It’s a new month, and a new theme.
This month it’s all about the beach.
The sand, sun and all things hot.
If you ask me it’s relevant in Malaysia since we have summer all year around.
And I adore flip flops, shorts and denim skirts.
Since I’m the first to start with the blogging for our new theme,
I’m going to blog about “5 essential must-haves to complete your beach look”
1. A big beach bag / tote.
Let’s be reasonable, we need a lot of stuff at the beach. If there’s one place that everything can go wrong, it’s the beach. It makes no sense to carry everything in your hands, so why not take this opportunity to make it fashionable?
The perfect swim wear fits u well (it should not be too small or too big) , flatters your figure ( emphasizes your good bits, and hide your flaws), and is comfortable to move around in (there will be swimming, jumping and walking involved).
3. Head cover up.
The beach can easily damage your hair. Between the heat and the salt water, u need something to protect, tame and manage your hair. The (loose curls) beach hair look is great, but not often achievable. So why not opt for the second best thing instead and protect ur head and face from harsh heat? Hat, cap or scarf is up to you.
The perfect head cover up should be the right size (a hat that keeps falling too far down is not fashionable), it should stay in place (u might want to wear ur cap when u swim, or a gush of wind could blow past), and it should be a material water won’t damage too much (although I would not recommend anything plastic).
4. Beach cover up
We can’t exactly wear something impossible when we go to the beach. It comes off before we swim, and comes back on after. So it’s gotta be easy and breezy. Stay away white’s (it could get too transparent) and too thick materials (too heavy and too hot).
The perfect beach cover up should be light and flowy (it is the beach, and therefore it does get hot), it should be slightly loose, as to not cling too visibly (and sticking to the airy theme), and it should be in warm colours (that the sun will further just enhance, giving you more of a glow).
5. Flip flops / slippers
It’s all about getting sand between your toes, but rocks and tiny stones cutting you are not fun. And times when the sun is so hot, it heats up the sand and standing on the ground hurts. Ouch. So you can say slippers are mandatory. It doesn’t hurt that they’re cute and comfortable.
The perfect flip flops / slippers are the perfect size (to ur feet, of course), are comfortable to walk in (for those long romantic walks on the beach, when u choose to not go barefoot), and are made of appropriate materials (any slippers with fabrics and sequince/stones should be handled with extreme care at the beach).
Until next week, when I start my hunt for the perfect beach buys.
Do let me know, if your looking for anything specific.
Life's a beach.

The perfect bag, is big enough for all ur junk (sunglasses, sunscreen, leave on conditioner, tanning oil,an mp3, and of course ur camera), is durable to sand and water (leather at the beach? Lol,no) and compliments your outfit (if you bag has prints, make sure ur swim suit has none. Only one of them can be your focal point)
2. Swim wear.
When people think beach, bikinis come to mind. And yes we are young and we have every reason to flaunt. But bikinis should not be our only option. And luckily it isn’t. There are many different types of swim wear, what suits others may not suit you. Different is not always bad, u just need the confidence to pull it off.
