Some of my favorite memories as a little girl were hanging out next to my neighbor’s pool. All the kids in the neighborhood would gather as we shared a day of splashing and sunning.  Now that I’m grown up, hanging poolside means something totally different, but requires much more—poolside accessories!

Poolside accessories are both practical yet fun for your summer days spent relaxing. Whether at a friend’s, a town pool, or a hotel there is always a way to accessorize that bathing suit of yours. Beach towels, tote bags, and hats are only a few desirable pool accessories. Thanks to fun and quirky designers, such as Kate Spade, you can find the perfect pool accessories for yourself.

Check out some of my favorite poolside accessories below and don’t forget the most important accessory of all—SUNSCREEN!
