Bag Lady

"I'm one of those people who have everything in their purses." - Bethenny Frankel

A purse always completes an outfit, and today I'm sharing a few of my favorite purses! Most importantly, I'm dishing on what I keep in them. Over the years I've started wearing smaller purses, but during the work week, I make sure I'm carrying my essential items to get me through the day! Also, I'm travelling this weekend to Vegas, and always take a bigger bag with me when I'm catching a flight!

Check out the items below that are always in my handbag!

  1. Sunglasses. I never leave the house without a pair of shades! These are the perfect item to keep handy at all times.
  2. Hair Accessories. It is a must for me to have a hair brush or comb in my bag. Also, hair ties are a must. They are perfect for when I need to tie my hair back at the gym or on the go.
  3. Hand Cream. I always keep lotion in my purse. This helps me keep my hands smooth and moisturized when I'm out and about.
  4. Lip Balm. This is essential for me! I'm not much of a makeup girl, and don't really wear a lot of lipstick. This lip balm is a lifesaver and I use it all the time!
  5. Business Card Holder. I always carry this at networking events. I'm able to keep a few of my own business cards as well as save the ones I receive when meeting new people.
  6. Notebook & Pen. I love jotting down notes, and having a notebook and pen to retain important information is really awesome.
  7. Card Holder. I've swapped out my larger wallets, for a smaller option - a card case. I never carry cash or change, and really minimize the amount of cards I have. It's much easier, plus I get more room in my bag for other items!
  8. Facial Wipes. This is one of my favorite items, especially in the warmer months. Whenever you need a quick refresh, these items are perfect and very gentle on sensitive skin.
  9. Bluetooth Headphones. I cannot go anywhere without my headphones! I'm constantly listening to music and podcasts, these are perfect for work, gym, and my walk into the office.
  10. Toner. This refreshing rose toner is my absolute favorite. Whenever I need a quick reset, this is my go-to option.

Happy Shopping! What are some key essentials you keep in your bag?

Summer Style

"It's important to find what really suits who you are, because style isn't only what you wear, it's what you project." - Carolina Herrera

Summer is in full swing - and I'm looking forward to these warm months ahead! During this season I love wearing pops of color and wearing super stylish pieces.

Today, I am sharing my summer must-haves that are in my closet!

Strappy Sandals

When the sun is out, I love wearing sandals! They are the perfect compliment to any outfit. Whether, the shoe has a heel or is flat, they are the summer staple I look forward to wearing around town.

The Perfect Purse

I tend to wear smaller purses in the summer to carry my essentials. Also, I love getting a handbag that has a pop of color or a neat embellishment or design to pair with my outfit. Purses can totally brighten up any look!

Daring Denim

I love jeans, and any time I can pair them with a t-shirt or bodysuit I'm thrilled. I'm loving mom jeans lately, they are so comfortable and have a relaxed feel. Also, jeans that are distressed and have a casual vibe to them are my absolute fave.

Short Shorts

Finding the perfect shorts can be a little bit tricky, but when you find the right one it's perfect! Shorts are the perfect alternative to jeans and dresses. They are ideal for casual weekends, and so easy to dress up or down.

The Ultimate Bodysuit

Bodysuits, are my new favorite thing. It is super important to find the proper fit that flatters you. This is my new summer staple that I'll be rocking on the weekends. Also, they are beyond comfortable!

What are some of your favorite Summer fashion staples? Happy Summer shopping ladies!
