Casual 4th of July Outfit

Hey everyone, today I’m sharing a casual 4th of July outfit with Brahmin that you can wear all summer long. I recently visited the Hamptons with my friend Krystal from A Pinch of Lovely and had the best time drinking rosé and eating lots of lobster and fries at the Gurney’s Montauk Resort. We had some beautiful weather, but I wouldn’t exactly call it swimsuit weather so I wore these cutoff shorts and white linen top on the beach with my new Mini Dartmouth Melbourne backpack from Brahmin. It fits way more than just my essentials. I was able to fit all of my must-have items like touch-up makeup, sunglasses, my wallet and phone. Plus I was able to stuff a bottle of water and a small towel to bring down to the beach. I highly recommend using the Mini Dartmouth Melbourne backpack while traveling to keep your hands free and it allows you to pack extra necessities.

Scroll through this post to see how I styled this casual 4th of July outfit that you can wear more than just on patriotic holidays.

Outfit: Mini Dartmouth Melbourne c/o Brahmin | Parker Short (I also love these budget friendly shorts too) | White Tie Front Top | Ray-Ban Sunglasses | Diane Earrings  | Leopard Print Headband | Similar Coin Necklace  | Shell Bracelet 

The Brahmin Lil Topsail bag also allows you to keep your hands free while traveling. It’s also available in this beautiful cobalt blue color too. See how I styled it here—> Convertible Bag For Summer

I love how the bright cobalt blue bag really pops with this simple outfit.

I finished the look with a leopard print headband to keep the outfit interesting. Plus I like the way it complements the bright blue.

I love how there is zipper pocket on the front of the bag for quick access to your phone or keys.

Brahmin makes beautiful, quality bags for every age. I can easily shop on their site to find a bag that suits my style as well as my younger sister, my mom and even grandmother. All of their bags are very versatile, well-made and timeless. I also love their more trendy bag styles as well like this Lane Crawford Bag. The round shape and circle handles is right on trend for this season.

As you can see in the above photo, the Lil Topsail Bag can also be worn as a crossbody bag or you can completely remove the strap to use as clutch or pouch to throw in larger tote like this Medium Bowie Mantle. The bag also includes a flap opening with magnetic snap closure, a back slide in pocket to fit your phone, an interior zip pocket, credit card slots and an adjustable strap to make it longer or shorter depending on your height and preference.

Limited Edition Genevieve Bucket Bag

Happy Friday everyone! I’m so excited to launch this special limited edition Genevieve Bucket Bag with GiGi New York today. The Genevieve style was so popular during fall and winter that we decided to bring it back in this fun limited edition red pom pom raffia style for spring. If you missed my first post about this bag, I designed the Genevieve bag last fall to bring with me to Paris. See here—> The Mini Genevieve Bucket Bag

| Shop The Genevieve Bucket Bag |

If you love the bag in this print, don’t waste any time before ordering because as I mentioned it’s a limited edition so there are only 25 bags available for purchase.  The Genevieve will also be available in multiple other colors for spring including the two newest colors available for preorder: buttercup and white

About the Genevieve: I designed the mini bucket bag because I wanted a chic and stylish bag that is also convenient, versatile and practical. The Genevieve is all of that in one. She’s the perfect size to wear as a small crossbody, but still big enough to fit all of your essentials. She is also right on trend this season with her boho silhouette and textured pom print. And not only can the Genevieve be worn multiple ways with her adjustable handles and removable crossbody strap, but she also goes with an endless array of styles and day to night outfits.

10 Fun & Affordable Spring Activities

Hey everyone, I know I’ve been mentioning this a lot lately, but I cannot get over this Spring weather! This beautiful “true spring” weather is so rare for us here in Louisiana. We usually go straight from winter to intense summer heat and completely skip the perfect in between temperatures! So I’ve been finding every excuse to work outside, dine outside and of course drink outside. I highly suggest you do the same and to help you maximize your spring, I’ve teamed up with Barrington Gifts to give you 10 Fun & Affordable Spring Activities for you to cross off your list!

1) Plan an outdoor wine tasting with your friends!

2) Have a picnic at park or even in your own backyard! Picking up Chick-Fil-A in  the drive-thru and eating it outside when you get home counts too! LOL

3) Work on landscaping your yard or plant a garden! I definitely don’t have a green thumb, but I plan to enjoy watching Blake work hard on the yard while I sit there and sip something refreshing!

4) Go for a morning walk to clear your mind or an evening stroll with someone special! Someone special doesn’t have to be your husband, it can even be your mom or neighbor! I always enjoy long “walk-talks.”

5) Dust off your cruiser and hit the town or trail on your bike! Don’t forget to pack a bag some water, snacks and extra SPF to reapply! If I’m heading to town on my cruiser, I always throw my Barrington Gifts tote in my basket so I’ll have a cute bag to walk around town with. Plus it has plenty of room in case I decide to buy something. Find my St. Anne tote last styled on the blog here—>Everyday Slip Ons for Spring 

I actually own the St. Anne Monogram Stripe tote in four different prints because Barrington Gifts comes out with brand new designs every season and I use mine so often that I just can’t help but add more to my Barrington Gifts collection each time I see a new print I like. Plus I love that you can monogram them with fun colors to make your initials really pop. I use mine on a daily basis as well as traveling. Speaking of traveling, how cute are their monogrammed passport cases and travel cosmetic kits.

6) Sit outside of a coffee shop and people watch! This is also the perfect time to try out new outdoor cafes and restaurants that you’ve been wanting to try!

7) Invite your friends over for a back porch BBQ!

8) Go strawberry picking and whip up some berry delicious desserts! Pun intended!

9) Go for a test drive in a convertible or drive around town with all the windows down blaring your favorite playlist! Me and Blake do this all the time and we just drive around looking at all of the houses that we hope to live in or build one day.

10) Do your grocery shopping at the local farmers market! This is such a great way to support small local businesses and makes grocery shopping so much more enjoyable.

Bonus! Working too much and don’t have time to cross off your spring bucket list? Throw your laptop and office essentials in your tote and head outdoors to work in the sunshine! It’s better than nothing right?
