Going out? Need a bag that holds all your essentials without weighing you down? You need a crossbody with a hint of chic. Here are some of my favorites.

A few months ago, my husband killed two of my plants. I was out of town for several weeks, and while I was away, he apparently forgot that plants need water to live. So when I returned, my snake plant and my Calamondin tree were both dead, while his braided money tree continued to thrive. […]
It’s allegedly spring. However, for every minute of sunshine, there seems to be an hour of rain and gloom. So while I’d love to wear lighter spring pieces, it’s time to bring on the layers.
Inside the reader mail bag there are questions about summer beauty, hiring a personal shopper, navigating a sudden breakouts, and more. Let’s dig in!

And just like that, it’s April. Summer is almost upon us, and the retailers are filled with linen wares. Now, you know that I am usually unwilling to wear linen to work due to the wrinkles. But in this post-pandemic world, perhaps my mind can change.
While we’re on the topic of hands free bags, can we get a yay or nay on belt bags (okay, okay, fanny packs). It’s fall festival season and I love the idea of a bag on my hip for phone, cash, ID, etc. I’m also embarrassed to even consider it. Thoughts?
I think at a festival it could work, but I’d be weary of wearing one out and about.
Don’t be embarrassed; I’m jealous of my husband’s fanny pack. It’s so easy to use for him while I’m shleping the diaper bag around. Granted, we trade off with the diaper bag, but then I need to grab it back if I need anything (wallet, keys, etc.). Sigh. I would definitely consider a posh belt bag if I could find one that sat right on my waist/hips. Or just accept reality and just use a retro fanny pack and rock it.
There are a lot of cute small backpack options out there at the moment if you can’t fully stomach a “belt bag.”
That being said, the (faux) leather ones are kind of chic. Fast fashion places should have options! I definitely wouldn’t drop major $$ into such a questionable trend…
that chloe bag is everything. #goals
