summer is here, and my beach bag is packed with elevated essentials that blend skincare, fashion, and a touch of sunset-ready glam. whether you're planning a relaxing day by the sea or a spontaneous dinner by the shore, these are my must-haves for 2025.
first up: the ami paris two-tone cotton beach towel — effortlessly cool and perfect for lounging in style. it’s soft, absorbent, and makes a statement without trying too hard. for skincare, I never hit the sand without the caudalie grape water hydrating face mist. It's a refreshing boost that keeps my skin calm and hydrated under the sun.

sun protection is non-negotiable, and the skinceuticals physical fusion UV defense SPF 50 is my go-to. lightweight, mineral-based, and tinted, it evens out my skin tone while providing serious sun protection. shielding my eyes are the miu miu MU 52YS round-frame metal sunglasses — a retro-modern dream that completes any beach look.

for that effortless transition from beach to dinner, I will choose the new sia earrings from CINCO in my bag. elegant yet minimal, they add just the right amount of sparkle. and of course, no beach day is complete without a good read. this summer, I’m diving into “good girl” by aria aber — a poetic and powerful collection that fits perfectly into my summer vibe.
