The Best Beach and Pool Bags from Summer Reading

I feel like the second we have a warm day and the sun shines consistently, I start to crave Summer more than any other time of year. It’s probably something you’re sick of hearing about, but I can’t help it. I am a Summer girl through and through! The best part of Summer? Endless hours reading at the pool and beach.

I feel unbelievably grateful that our last two homes have had pools. Growing up by the water, my summers were defined by swimming and enjoying the privilege of cooling off on the hottest days. With the hotter days and trips to the pool/beach, comes needing a bag for your books and SPF!

Structured Raffia Tote

I love J.Crew and J.Crew Factory so much but I also am a sucker for raffia/straw totes. This one is so good and the perfect size to bring to the pool.

Classic Boat n Tote

I am obsessed with these bags. They are classic, timeless, and hold up so well! I have the small, medium, and large totes. I also prefer to get the long handles on mine so it’s easier to throw over my shoulder or put in my suitcase if I’m using it as my personal item on a plane.

Book Bag Tote

I love this cute bag from Rebel and Fleur, a bookish small business!

Personalized Straw Tote

I scroll this website way too often and I wish I could have my entire home decorated with their products.

Caning Natural Tote

I got this bag back in February for a beach trip I had to cancel, but I love it and I can’t wait to take it on vacation this Summer! There is also a small purse version that I think will be great for Summer date nights!

Hat Strap Bag

I see people using these bags in the airport all the time and I think it’s such a brilliant idea!

Mini Raffia Purse

I bought this last year and I was SO sad when I had to put it away in the Fall. It’s the most perfect every day Summer bag that can transition to the evening if it needs to! Plus, fits a book and Kindle.

Are you a beach, lake, or pool person? I love them all for different reasons! The lake is my favorite for the overall vibes. I love the convenience of the pool! And the beach always feels like a special treat and a reminder of home.
