Finallyyyy, it's officially summer (although let's be real, the south has been in summer mode for the past two months) and that means it's finally vacation season! Whether you're jetting off to a fabulous tropical location or just chilling by your community pool, there are a few things you must have with you while soaking up the rays. We've put together a guide to the necessities a Modern Magnolia should always have in her beach bag to have the best summertime lounge-sesh possible.

Cute/functional bag- to hold all your goodies

Sunscreen- it's so important to protect your skin from the harms of UV rays

Sunnies- simultaneously protect your eyes & look fab

Hat- to shield your hair from the wind & keep your face from getting sunburnt

Magazine- pool/beach time is the perfect opportunity to catch up on your favorite mags

Wireless iPhone speaker- laying out is so much better with good music 

Protective lip balm- slather this on to avoid painful sunburnt lips

Rubber flip flops- a comfy, cute, & practical option to save your feet from hot sand/pavement

Water bottle- fill up one of these to avoid dehydration & keep cool 

Beach towel- no explanation necessary
