Glam girl

 

 

The glam girl will be at her happiest when toting a neatly bejewelled beach bag, or one with some pastel hues to suit her romantical leanings. Small scale florals might also appeal, but steer clear of bold prints which will push her out of her comfort zone.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Boho babe

 

 

This season’s glut of beach bags will be perfect for the boho babe. Think pom poms, crochet or raffia details for starters. Or really knock yourself out with one of the fab Sophie Anderson cross-body beauties which will work equally well at the beach or festival.

This season’s offerings from Dolce & Gabbana are the perfect example of just the kind of bold and brash in your face style that a drama diva loves. A brightly monogrammed Rae Feather straw tote might also appeal, as well as a busily decadent pom pom adorned number from Muzungu Sisters.
