What's In My School Bag

Hello my loves! I've really enjoyed doing the "What's In My Bag" series (hopefully you all enjoy it as well). With school right around the corner, what better time to do a "What's In My School Bag" post! Here is what you will be able to find in my backpack this upcoming semester:

1. The North Face Borealis Backpack: After semesters of using my Longchamp as my school bag, I decided it was finally time for a real backpack. While pricey, I know this backpack is going to last a very long time.

2. Lilly Pulitzer Highlighter/Pens: Take a look through a notebook of mine & you'll quickly learn that I'm a highlighting freak when it comes to notes. So, these cute Lilly Pulitzer pen/highlighter combo's are perfect for me! 

3. iPhone: This is obviously a given!

4. Lilly Pulitzer Tech Case: Whenever I'm not using my phone, I throw in this adorable wristlet to prevent it from scratched! 

5. Lilly Pulitzer iPhone charger: I can't leave the house without a backup charger. This is perfect for long, & boring days stuck on campus. 

6. Tory Burch Roll-On Perfume: I always feel the need to carry around a roll-on with me. You never know when you'll need to freshen up, and Tory Burch is currently one of my favorites scents! 

7. iPad: Once again, kind of a given. I prefer carrying my iPad with me over a heavy laptop. 

8. Advil: It's always smart to carry aspirin around with you. Especially if you're anything like me & constantly getting headaches. 

9. Lilly Pulitzer Calculator: Makes math a bit more bearable ;)

10. Rebecca Minkoff Wallet: You obviously can't leave the house without a wallet. I'm obsessed with my trusty RM wallet! 

11. kate spade Agenda: I've written about this in quite a few posts already! Definitely worth the switch from my usual Lilly P agendas. Sidenote: A few days after I had written this, I cracked and bought a Lilly Pulitzer agenda. I was too torn!!! Who knows what I'll end up using now... Oops. 

12. Ray-Bans: I can't go anywhere without my beloved Ray-Bans! You never know when the sun may decide to come out. 

What can we find in your school bag this upcoming year?

What's In My Bag: Ralph Lauren

Hello loves! Today is part two of my "What's In My Bag" series. I have a confession to make: when it comes to carrying purses, I prefer a small cross body over a large bag. Weird, right? A few months ago while shopping in Macy's, I came across this gorgeous Ralph Lauren bag that was on sale! So naturally, I had to have it. And I've surprisingly been using it a lot more often than I expected! Unlike most girls, I don't store my bags with everything I own. I can't stand a heavy bag, so I only carry around a few necessities. Here's what you can find  in my bag:

I jumped on the eos bandwagon earlier in the year, and I am so glad I did! This stuff works like magic, I can leave the house without it. Urban Decay's Naked Basics Palette is the perfect size to throw in your bag for when you're on the go. I almost always bring it with me! My go-to mascara is Estée Lauder Sumputous Extreme. I have a few bottles of this thanks to all of those free Lilly gifts, so I always keep one in my bag!

If you follow me on twitter (@lawfullysassy - if you don't, what are you doing with your life? Go follow me now!) you probably saw my tweet about my gorgeous new kate spade Wallet (bright spot avenue in blush) I purchased the other day. It's safe to say I'm obsessed with it. I can't go anywhere without my trusty Ray-Bans. 

Aside from my obvious iPhone, when I carry a large purse with me, I usually bring along my iPad with me (depending on where I'm going). With wifi nearly everywhere nowadays, you never know when it come in handy. And of course, I can't leave the house without my back-up Lilly Pulitzer charger.

Summer Favorites Pt 1

Summer has creeped up upon us. How it is almost mid-June already, I don't even know. Although, I feel like I'm saying the same thing every month. What better way to kick off the start of summer than sharing with y'all some of my go-to summer favorites/essentials. To keep this post short, I'll be posting some more of my summer favorites over the next few days!

1) J.Crew Chino Shorts

What's a summer wardrobe without J.Crew Chinos? Chino is basically a fancy word for cotton, so these shorts are nothing short of comfortable (hands down the most comfortable pair of shorts I have ever owned)! They come in every color imaginable, and come in a few different length sizes! If you don't have a pair of these yet, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? Check them out at jcrew.com & factory.jcrew.com!

2) Longchamp Le Pliage Tote

This one of my absolute favorite tote bags. I use this for just about everything, pool bag, beach bag, overnight/out of town bag, or just an everyday bag. It's perfect for a summer day at the pool! You can find this at most high end department stores! (Nordstrom, Saks, Neiman Marcus, etc)

3) Lilly Pulitzer You Gotta Regatta Shift

You Gotta Regatta is one of my favorite Lilly prints. The sailboats make it a perfect summer piece, even cuter when paired with white sandals or wedges! Because this is print is a few years old now, check eBay, Re-Lilly or even Rue La La for this fabulous summer piece! 

4) Steve Madden Barcley Wedges

Steve Madden is always my go-to brand for shoes, & these wedges do not disappoint. To me, they're just a little something different than your typical wedges. They look cute with just about every outfit, they're comfortable and I'm always getting compliments every time I wear them! A definite must. 

5) Ray-Ban Green Mirrored Aviators

To be honest, I used to think the mirrored Ray-Ban's were tacky. Until of course, my best friend bought a pair. They looked perfect on her, so naturally I had to steal them. I fell in love with them. My mom got me my own pair for my birthday and I haven't worn any other sunglasses since! These will definitely be a summer favorite.

More summer favorites coming for y'all soon!
