Beach-Bound & Chic! Easy-Breezy Style for Fun in the Sun & Apres Soleil. FASHIONTRIBES FASHION BLOG

If you're headed to the beach and planning to go out afterwards (or just want to look cute to & fro) - and god knows, you don't want to schelp a suitcase worth of gear to change into later - the secret is stylish stuff that multitasks. Go for a coverup that doubles as a cute summer dress, and metallic sandals & a roomy tote that are beachworthy & practical, but still dressy enough for nocturnal non-beach activities. Add some fun accessories - Jackie O shades & headscarf, a few pieces of St. Tropez'esque statement jewelry, glam lipgloss with SPF - and prepare to turn heads on & off the beach.
