Summer Bag Essentials.


Hey everyone! I don't know about you, but this summer has been a whirlwind for me already! I graduated from college/university in May, took a trip to Florida (I live in Michigan) in May for my best friends bridal shower and bachelorette party, took a trip to Florida in June for my best friends wedding, and on top of all of that I have been job hunting! Since I have been doing a bit of traveling this summer, there have been things that have become staples in my bag everyday. Here they are!

1. Fiji water, or just any bottle of water to keep me hydrated on hot days. I prefer this bottle because it is a bit more sturdy than other bottles and it is less likely to get punctured by my keys or other sharp objects in my bag.

2. YSL Rouge Volupté Shine in #16 Orange Impertinent. I love this lipstick because it is the perfect orange shade for summer, and I wear it both in the day and night. Buy it here.

3. Tangle Teezer Compact Styler. Mine is actually an off-brand Tangle Teezer as I got it from TJ Maxx, but it works just the same. I love regular sized one but it wasn't convenient to keep in my bag, so I bought this mini one. Buy it here.

4. Rosebud Perfume Co. Minted Rose Lip Balm. I like the original Rosebud Salve, and I actually went to buy that, but I saw this one and decided to give it a try. I like the mint one because it gives you that little tingle of mint when you put it on. Buy it here.

5. Frends Taylor Headphones. I purchased these because I needed new headphones, and honestly I just liked the way they looked. You can get them here on sale at Nordstrom during their Anniversary Sale.

6. Michael Kors Silver Color Stainless Steel Blair Glitz Watch. I got this watch for Christmas last year, and I love it so much. I wanted a nicer watch since all I've ever had were cheap ones from Target, and it is handy so I don't always have to dig around my bag for my phone. Buy it here.

7. Black iPhone 4s. Just your typical cellphone, nothing special about it. I'm trying to hold out until September because I heard that the iPhone 6 is coming out!

8. New York & Company Sunglasses. I bought these sunglasses on sale for about $7 and I'm glad I did, because I left my Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses somewhere in Florida. Unfortunately they're not for sale anymore.

See ya next time!
