Floral Print Beach Bags

The SilverHooks beach bags are big, roomy and functional. Their fashionable floral and polka dot patterns make the bag great for the beach, but also for everyday use. This bag can double as a diaper bag, overnight bag, carry-on, gym bag or even a purse. It will fit all of your necessities with room to spare.

The nylon strap is wide and thick for carrying in comfort and the outside pouch is perfect for wet swimsuits, sunscreen, makeup and other items you want to store separately. The inside of this bag is almost like vinyl which is perfect for wiping clean or air drying once those wet towels are pulled out.

There are many beach bags out there, so why choose the SilverHooks bag? First, the price point is an easy $14.99, which is way worth it considering the size and excellent quality. Second, the shipping is a low $3.99 for the first item and the processing and delivery time is incredibly fast so you’ll be using your bag in no time! Lastly, the bag is hip and trendy and does not scream BEACH. There are no flip flops on the outside that limit the bag’s use. The polka dot and floral patterns are perfect for summer, but they are functional year round as well.

So go ahead and celebrate summer and treat yourself to a new beach bag today!

For example, I pick up a new beach tote every year. Last year’s bag is stained yellow, the copious amounts of sunscreen that have been accidentally applied to its inner and outer layers has in fact not protected the bag from the rays, although the label promised lush, wrinkle free fun in the fun.

When it comes to beach bags I like fun colors or prints and lots of room inside with a decent shoulder strap so I can carry all my stuff while still clutching an icy cold beverage glass in one hand while I gently stir the straw around the refreshing elixir with the other.

A summer day out of the house and having fun in the sun often means not being home for lunch. I love hanging out by the pool or on the deck with friends, but having to spend extra money for fast food or having to clean up to go into a sit-down style restaurant takes away from my pool time. I always pack a nice little lunch, simple, easy to keep cool and I know it will hit the spot.

I have tried lots of different types of lunch carriers. The Cooler: These keep things cold alright, but they are all so big and bulky….even the littlest ones I’ve seen are still too big and bulky for easy carry. The Brown Bags, (then subsequently and unpleasantly, my purse.) can’t keep up with the cool and condensation that comes with summer lunch. I treat myself to a new lunch tote every year as well. Lunch poolside or at a picnic or even at the office can be a nice break in the day and a stylish lunch toe can really be a nice pick me up.

No one wants to appear vain, but there are very few times -when after we spend all that time getting ready to go on a summer outing -that our carefully procured look is not under attack as soon as we step out of the house. The sun is working hard to melt the colors from our faces and wind teases at our carefully placed locks. The best defense against gasping at your reflection in a store window several hours later, is a personal compact cosmetic mirror. Keep it in your tote and it will always be packed, along with your sunscreen and a back up lip balm. A compact mirror is perfect because it is made to travel, it closes easily so it is protected from the elements and breakage. They come in so many very cool and fun designs, finding one to match my tote is almost as much fun as using it pool side while my friends ooh and ahh over it.

Last year, my best friend got a great last minute deal on a summer trip out of the country and she was whisked away with almost no notice. She had an absolutely fantastic time but she did not have a plan in place to take care of her passport.

She has sun screen to protect her skin, a huge floppy hat to protect her salon blonde and some of the cutest and supportive walking shoes I have ever seen-but came home with a very damaged passport. She had to go through all the work of having to replace it and all she would have had to do was pick up a passport cover before she left. I recently found out that you don’t have to settle for the same ‘ole same ‘ole when it comes to passport covers either. They come in so many colors and styles; Zebra print and Giraffe, hot pink and the basic black croc styles as well. They secure the passport, have pockets and pouches for other travel documents and they look great.

Something I will be doing differently this summer, is that I picked out a new purse hook to use exclusively with my beach tote. Last summer, I would take my purse hook from my ‘everyday’ purse and throw it into the beach tote. It was essential to keep my bag out of the puddles by the pool, off the flip flop tracks, sand and other summer obstacles. Well, I would often leave it in the beach tote and then I would not have it when I needed to hang my ‘everyday’ purse in the bathroom at the gym. So this year I found a fun and “Summer Perfect” purse hook to keep in my beach tote. I never have to make the switch or make sure it’s packed. It was just hard not to go crazy, the hooks come in so many great styles and colors-it was hard to buy just one…but I also found one to match my lunch tote…and one of the bracelet style hooks for my back up ‘everyday’ purse too.

So there you have it. I am all set with my top 5 essential accessories for summer. I made sure to get my favorite styles. Pick out your own at Silverhooks.com!

Black Crystal Glasses Clip

I found this great little magnet backed Glasses Brooch that I hang right on my collar or blouse and it holds my glasses when they are not in use. I just tuck the glasses into the holster when I take them off and I know where they are when I need them. It is very effective and I prefer the cute little crystal brooch over a burdensome string around my neck.

The Glasses Clips come in so many styles that it is easy to find one that fits your personality. Solid crystals are the basic style that is available in black and white. Other crystal designs include heart, star and flower. The best part about this clever product is that it really works! The clip is basically two pieces that are connected with a small metal chain. Both pieces have durable magnets that have a strong hold through clothing. The glasses can be holstered in the secured chain loop by the arm of your glasses.

Back of Glasses Clip

You’ll have easy access to your glasses and sunglasses whenever you need them. You won’t have to dig through your bag or deal with the damage that can happen to glasses when not protected.

The Glasses Clip is a solution to one of life’s small problems. It will help you focus on what you’re doing rather than where you left your glasses.

Clear Crystal Glasses Clip

I grew up in a part of the country with wise, hardworking women who knew a thing or two about telling a good proverb or finding the right metaphor for the situation. Old wives tales and superstitions were whispered over coffee along with the daily gossip and as children we really did avoid stepping on the sidewalk cracks as we rushed to where ever we had to go to ensure our mother’s safety.

This is when I was first introduced to the story about the lady bugs. I don’t know how old I was when I first heard it, how many times I heard it for that matter for how many different situations it was applied too… but it stuck with me so I will share it.

When I was young I used to love hunting for lady bugs in the meadows near my home. I would run through the tall grass, searching the grass tops and down below near the earth. I would turn over rocks and lean in so close to the tree bark that the smell of the moss made a home in my nose. It would feel like hours of searching and searching. Then exhausted, I would fall into that same tall grass and drift off and take a nap in the sun. When I woke up, slowly sitting up and looking around to remind myself where I was, I would notice something on the hem of my dress, then also on the back of my hand. Quickly realizing the Lady bugs had found me. The tops of the grass all around, my shoestrings, and the palm of my hands.
The moral of this story is that sometimes when we put so much effort into the hunt, what we are hunting can be elusive. But if we just relax and enjoy ourselves, the thing we are hunting for, will come to us.

Sometimes what we are hunting is a boyfriend or a husband. Sometimes it is a promotion at work or a better job. Sometimes it is the goal to start a family or many other things to which we aspire to. I try to keep the symbol of the Lady Bug in my life to remind myself to slow down, to relax, to be patient and what I am hunting will come to me. In subtle ways, push pins, sticky notes and even my purse hook.

I use my purse hook daily and the decorative Lady Bug serves as a constant reminder to me. It is designed with a crystal center and sparkly crystal embellishments. It is very pretty and functional and I get compliments all the time.

The Key Chain USB is also available in a clear crystal Lady Bug that is both fashionable and functional. Whenever someone comments on my key chain or purse hook, I use the moment as an opportunity to share the story and wisdom that has stuck with me for all these years. Everyone can benefit from taking a step back occasionally and the lady bug is a great way to remind yourself to take a nap in your own “tall grass”.

The new USB key chains are SO Fun, Functional and Fantastic…they needed to have their own blog entry. Check ‘em out…they are blinged out with crystals AND a built in 4GB jump drive! The memory sticks are compatible with High-Speed USB and works with just about any computer. These are perfect for quickly accessing your documents, transporting them and accessing them from another computer. This product is just perfect for women of all ages, Students, teachers, moms, business women will all benefit from this functional accessory.

I know that I have bought at least 5 jump drives in the last year and now that I think about it….I don’t know where any of them are right now. I think I last saw one in the closet, way to the back, by that pair of boots covered in dust that I never wear anymore because they hurt my feet…but that was months ago. Having the jump drive attached to a keychain is so much more convenient than always having to track it down. It’s connected to your keys and I always know where my keys are.

Silverhooks currently carries two styles of this unique USB. The Lady Bug USB Keychain is a silver, glass and clear crystal encrusted Lady Bug. This is no wimpy key chain either. It has a firm, form poured base that includes an impressively thick loop enclosure that supports the equally impressive key ring. I have bought and subsequently lost so many key chains in the past, due to that ridiculous paradox that if something is pretty it can’t be durable. This key chain would not fit into that category. The drive component slide locks into the base, under the lady bug while not in use and glides out easily with the push of your thumb, also locking into place so it connects securely with the computer.

The other is a Crystal Heart USB Key Clip that is very impressive and equally substantial Silver Crystal Heart. One half the heart is the cap for the jump drive. That half is encrusted in clear crystals and is held in place with a built in magnetic clasp so when it is not in use as a jump drive it is held firmly in place. This heart has a 3 link silver chain that with a lobster claw at the end enabling it to be attached to most anything; your purse, work bag or your cell phone.

Honey, Have you seen your purse lately?

5) Prevent Surprise Dog Invasion
A dog’s keen sense of smell and natural curiosity creates an irresistible tractor beam for your pet, when your purse is resting on the floor or perched on the couch. Having your purse hanging on a purse hook and off the floor will save your purse and your accessories, give you confidence that when you need a stick of gum it will still be there and prevent the bits and pieces trail left by your little shred machine.

4) Protect Your Good Fortune
Many cultures believe that to put your purse on the floor is inviting bad luck and the certain loss of your money into your life. Neither are outcomes any of us want to risk- superstition or not. If using a fun and flirty purse hook to keep your bag off the floor can keep bad luck from crawling into our bags and lives why not? I’m just glad there are so many styles to pick from.

3) Your Louis Vuitton Bag Should Last Forever.
When a woman hunts for the perfect purse and then agrees to spend her hard earned money on a designer bag, she will treat that handbag like her child. Constantly wiping away the grit and grime it encounters during the day and wrapping it in a dust cloth at night….so to then plunk it down on the ground, under the table at lunch just doesn’t make sense! Keep it cleaner, keep it safer and it will last longer and for the $$’s spent on it- it should!

2) The Back of Your Chair is Someone Else’s Pathway.
When you don’t want to put your purse on the table or on the floor, the back of the chair seems like a logical place for it. But think about that….your purse is behind your back and definitely out of sight. Although it is the back of your chair, that area is a pathway for anyone else around you allowing for easy access for pick pockets or purse snatchers. Often when your purse goes missing from the back of the chair-not even Paul Blart, Mall Cop, can offer you any assurances that your bag will be returned. Having your purse hanging on a purse hook, table side where you can see it and it is safe- is definitely the way to go!

1) Do You Really Want To Know What Is On The Bottom Of Your Handbag?
The bottom of a woman’s hand bag is considered to be one of the TOP 5 most unsanitary places. It touches the surfaces of our lives that we avoid touching ourselves. Sure, no one would ever lick the bottom of their hand bags, but think about it; you put your handbag down on a bathroom floor, on the floor of a restaurant, and then on your kitchen counter! All of those outside germs are now swimming in your kitchen! I know you have seen CSI…..gross- please don’t use that black-light on my bag…..I don’t want to know. I’ll just use my purse hanger from now on!

There are so many other reasons to use a purse hook that did not make it into the top 5, but they are still worth mentioning…so in a tie for Honorable Mention here it goes; to look cool, accessories are fun, another topic of conversation on that awkward 1st date, a topic of conversation on that awkward last date, to impress the ladies who lunch, because you are smart and want to show it, ‘She’ doesn’t have one yet, It’s fun, show off your hand bag and the ease of access to the contents of your bag.

Now start shopping to make sure that all of the ladies purses in your life are clean, safe and fashionable!
