1. My incredible sequined ikat pouch is the icing on the cake to this ensemble. It's shiny shell makes it a party every time I pull something out of my simple-yet classic-bag. It was a gift from my gorgeous and generous sister and I cherish it in all its sparkling glory. I use it to house all the loose items kept inside to avoid them all spilling out against my will every time I want to re-apply my lipgloss.
2. This gem is a recent addition to my wardrobe. It is the absolute perfect size for my ID and cards and with the fabulous oversized rose gold pyramid studs, it's functional and fabulous: the ideal keychain. Plus, the inside is leopard. And after all, it's what's on the inside that counts, right? Tré fab.
3. If you're truly having fun and letting loose, you may notice an extra (unwanted) shine clashing with your already gaudy gold accessories. This shine appears on your face-and I'm not referring to your super-glossy lip shimmer. These shine-eraser sheets by ELF are the ultimate life-savers when you want to eliminate that extra glare. Plus, they're only a dollar. Cheap and chic!
4. Speaking of super-glossy lip shimmer, this bright coral tube by Revlon is the perfect shade for all occasions. It's subtle enough to go with any colors in your apparel, yet is enough of a statement to show off my luscious lips. The shade is (appropriately) titled "coral reef."
5. Inevitably, due to some outrageously awesome dance moves, my perfume may--ahem--wear off after a while. Have no fear. I simply swipe on this delicious earl grey-scented roll-on fragrance from Anthropologie and I'm in the clear. Party on!
6. Stay chic and refined with this stunning grey & gold Marc Jacobs side bag. What a classic! It appears to be petite and minimalistic-but don't be fooled, it's merely an illusion. I look like a modern day Mary Poppins as I magically fit everything I could ever want/need right inside.
7. Most of the time I'll curl my hair in hope to avoid any frizziness. From time to time, however, I'll take the straightening iron out and do a sleeker look instead. The only catch-one tidbit of humidity hits it and I'm resembling the "before" girl in those ever-so-dramatic hair commercials. Not a good look. It's always in my best interest to keep a stylish hair tie with me. This one looks intentionally dressy due to its silver sparkly thread. These elastics are also made to leave a crease-free effect on your hair. Genius.
8. Whisk your date away with the Wisp. This pint-sized toothbrush is complete with flavored toothpaste (choose from cinnamon, spearmint, or peppermint), hard-working bristles, and makeshift floss all in one. Stash it away in your clutch and you'll be minty fresh at any given moment.
The next time you're out and about, pack up these necessities and you'll be the most glamourous girl at all times, hands down. Your friends will be begging to know your secret--whether or not you wish to share, now that's up to you.
Ciau,
K.René
