What's In My Bag?
Friday, February 6, 2015
P.S. The coloring is a little off, the sun was being a pain! It is more like the pictures below.
P.P.S. Unfortunately, I looked online & this bag is no longer available :(
From left to right:
Lint roller from Forever 21, iPhone 5S, Tory Burch Robinson Zip Continental Wallet in Ocelot Leopard, Seven 4 All Mankind sunglasses, Trident Layers Candy Cane gum, Palmer's Cocoa Butter lip balm, L'Oreal Color Riche Lipstick in 370 Jennifer's Nude , Cadbury Caramello chocolate bar, Eccolo notebook, Apple headphones, Susan Branch pen
As you all probably know, women have a tendency to keep their whole lives in their handbags. I have been very guilty of this in the past. Yet, because of this bag's larger size, I've tried to keep it pretty simple & neat. If you're not careful, bags like this can easily become bottomless pits!
I'm only going to talk about a few of the items listed above, here are just a few of my essentials that make it from bag to bag!
To start off with my #1 essential (& my favorite) a wallet; this one is a Tory Burch wallet that I got for my birthday last year. I love anything Tory, but this is truly the best wallet ever. Even if you are just running errands, it is great to take on it's own. This wallet holds so much & can even fit my case-less iPhone in it, plus the pattern is so fun! Sunglasses are a must, especially if you're having a no makeup day! I found these adorable Seven 4 All Mankind sunglasses, that fit my pea-size head perfectly, at Marshall's for super cheap. Next essential on the list, chocolate! Chocolate is a great snack to have in your bag, and is a must have if you get hangry (hungry + angry) like me, any snack will do though. Clearly, I like to be healthy ;) Also, I always have gum because who likes bad breath? No one. And last but not least, lip balm. I have it on me at all times because chapped lips are just not attractive!

HOLY CHIC, I MADE A BLOG!
Monday, February 2, 2015
So I did it! After months of thinking about it, going back & forth, I finally decided to start a blog!
This is just going to be a fun side project, since I am taking the semester off from school. I hope that with this blog, I can share what I know (or what I think I know) about fashion and beauty. I am the type of person that gives my honest opinion about pretty much anything and everything! Therefore, you will always be getting the truth from me; whether it is the current fashion trends I love to what beauty products suck! I cannot wait to start this blogging adventure. Let's begin with some fun facts, that way you can get to know me!
