Luxe for Less: Time to Head to the Beach!
| By: Fate | ||
It is scorching in New York City. Every single year, right when the mercury hits 95, I ask myself why I haven’t hit the lottery yet. You know, the one that would allow me to summer on a yacht, traveling the world, away from the rancid smells of festering New York City. Believe me, you haven’t experienced unpleasantness until you’re standing at a New York City crosswalk, willing the light to change so that you can get away from the trash bins that house rapidly rotting who-knows-what with the aid of the heat and humidity. Take my word for it: if you visit New York, try to go in the spring or fall. Alas, I don’t even play the lottery so the best I can do is wait for the one week during the summer when I get to escape to my little seaside townhouse in Cape Cod. Until then, I seek respite from the heat by shopping for my dream Nice/Morocco/Mediterranean post-lottery cruise beach wear.
Of course, post-lottery, I’d spring for the ultimate beach bag: The Emilio Pucci Sundial Canvas Beach Bag.

Instead, Luxe for Less guru that I am, I’d suggest this Emilio Pucci tote:
Of course, if you’d rather pocket the money and spend even less on a beach bag, I suggest this Land’s End See Through Polka Dotted Tote:
And before you even ask, yes, people in New York City do occasionally order from Land’s End, this beach bag being a primary example. It’s large enough to tote all your beach essentials, and won’t break the bank at just $39.50. Available in Aqua, Pink and Navy through LandsEnd.com.
And for the inner efficiency experts in all of us, consider this Maison Martin Convertible Terry Beach Bag:

Genius! The bag is made of terry cloth. It zips on either side and the compartment created is spacious enough for all your beach accoutrement. Once at the beach, you simply empty the bag, unsnap, unzip and voilĂ ! Instant beach towel! It’s marked down to $139 on eLuxury. A bargain, considering the built-in conversation starter with the impressed hottie next to you.
