10 best... summer beach essentials
- Monsoon maxi dress
Perfect for an early evening stroll on the beach – this dress is classic Monsoon and the bold prints are bang on trend. Team with statement jewellery and bronzed skin.
- Primark zebra bikini
Animal prints are everywhere this summer and this flattering zebra print bikini from Primark is perfect for the beach. Team with a sheer, white kaftan and some killer sandals and you'll be ready to rock the beach.
- French Connection beach cover-up
Bold prints were hot on the catwalks and this cover-up from French Connection works the trend perfectly. This cover-up would work brilliantly on the beach, at the beach bar or for a more modest stroll around at dusk team with hot-pants or leggings.
- ASOS swim suit
We love this stunning chocolate swimsuit. It's the perfect 'lounge at the beach bar, sipping cocktails while looking fabulous' kinda swimsuit. The bottom is relatively low cut, and the top is loose which helps cover up any lumps and bumps you don't want to share with the world.
- Dorothy Perkins necklace
Bold statement jewellery is fierce this season. Make like the Sex and the City girls and team this piece with your swimsuit for a glamorous look. When the sun sets and it's time to hit the beach bar, add a kaftan or maxi dress and you're good to go.
- Jee Vice sunglasses
Carrie, Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte all wore Jee Vice sunglasses for the latest Sex and the City 2 movie. The range comes from French designer Philippe Vergez and is inspired by vintage shapes of the 50's to the 70's. Fabulous!
- French Connection bag
The perfect beach tote. Just the right size to throw in a kaftan, a great book, your iPod and some sun cream.
- Marks and Spencer sarong
The indispensable sarong is a must for the beach. Depending on which way you tie it it's a skirt or a dress, and you can even use it as a bag. Marks and Spencer are great for beach basics and this turquoise sarong ticks all the boxes.
- Burt's Bees aloe and linden flower after sun soother
This non-greasy aftersun lotion is perfect for your skin after a day on the beach. The all-natural ingredients, including coconut oil, bee pollen and glycerine will help sooth and replace the lost moisture.
- Wide brim hat
We all know how important it is to protect your skin. Sun cream is a must – but a wide brim hat not only looks cool – but it will protect your skin from aging exposure to the sun. We love this wide brim straw hat from Kangol but if you wanted to splash the cash try Liberty of London for wide-brim hats with their signature prints.
