If you’re planning on heading out later in day without returning home you might want to toss a pair of jeans or long skirt into your bag. If your outing is going to extend into evening you’ll want to include a sweater for cooler evening air. If you’re worried about your evening wear getting sandy or wet at beach, then place them in a separate bag and leave them in trunk of your car. That way you are guaranteed they’ll remain fresh.

My favorite beach look is this. And what’s perfect is it keeps me looking fashion fresh throughout day and takes me right into evening. First I like a swimsuit that’s got lots of support and is bright and cheerful. I throw a fitted tank on top and throw on a loose flouncy long skirt. The long skirt serves me through evening and also works great to cover up if I’m starting to burn. I choose a lightweight material in a darker color with a pattern that accents colors in my swimsuit. Flip flops are my footwear. Depending on where I’m heading after beach I choose either a basic pair or one of my funky pair with rhinestones or crystals. Easy to walk in, feet breath, and terrific for an evening out. I keep a fitted light weight sweater in my car, and take a long sleeved cotton blouse down to beach. I usually choose a long sleeved and long length blouse because it’s versatile. I can knot it to create a short blouse, wear it long as a beach cover, and put it on if I start to burn on my upper body. I usually choose white or a soft pastel depending on my other colors. I like white because it’s cool to wear and refreshing to look at. Every year I buy a fun new beach tote that’s big enough for beach but not too big as to take it with me for an evening out. I like a fun bag that’s full of character.

Since I always feel naked without my jewelry I wear fashion jewelry to beach. That way should I loose something I won’t be out a lot of money and I won’t feel so bad. I like to keep earrings simple and elegant. I may or may not wear a necklace. Often I’ll toss a funky wood necklace in bag to add to evening outfit. I like to wear a couple of fashion rings just to add finishing touches. Now if you’re fussy about tan lines you’ll probably want to forgo rings. I toss my watch in bottom of my bag so I can put it on later.

That’s it – simple is key. Keep your beach wardrobe choices simple but fashionable. Think ahead so you can go from beach to an evening out without hassle. Remember to always make your fashion statement!

Engraving on bands has become very popular. In past one might engrave something on inside of band, but these days inscriptions are being engraved on exterior as well.

Wanting to engrave them, but don’t want them to say same old thing you always see like your wedding date, or I love you. Then come up with your original saying or inscription. Something that is important to you.

Here are a few more unusual inscriptions you might want to consider. Amor VIncit Omia [latin – love conquers all], Now & Forever, From This Moment On, Mon Coeur est a vous [French – my heart is yours],

If your looking for something funnier try – Nonrefundable, All sales final, Or I can’t return him/her I lost manual. Something simpler, try your wedding date with your initials, how about title of your wedding song, or title of your favorite song, My best friend, Love is Eternal. Symbols work nicely also.

Uniqueness is dependant on you as a couple. By this time in your relationship you know what is special to both of you, so choose a theme and go with it!
