If you're lucky enough to live within driving distance of a beach (or a lake... or even a pool or sprinkler system, for that matter), chances are you're water-bound or bust whenever the temperatures creep up past a comfortable level. But even the most impromptu of beach trips aren't as breezy as your spontaneous "plans" aim to be -- before you hop into the back of your friend's coast-bound convertible, you have to dash back to your room for your wallet, your sunscreen, your sunglasses, your towel... not to mention a cute beachy bag to throw it in all into! We may not know where you misplaced your swimsuit, but we can help you pick out a posh and practical tote to lug all your pool-lounging loot in once you find it all! Whether your taste is expensive or bargain-hunting, you're bound to grow attached to at least one of these beachy bags that'll keep your stuff dry and organized, no matter how wet and wild the summer adventure (as if you really need another reason to go bag shopping)! Check the slideshow for my 8 beach-friendly favorites!

Hot In The Hive: Ceci Est Un IT BAG from Longchamps

Ida Hsiang on июн 1, 2009 6:18 AM PDT

I think as "fashionistas", we would all love to keep up on the latest "It" bag, dress like the latest "It" girls and always wine and dine at the latest "It" restaurants and lounges. With technology and society going as fast as it is, however, the latest "It" is always changing too. So, unless you are Paris Hilton or have the time and money like she does, you probably aren't snatching up every $700+ bag that fashion gurus say you "must have"! There is a simple, chic and way more affordable way to have an "It" bag resting on your shoulder at all times. Longchamp is introducing their "It" bag, a durable, practical and super-chic tote that you know it an "It" bag because.... well, it says so! A picture of a stylish bag shape is printed onto the tote with the words "Ceci Est Un IT BAG" scrawled across. "Ceci Est Un IT BAG" translates into English as "This is an IT BAG!". These "IT BAG"s come in varying sizes available in a white/ black or orange/black color combination. All the bags are trimmed in cowhide leather and start at $160 and go no higher than $500 for even the largest one! Check out Longchamp and get yourself the gift of the everlasting "It" bag now!

Price: $160 - $500
Who Found It: idabone was first to add the Longchamp "Ceci Est Un IT BAG" to the Hive.

Alex Gambardella on май 25, 2009 12:22 PM PDT

Even though you always feel lucky when the sun's shining and the sky is nearly cloudless, the beautiful sunny weather you're enjoying is no coincidence! The stars have aligned in favor of keeping the sun out of hiding and for you to savor a day outdoors, and the least you could do to show your gratitude is to listen to the stars' stellar advice! Whether you're long overdue for a serious break or just can't resist squeezing in a perfect-weather beach day no matter how packed your schedule is, it's vital to lounge in style. Tauruses can cover up with a Marc Jacobs bandeau dress that's so cute, you might not even want to reveal your suit! On the other hand, Capricorns can fully enjoy the gorgeous weather and scenery with a retro-chic Juicy Couture floppy hat that'll help keep the blazing sun out of your face and eyes. Before you head out to enjoy that beach volleyball court or blow-up floating lounge chair, check the slideshow to see what kind of beachy goodies your sign should be toting along!
