(Un)Guilty Pleasure of the Day: Your Beach-to-Work Bag Under $60

We like to think of ourselves as low-maintenance, which is why we love a good beach bag.

We like to think of ourselves as low-maintenance, which is why we love a good beach bag. You don't want to be the girl toting five different bags from work to the weekend. Fortunately, this summery Bamboula Ltd. Market Tote ($58) does double duty — and comes in three cool colors. We love that it can hold your laptop, notepads, makeup bag, and any other odds and ends you'll pack up for the workday; but more importantly, it looks even better packed up with a good book and your sunglasses for an afternoon getaway. Want a few more options? We found the best beach bags and towels to last you a lifetime of Summers.

OmniPeace Accessories Benefit Africa

I'm always on the hunt for the next level of gift giving. Something meaningful, original. I think I may have found the final frontier. Humanitarian fashion brand OmniPeace has four new styles of bags for the stylish bag-toting world saver. You can choose between flashy sequin totes or utilitarian jute. Or, for a cheaper option, bracelets designed by Alexa Rose. As with all OmniPeace apparel and accessories, 25 percent of the proceeds go to charities promoting peace, education, human rights, and an end to extreme poverty in Africa by 2025.

Totes Too Cute to Leave at Home

Straight from the makers of those chic cushions and neat Blik wall decals, the people over at Pillow Pillow Pillow let you take your breed love on the road with organic cotton totes.

Straight from the makers of those chic cushions and neat Blik wall decals, the people over at Pillow Pillow Pillow let you take your breed love on the road with organic cotton totes. After all, you'd look pretty ridiculous carrying around a pillow. Water-based inks make up the simple silhouettes (all based on actual animals). Naturally, Otis the Boston Terrier is my favorite, but peep the other cute designs below. Happy shopping!

Did you know Fab surfs? I'm by no means pro, but I've been practicing my heart out. To further my wave riding abilities, I'm heading to a surfin' vacay in Costa Rica! I already have my bikinis, so I needed you help me put together an outfit for post-surf activities. I asked you to think casual glamour — flat sandals are a must.

I started you off with this Insight Galactic Forest Triangle Top ($35) because I can't resist the adorable manimals. Let's see the top three ensembles!


Look #1, created by bvfashion, is right up my alley — I love the studded tote!

"L" Stands For Lovely Fab Mommie

My mom's name is Lori.

Urban Outfitters at ShopStyle

My mom's name is Lori. And that's all you need to know, specifically. Generally, she is the coolest, sweetest, funnest, loveliest mommie — ever. Lori is a knitter, and therefore she's always toting around projects to her knitter friends' houses. Don't tell her, but I'm getting her this Alphabet Bag Tote ($20, originally $28) for Mother's Day; she can parade her L mommie pride all the live-long day.
