The Perfect Beach Bag

The perfect beach bag is a summer essential. Requirements: must be stylish, durable enough for beach, pool and sun exposure, and machine washable. Fun prints are a plus. From left to right: Nylon Tate Tote by Marc by Marc Jacobs (love the vibrant, global-inspired print); Generation Y Canvas Tote by Juicy Couture (looks like it can withstand anything); Earth-Friendly Canvas Tote by Dogeared (notice the cute "listen to your mother" text). All can be found at Nordstrom and are relatively inexpensive so you can justify purchasing more than one ;)
