Prelude Round up

Round Up > On the Beach

How to look hot this summer— from your head to your toes.

Weave Your Way

Tote & Clutch

Throw everything into a pretty raffia carryall before you head to the beach. This one comes in three sizes, so pick and choose depending on how much clutter you like to take along. Large tote, $68, medium tote, $39.50, clutch, $19.50 www.gap.com

Funky Feet

Flip-Flops

Be sure to have the most fashionable feet around in these new styles from Brazilian brand Havaiana (Portuguese for “Hawaiian”). There’s a rainbow of colors to choose from, so it’s easy to ensure you’re matching from head to toe. We love the Brazil Cup style for guys (above), and Golden Flowers for gals (below). Men’s, $18, Women’s, $20 www.havaianasus.com

On Reflection

Sunglasses

Keep your cool in the sun with a pair of sunglasses from Bollé. These sunglasses feature high-quality performance and protection, and with shatterproof lenses and virtually indestructible Hydralon’ frames, they are ideal for goofing around at the beach. We love the Beta style (above), in red/black. Also available in smoke/black and brown/black.

From $199.99 www.bolle.com

Splash Out on Swimwear

Bikini Separates

This summer is all about standing out, and with that in mind, Gap has created a range of colorful bikini separates to mix and match to your heart’s content. Or keep it sharp and simple—it’s up to you.

From $24.50 www.gap.com

Blast Off

MicroBlast

Chilled-out tunes are the perfect accompaniment for long, leisurely days at the beach, and that’s where the MicroBlast comes in. The dock is designed specifically for the iPod nano and has a protective cover, making it ideal for seaside shenanigans. It even charges your nano as it plays. Choose from a black or white frame. $119.95 www.xtrememac.com
