There are always a few key components when it comes to what’s in my handbag. I tend to run around a lot on a daily basis and always need to make sure I’m carrying my essentials. Today I’m opening up my handbag and revealing what’s inside.
First things first. Let’s start with the handbag itself. Lately I’ve been loving this tote by GiGi New York. What better way to express yourself then with a pop of color. It goes great with neutrals and has gotten quite the compliments lately.
As I mentioned a few weeks ago in this post, it’s important to keep those lips hydrated. Reaching into my favorite bag to dig through a jumbled mess is never fun. Thankfully, GiGi New York and Vaseline have teamed up to cater to my everyday needs with this adorable monogrammed leather pouch. My monogrammed Vaseline Lip Tin fits in perfectly and this has instantly become one of my new favorite beauty must haves. My Vaseline Lip Tin + Monogrammed GiGi New York pouch not only hydrates my lips, but is always there for me when I’m on the go.
Some other handbag must-haves include: A wallet, some sunglasses, a notebook {for those spur of the moment ideas}, business cards + a cute card case of course, and my iPhone {black marble case found here and originally from this post}.
I paired today’s show-stopping handbag with a printed caftan from Suki + Solaine {from their spring collection}, some OTK Boots {similar styles here, here + here}, and a reversible poncho from Venus {on sale for $30!}.
Love what you see? Make sure to snag your own customized Vaseline Lip Tin + GiGi New York Monogrammed Lip Tin holder for yourselves. With every GiGi New York purchase of $100+ you will receive a FREE customized Vaseline Lip Therapy Tin. Also, if you purchase the leather holder separately, you will receive the item monogrammed at no charge, along with a FREE customized Vaseline Lip Therapy Tin. This promotion is going on until March 19th and you can find all the details here.
