK — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 08:02:19 +0000

Carry your towel, glossy magazine, and other summer essentials to the beach in style with this Wild Side Tote from Roxy.

I must say that its name seems like a bit of a misnomer though. There's very little about this tote that walks on the wild side; its wide horizontal stripes are decidedly laid back as is its soft, slouchy cotton canvas body. I don't think that's a flaw, as most of us want to take it easy in summer, but it's worth noting if you were expecting studs and chains!

It might not be edgy, but I can imagine this tote easily complementing your summer wardrobe. I've fallen for the feminine charms of this pink and white striped beach bag, but there are four more color combinations if you'd prefer something less girly.

This tote is well appointed by beach bag standards. The interior is fully lined and packed with pockets of the slip and zip variety. There's plenty of usable space too, so you should have no dramas fitting everything you need to survive summer inside.

At $32, Roxy may not have delivered edge but it has given us a lot of value for our money with this Wild Side tote.

DKNY Beach Shopper Bag | Clear PVC Medium Handbag with Colored Trim

LaurenK — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 06:23:22 +0000

DKNY might be based in America's East, but it seems to have a great understanding of what West Coast girls need. Here the label makes it easy to stay organized at the beach with this transparent shopper bag.

The handbag's clear PVC body is jazzed up with bold red, yellow, or black trim and handles. The transparent body is more than simply eye-catching though. It makes it easy to find your sunglasses, sunscreen, and other beach essentials at a glance. And with the open top design, it's easy to access them too.

Of course, there are some things that you want to keep away from prying eyes and sticky fingers. That's where the colored zippered pocket comes in. This pocket is large enough to carrying all your valuables, including your wallet, keys and jewelry. That should give you some peace of mind while you're enjoying yourself in the surf.

I like the easy marriage of casual good looks and practical perks here, but I'm not sure that makes this shopper worth almost $100. We are essentially getting a plastic bag after all, so it seems we might be paying for the label rather than the product. If that's your thing though, the bold DKNY logo should help to justify the cost.

LyleF — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 18:33:48 +0000

Tory Burch's insignia has become quite the iconic representation of classy footwear. But the brand has a line of bags as well, which includes this glitzy Metallic Beach Tote. This bag belongs on the arms of Blake Lively as she struts around or beach vacations.

For the price of $325, at least this bag can claim that it doesn't look out of place when you take it off the beach. The website suggests it's a worthy airplane bag as well. What makes this bag so versatile is the metallic gold leather, which can go on the beach or on city streets.

It's dimensions (12" H x 20" W x 6" D) promise that you can pack a fool beach day's snacks, a towel, sunscreen, and magazines into it's two zip-close compartments and two interior pockets.

While the Tory Burch website only lists gold as a color option, there seem to be other color variations available as well: silver, black metallic, navy, green.

This look is perfect if you want to bring your urban edge to the beach, but you have to be comfortable with the fact that you're bringing your real-leather bag to the rough outdoors of the beach.
