Update: What's in My Bag

I thought it'd be fun to do an update on What's in My Bag since a lot has change since my first post showing the contents of my purse. I've downsized my bag to my Marc by Marc Jacobs Classic Q Hillier Hobo, and I've been making an effort to carry around less stuff (it also helps that my daughter now carries her things in her own backpack).

Clockwise from left:

• Prada sunglasses
• Chanel Vitalumiere Eclat compact powder
• iPhone in a Rilakkuma case
• Naris Up lip gloss
• Joe Fresh Mango lip tint (c/o)
• Kiehl's Cranberry scented lip balm #1
• Crabtree & Evelyn La Source age defying hand cream
• Banana Republic wallet/clutch (old)

Here's a closer look at everything:

And since it's summer and I lay on the beach quite a bit, I'm considering doing a What's in My Beach Bag post if you're all interested. Let me know in the comments!

Pocketful of Sunshine

{ Dress: Xhilaration (via Target) // Sandals: H&M // Bag: Zara (seen here & here) // Sunglasses: House of Harlow "Chelsea" // Watch: Michael Kors // Jewelry: Spike the Punch "Rainey" necklace; H&M bracelets; Cameo ring from Greece }

I absolutely love a dress with pockets. I was already sold on the cute stripes and colours on this dress but the moment I discovered the pockets, it was a done deal. I don't know what it is but pockets make it that much more appealing to me. Are there any garment details that you're particularly fond of? Share them with me!

Leo

{ Blouse: Joe Fresh (with DIY shoulder cut-outs) // Shorts: H&M Kids (similar here and here) // Sandals: Zara // Bag: Chloe // Sunglasses: Karen Walker "Number One" // Necklace: vintage }

{ Photographed by Eleanor Chow }

I admit that I occasionally shop in the kids department (as seen here) because of the lower price point. If the style isn't too junior and it fits, I'm all over it! I mean, how cute are these leopard-print shorts?! And they were only $12.95. You can't go wrong with a little leo, and for me that goes for fashion and in life because my hubby is a Leo and today is his birthday! Happy happy birthday to the love of my life! xox

Let's ignore for a second that Alicia Silverstone's preference to mouth-feed her child like a bird is...different, and you'll see a rather cute outfit of the mother and son. A classic black shirt dress and flip flops are ideal for cool summer evenings, while little onesies are always an adorable pick.
