4 Bags You Need for Spring & Summer featuring Saltwater Prep

April 19, 2019 · In: Lifestyle, Spring & Summer

Hey y’all! I wanted to thank Saltwater Prep for providing their Monogrammed Striped Cabana Bag for today’s post! Their website offers a ton of fun monogrammed goodies for super affordable prices. Make sure you check out their site and follow them on their Instagram, @SaltwaterPrep.

Today I wanted to share with y’all my favorite bags that I am carrying right now! These bags are perfect for transitioning from spring to summer and they’re useful for a variety of looks. I hope you enjoy!

Monogrammed Striped Cabana Bag from Saltwater Prep

This bag is so great to not only use as a day-to-day purse, but also for trips to the beach, an airplane carry-on, or even a cute school bag that will totally fit your laptop and books. It is a STEAL at only $30, and that includes the embroidered monogram! I think my favorite part is that I got to chose my monogram font and thread color – I chose the diamond monogram in white. This would also make an adorable gift for bridesmaids, high school graduates, or just a little gift to yourself 😉

Bamboo Bags

Y’all already know I’m obsessed with a good bamboo purse! I managed to get mine for literally $12 from Francesca’s last fall on clearance, but you can find these at a variety of places in store and online. I’ll link some affordable Amazon options similar to mine HERE and HERE. Some are more affordable than others but in my opinion it’s all about the look, not the brand. So make sure you search and compare before buying something that costs $100+!

Wicker Bags

I know, I know… I can’t stop talking about wicker and bamboo bags lol. In my defense I liked them last year before it was mainstream lol. I also got this one at Francesca’s on clearance last year for literally $8. But since they are becoming more popular, they’re pretty easy to find. This one from Francesca’s is pricey, but gorgeous! Here is an Amazon option, and even Walmart is hopping on the bandwagon with this bag and this satchel.

Navy Purse from Simply Southern

I got this bag at Hallmark of all places. Simply Southern is carried at a variety of boutiques and small stores, like Hallmark. I managed to find it online for y’all, but I will say this shop is charging $44.99 and I only paid $38.99. That being said I would check with your local Hallmark or anywhere you know that sells Simply Southern. They also offered this is hot pink and Tiffany blue as well as in a crossbody, wallet, wristlet, small backpack and more! I love the navy since it will go with everything in my closet. And the size is perfect for a day-to-day bag that is bigger than a crossbody but smaller than a tote bag.

Well there you have it y’all! Those are the bags I’ve been carrying lately! I hope this gave you some inspiration and gives y’all some affordable options to stay on trend. Thanks again to Saltwater Prep for sponsoring this post and don’t forget to check them out on Instagram!

Thanks for reading!

xoxo
Jayme

Some tidbits from our trip as a NYC first-timer🚕
 
We stayed at @omniberkshirenyc - overall we enjoyed our stay! The location was perfect (right in between 5th Ave & Madison Ave) and was a short walk to Rockefeller and Central Park. Only complaint is that the rooms were very hot (75*+). They also had valet parking that we utilized. We drove into the city and while time consuming it wasn’t as stressful/difficult as we had imagined. I’d certainly drive in again.

Our highlights were @therockettes and walking through Central Park. We walked everywhere with the exception of a boat ride we did. We booked a car through RideLux for that which I do not recommend, about equal service to Uber for 2x the price. 

The boat ride with Classic Harbor Line felt like it wasn’t worth the $100/pp price tag. Seeing the Statue of Liberty up close was neat, but that was about it. Also, if you get sea sick CHL is NOT for you! 

Shopping overall was underwhelming, but we did hit the classic FAO Schwarz which regardless of the long line this time of year was a must-do! We got there 10min before opening and only waited about 10min after opening to get in. 

As for dining we did some quick spots around the city including Springbone Kitchen - perfect for a fast casual but healthy meal - we did pick up and took it to our room! Ralph’s Coffee in UES was also on my must-do list and honestly it didn’t disappoint! I’ve been to the Paris and NYC locations now and both times it’s been delicious and the perfect drinking temperature, even if you do have to wait a bit. For dinner we got a same day reservation for BG at Bergdorf’s - the food and service were great and reasonably priced imo!

I’m so happy we got to experience NYC at Christmas as it’s been on my bucket list my entire life! I love a trip filled with firsts, since they’re what make lasting memories!✨

✨48hrs in NYC✨ Somehow at 27 I had still never ✨48hrs in NYC✨
Somehow at 27 I had still never been to NYC until now🌃 I’ve always dreamed of going to NYC as a little girl, especially at Christmas! Today dreams came true with a visit to Radio City Music Hall to see @therockettes and it did not disappoint👏🏼 I’ll be sharing more tidbits from my trip over the next few days🚕

*also brownie points to whoever can tell me where this iconic townhome is from😉*

30 hours at the most festive place on earth🏰🎄

We booked this trip after my miscarriage so we could get out of town, even just for a night, and embrace ourselves in holiday magic✨ While nothing will take away the pain and heartache, distractions help the days pass faster🤍

Next week we’re off to NYC for a few days full of firsts!🚕 Defintiely nervous but excited for this bucket list trip✅

Last week I was supposed to be graduating from the Last week I was supposed to be graduating from the fertility clinic I’ve been getting treatment at since January. Instead we were told our baby girl no longer had a heartbeat. Thanksgiving is supposed to be a time to be thankful, and this year that is extremely difficult. 

For the rest of our lives we will question why this happened to us. We’ll wonder who she would’ve looked more like? What color would her eyes have been? Would she have loved the things we loved? I will yearn for you forever, baby girl. A piece of our hearts will always be with you, our first baby, now in heaven.

I’m sharing this not for pity or for attention, in fact I’ve felt very embarrassed to share. But I noticed after sharing my IVF journey a few months ago it opened a door for conversation. Conversations with people who have been through it, are going through it, or are curious about the process. These conversations are so important to break the stigma of fertility treatment regardless of your age or diagnosis. While I don’t share every detail of my journey, I’m choosing to share this to show it’s not always a straight and narrow path. 

So if you’re reading this and resonate, my heart is with you. You are not alone. You did nothing wrong. If you’re reading this and know someone going through it - I urge you to reach out. Whether it’s to tell them you’re thinking of them, or whether you’re offering a helping hand. This experience is isolating, scary, and confusing. I promise you that if someone has shared their journey with you and you decide to stay silent, it hurts.
