Double Bag It!

It's no secret a girl can't live without her bag, and during the long days of summer, there's nothing more important than filling it with items that will keep you prepared in any circumstance. Need some help deciding what to carry? Here is a glimpse of what we'll be hauling around this summer...

Whether you're packing for a day at the beach or just another day in the city, stock your favorite tote, purse or handbag with a few of these summer essentials and you'll be prepared for (almost) everything!


LoDo sports a navy blue tote by Carpisa. This is the perfect bag for summer, big enough for a laptop and all of your beach essentials. Check out what's inside: 

Retro poka dot Bathing Suit by Calzedonia 

A Multi Color silk scarf can brighten any summer outfit, LoDo's fave is this vintage one. 

Black patten leather sandals by Sam Edelman: You can dress these up or down and they always look great.

The classic blue RayBans sunglasses, always timeless.

 and the best after sun lotion (hard to find on the main land) MauiBabe After Sun

While at the beach spray Fekkai Beach Waves to keep those perfect salt water curls 
and protect your lips with Chapsticks Sun Care

After hitting the beach all day, keep your tan glowing by sporting a bright lip, like MAC Sheen Supreme in Full Speed and to keep your skin clear and healthy try Neutrogena's Skin clearing Liquid Makeup, super light for those hot summer days. 

LoDo always has her Kindle for reading on the train or rooftop and is usually wearing her favorite vintage bamboo bangles.


For her bag of choice, LoGo picked this satchel from Carpisa in Italy, as the pale pink shade goes with nearly every color in her wardrobe. Her essentials include:

X-Mini Speakers (around $22): Hands down, these are the BEST portable speakers out there. Stick one of these in your bag and you can have your own soundtrack at the beach, the park, rooftop bars, etc. Don't let the small size fool you...these speakers can bump!

Audio-Technica Onto Headphones ($49.99): These little guys come in nearly every color, and the seamless headband is lightweight and won't get tangled in your hair.

Covergirl Outlast Lip Stain in Wild Berry Wink ($8.69): Finally, a touch of lipcolor that won't smear off!

Sephora Bamboo Charcoal Blotting Papers ($8): Use these to sop away sweat on those humid summer days...

Neutrogena Skin Clearing Mineral Powder ($10.63): This lightweight powder bans shiny skin, while also treating it.

Comme des Garcons Leather Pouch: Perfect for storing makeup, or toss your camera, phone and valuables in it 
to make them easier to find in your bag.

Victoria's Secret Bandeau Top ($24) & Side-Ruched Low-Rise Bottoms ($16): Because you never
know when you'll need a swimsuit!

Essie Nailpolish in Big Spender ($8): This color screams summer...

Listerine Pocket Mist (2 for $5.49): Fresh breath is just a spray away.

Kerastase After-Sun Shampoo ($36): After a day in the sun, this will help moisturize your tresses, and it's 
especially great for color-treated hair.

Napoleon Perdis 15th Anniversary Lip Set (a gift): So many fun colors to choose from, in such a compact set!
