Weekend Packing

When everything fits in your handbag it's a good day and this particular one is perfect for the long weekend. A few favorites to stash inside include this jacket I picked up in CottonOn, a trusty Baggu shopping bag, BassBuds headphones and a new makeup bag by Vera Bradley (more on that soon & the goodies inside) which I'm loving. Now all I need is a really good gift.

Wishing everyone a great long weekend here in the US and, for everyone, some weather that feels warm and summery!
