Beach bag essentials

I'm sorry it's took a while to finally post this but when I look out of the window to see rain and dull skies I'm not really inspired to write a summery post - no surprise there! Plus, the gloomy weather makes it quite difficult to take the perfect photo so apologies if they're not …
