The Perfect Travel Bag

The Perfect Travel Bag

By September 16, 2016

I’m so excited for an upcoming trip next week. I’ve been planning outfits in my head for the past week. I try to pack smart and not overpack. One thing I always bring when traveling is a great crossbody bag, it’s the perfect travel bag! Whether you are exploring the sights, finding new restaurants or exploring a new neighborhood, it’s important to have your hands free. A crossbody bag allows you to have everything you need for the day with you but it’s easier to carry around than other types of handbags. I prefer a small crossbody, that just holds the essentials: wallet, lipstick, sunglasses, phone, and gum.  

A small crossbody, in a neutral color, can go from sightseeing to dinner so it can be the only purse you need for a trip. A tan crossbody, like this one and this one, can be carried all four seasons. I love this foldover shape. You can tuck in the straps and carry it as a clutch at night.

A crossbody with a print can still be neutral too! The tan and black spotted print will go with about anything. For a basic black crossbody, I love this one and the hardware on this one adds a bit of edge.

If you need to hold more than just the basic items, this crossbody holds everything! It also has straps that allow it to be carried as a satchel, adding to it’s versatility.

Softest thing I own

Softest thing I own

By September 14, 2016
Sorry for the radio silence! I took a week off to get my crazy life in order! I have lots of great posts coming up and am back to my normal posting schedule.






I wish you could feel this dress, it is so soft! Feathery, heavenly like a cloud soft! Like so insanely soft that you wish you had a blanket made out of this fabric. It is easily the softest piece of clothing I own! The Lou & Grey clothing line is known for soft, comfortable items but they've outdone themselves with this fabric! Ok, I'm done rambling on about the feel of this dress!

A great casual t-shirt dress is something I'll turn to quite often. It so easy to throw on to run errands or go see friends or whatever! T-shirt dresses are a great way to change up a more traditional casual look of jeans and a t-shirt. You'll feel as comfortable as you wold in a t-shirt but you've stepped it up a bit. The material on this dress is not only soft but on the thicker side. The thickness helps it keep its shape and from being see thru! You don't want to have to wear a slip with something as simple as a t-shirt dress!

You definitely can dress up a t-shirt dress but in this look I kept everything as simple and minimal as possible. I wore this on a busy day when I needed to get ready quickly! I just added one of my pairs of keds, a tassel necklace and simple gold studs and I was out the door! Simple but chic!
