I have always loved to be at the beach!  There is something magical about the sunlight sparkling on the water and the breezes blowing through my hair.  The beach means bare feet, sun kissed skin, lazy days, salt in the air and a relaxed joyfulness.  Everything slows down at the beach and rhythm of the days is natural and easy!

My beach bag packed and ready to go!  The beach blanket by Vera Bradley is large enough to spread out on the sand for an afternoon nap or even a picnic!

The road to the beach.  I have always loved how the trees create a canopy over the road.

Rebecca and I tried a little yoga on the beach!  Tree pose is much harder to hold on the sand!

These pictures were taken in the late afternoon when the sun was a little lower in the sky and the breeze was cooler!  This dress from Island Passage on Bald Head Island is perfect for an afternoon stroll on the beach and a casual dinner!
