What's In My Bag? | All The It-Girl Essentials for Summer
Hey Babes!
Welcome back to the blog — I hope you’re doing amazing! Summer is basically here, and while everyone is going outside, the it-girls are doing it in style. That’s why I’m sharing everything you need to stay cute, cool, and collected all season long. Whether you're beachside, poolside, or next to that guy you met at a party (or under… or over… or on top of 👀), these are your summer essentials.
And bonus — I’m also spilling what’s in my bag this summer. Think of this as your two-for-one hot girl checklist.
1. Deodorant
If you’re going to be out and about, staying fresh is a must. I always carry a mini deodorant in my bag. My fave? The coconut and vanilla scent by Native — it smells like a tropical dream and keeps me feeling clean.
2. Sunscreen
I don't care if you're inside all summer, or if it's raining, sunscreen is non-negotiable. I keep two in rotation:
-
La Roche-Posay for on-the-go protection
-
Bali Body for long, luxurious beach or pool days
Heads up — Bali Body takes a little longer to absorb, but she leaves you glowing.
3. Water / Hydrating Beverage
Stay hydrated, babe. Water is the best option, but I also love coconut water or iced tea when I’m feeling a little ✨extra✨. I usually carry a bottle from home or grab one while I’m out.
4. Body Spray
Let’s be real — your fragrance might fade in that summer heat. A light, fresh body spray is a must. I love:
-
Cloud by Ariana Grande
-
SOL de Janeiro 48
-
Gingham Gorgeous by Bath & Body Works
Pro tip: layer it with your perfume for longer wear.
5. Lotion
It-girls do not leave the house with ashy knees! Whether you’re reapplying after sun or just keeping your hands soft, lotion is a necessity. Even hand lotion counts. My pick? Anything by Santa Maria Novella — elegant and effective.
6. Sunglasses
Protect your eyes and serve a look. I recently snagged a pair from Miu Miu and I’m obsessed. Functional and fabulous.
7. Feminine Wipes / Baby Wipes
Freshen up on the go, especially in the heat. I swear by Vagisil, Honest, and Johnson’s wipes — they’re gentle and alcohol-free.
8. Cute Bikini or Outfit
You’ve gotta look good to feel good. Go for breathable, comfy, and cute fabrics. Bikinis, tankinis, sundresses, rompers, the list goes on. Even a simple shirt and shorts will do. Look for some summer outfits inspo on Pinterest.
9. Tote Bag
Because where else are you putting all this? A cute tote is versatile, roomy, and easy to style. Bonus points if it matches your outfit.
Honorable Mentions:
-
A book, card game, or something fun for downtime
-
Pepper spray (because safety is sexy)
-
A light snack — never get caught hangry
That’s everything, babes! Let me know if I missed anything or what’s in your summer bag. Drop a comment below or come chat with me over on Instagram.
Happy summer,
