ellelauri Avalon, NJ  “Cooler by a Mile”

by Liz Rymar, owner of ellelauri

Avalon is a beautiful beach town that gives you that great small-town feeling when you are there. Whether you are escaping the city for the weekend or leaving the suburbs for your summer beach home you will have an amazing time in beautiful Avalon. Avalon offers so much to do in such a small beach town.

Besides laying out on a beautiful beach under the hot sun, water lovers can enjoy boating, sailing, wave runners, kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing, surfing and swimming in the ocean and back bays. Land lovers can take up a game of beach volleyball, play tennis at newly renovated courts, or visit one of the nine parks and playgrounds and of course go SHOPPING!!!! There is great shopping and nightlife in Avalon. ellelauri is the perfect one-stop-shop to pick up all you need for the beach, happy hour and a fun night out! We even offer a happy hour at our store on Saturdays where our customers can shop and enjoy a glass of wine or champagne before heading across the street to The Octopus Garden that offers a fun outdoor happy hour and before heading out to dinner (amazing sushi at the White Brier) or a fabulous dinner at the Sea Grille (all conveniently located directly across the street from ellelauri).

Stop in ellelauri to build your travel wardrobe and pick up all the necessities!  Here are some great tips on what to pack for your trip to the beach.  And if you forget anything, be sure to stop in the Avalon, NJ store!

Getting ready for a trip to the beach has never been so easy. ellelauri has you covered from head to toe!

Necessities you will need for a trip to any beach:

Beach bag, flip flops, sunglasses, sun hat, swimsuit & cover up.  

We have many options to choose from but these are some of our favorites. The Wildfox beach bag in lobster print ($123). Beside the adorable print, this is a great bag because it is easy to wash out sand, sun tan lotion spills etc. ellelauri Carly navy/white striped cover up ($88 can also be worn as a dress or tunic)  Havianas ($24) are classic casual flip flop but we also love stylish Yosi Samara leather flip flops ($48) which are a simple, yet chic and go with everything. Our favorite sun hat is the ellelauri panama straw hat in natural straw ($46).  Lastly stylish shades by Le Specs ($69) and an ellelauri bright bikini ($88) has you set and ready for the beach!

Spring Fashion trends from Liz Rymar Owner of elllauri

Spring trends for 2015 are very feminine, fun and wearable. Neutrals are back in a big way - white, blush, grey and beiges are always great for the warm months. Nautical influences are still popular - think statement stripes in navy, white and black & white. Florals were also seen all over the runways for spring, ellelauri has a lot of beautiful soft prints in our collection. Textured fabrics such as lace, (a timeless classic) and gingham pastels are also big this spring. The LWD little lace white dress is the new LBD (little black dress!) ellelauri has a beautiful white lace dress with a gold exposed zipper down the back this season and cute pastel gingham shorts and dresses in the summer collection. 

      All of this available at any of the 3 locations or online!
