Beach Bangle


So this weekend I rode my bike to the beach. I am not sure why but the season's first trip to the sand is like an event. Of course the choice of bikini and sundress is key, but equally important are the choice of accessories. Beach accessories need to be compatible with sand and sun. I chose to wear a simple wooden bangle pulled up onto my forearm.
I think a bracelet or even a stacked few are an easy simple way to add an accessory to your bathing suit style without looking like you are trying to hard. Here are a few I found at shopbop that I think work well.



Dannijo Loma Stingray Cuff



Motif 56 Alega Bracelet



Alex and Ani Dirty Martini Expandable Wire Bangle Set


Kenneth Jay Lane Snake Print Bangle


Jadetribe Beaded Cuff


Gorjana Graham Leather Studded Bracelet


Marc by Marc Jacobs Wild at Heart Bangle

  5. Yes, I love wearing a single bangle to the beach with my bathing suit. I also love Marissa Miller. Could she possibly be any more perfect? I also agree that the first trip to the sand every year is an "event". It makes me feel like it's the beginning of summer and gets me excited for the months/beach days to come.
