On-the-go-Essentials: My Handbag Must-Haves

There’s something about a clean, classic look that I’ve been loving this spring — which is partially why I’m swapping a new key player off the bench this season. Meet the latest:

My two-tone trapeze tote from Zac Posen — found at 50% off on THE OUTNET - injects the monochromatic motif with a fresh new feel. His clean, classic, and his mod-like renderings lend some serious inner city style and sophistication. (Feels like a he — if you’re confused by the nomenclature, read this post.)

 

In attempt to ready myself for a busy spring and summer, here’s what you can expect to find in my bag this season:

• Stylish jams (from Frends), of course.
• Non-greasy sun protection courtesy of Nivea and Neutrogena.
• Of-the-moment mani musts, like the Muse collection from L’Oreal.
• Good hair-day essentials including bobby pins and no-tug hair ties from Sephora.
• My spontaneous happy hour arsenal: Tieks flats, blotting papers, mascara, pressed powder and a matte lip pencil.

In addition to thinking about a seasonal refresh, Starbucks asked me (via Glam.com) to sample their new ready-to-drink beverages. Truth-be-told, though I’ve been searching for an on-the-go iced coffee solve.

I have a system in place at the office where I dispense coffee into a glass and add ice once it’s cooled down. But, well, I’m impatient. As a result, these are ideal. The low-cal option is my favorite, but if I’m craving something sweet, the vanilla and caramel flavors are a quick fix. Caffeine and delicious’ness!

The new line-up of bottled Starbucks® Iced Coffee beverages gives you great-tasting, energizing refreshment with premium Starbucks® coffee from 100 percent arabica beans. Starbucks® Iced Coffee ready-to-drink beverages are perfect on-the-go refreshment to help you through the daily commute, the midday slump, or an exciting road trip adventure with friends. Best enjoyed chilled from the bottle, look for it at major grocery and convenience stores, available nationwide.
