What do you use as a beach bag and other terribly important questions........

So - what DO you use as a beach bag?

And - now I've managed to buy a couple of bikinis (thatks for all of your help on the other thread) what can I wear with/over them for walking down to the beach/going for a drink or lunch?

And - is there a product that I can put on in the morning to stop my hair going all dary and frizzy whilst on the beach?

Thank you!

Greece isn't urban smart but that doesn't mean people don't have a dress code.

I would just get a cotton beach hat in a bright colour (cerise?) that you can roll up in a ball/let fade without worrying.

Also - bear in mind that lots of make-up - even any make-up - is a complete no-no in Greece in the evening - it just looks all wrong - so you need some strong accessories in order to look "dressed".

Thanks. Hardly wear any make-up on holiday, so that's okay!

The problem with hats is I have a small head AND glasses, so can easily look totally swamped and rather mad old lady-ish.

So - a strong necklace for evening?

Have you got prescription sunglasses? If not, get some fab huge glam ones!

Yes to strong necklace for evening - over a vest top, linen shirt or similar.

Haven't got sunnies yet - was just going to get my old Red or Dead glasses tinted. Can't do huge and glam as my face is mouse-sized.
