WHAT'S IN MY BAG: Summer 2015

It’s officially summer and I want to be excited so bad for potential sexy tan lines and legit reasons to indulge in ice cream, BBQ, and frozen cocktails. However, this heat? Bruh. It’s been doing the most. Currently, Memphis is under a heat advisory and I’m doing any and everything to avoid the heat. Triple digits heat indexes are not appealing at all.

Since this heat looks like this is going to be one of the hottest summers, I’ve made the conscious decision to stop carrying so much stuff in my purse. Yes, I’m one of those women that totes a bag filled to the brim with stuff that I might need, but rarely, if ever do.

So, this weekend, I finally narrowed down the things I plan/need to carry this summer. Also, I broke out my super bright and summer perfect neon yellow purse….for maybe the last time. Keep reading for more on that and to see what’s in my bag this summer.

Bag: I love my Rebecca Minkoff Hudson (smaller version in green here) in Neon Yellow, but rarely wear it.I’m going to put it on ebay and hopefully someone will fall in love with it, too.
Notebooks: I use the green one to take notes at church and pink one contains all my thoughts( business and personal). It’s pretty much a bucket for my brain’s glitter covered vomit.
Snack: I’m currently obsessed with these zuchinni carrot loaves that my sister-in-law got from her mom. They taste like bran muffins, to me. Nice alternative to sugary cakes.
Lip Balm: 100 degree weather is not really make-up friendly. However, a little smudge of this pink lip butter from Korres adds just enough color to my face and moisture to my lips.
Keys/Wallet: Finally found the perfect wallet. Rebecca Minkoff Metro Wallet has plenty of slots for cards/cash, zipper for coins, and keychain for my keys. Grab and Go lifestyle.
Sunglasses: You might remember these sunglasses from here and yes, they are still in my life. Protecting my eyes and making me feel chic. However, I do need some new black sunnies.
Powder: This transparent powder from Laura Mercier might be the only real make-up I wear this summer and that’s just to buff down really shiny spots. Yes, I’m talking to you, T-Zone.
Sunscreen: Wear sunscreen. Everyday. Sunny and cloudy days. I’ve been obsessed with Pur-lisse pur-protectDaily Moisturizer has SPF 30. Once I use it on my face, I throw it in my purse to use on my hands through out the day, too. Especially when driving.
