Let's Getaway!

Going away this weekend? 
With 4th of July this weekend I'm sure a lot of people will be heading off to fun destinations or to visit family & friends. I will be heading off to Iowa to see a few Pi Phi sisters so I am super excited! Not to mention I will experience my first "small town" 4th of July. It shall be interesting.... 

Anyways, here are a few of my travel must haves. These are some of the things I will be taking with me on my little weekend getaway. 




  1. Cosmetic bag | I always need some type of cosmetic bag to hold all of my toilet trees. This one form Forever 21 is adorable! My friend gave me one of there makeup bags a little while back and it is actually perfect for traveling. Not to mention they are super affordable and come in a variety of prints and colors. 
  2. Foundation | Foundation is a must for me. If I don't have foundation on there is something severely wrong with me! So, it is for sure an essential if I am going away for a long weekend.  
  3. iPad | Instead of carrying around a laptop I can now just bring my iPad. I recently got an iPad so I am excited to travel with it! 
  4. Cha Cha tint | If I had to take one blush with me it would probably be my travel size Cha Cha tint. It is great because you can swipe it on and go. No brush needed! So if you are tight for space this is a great option. 
  5. Stud earrings | I don't like to bring a lot of earrings when I travel because I'm afraid I will loose them! So, I just bring one pair of neutral studs that I can wear with anything. 
  6. Fun phone case | I can't go anywhere without a fun phone case. Kate Spade ones are my favorite. 
  7. Deodorant | Since it is super hot now and days deodorant is a must. I don't want to be smelly! I use Secret clinical strength. 
  8. Travel size products | Whenever I travel I always bring travel size products. I usually go with Bath and Body works for lotion and body wash then Herbel Essence for shampoo. 
  9. Chino shorts | As you may know, chino shorts are my go-to summer piece. They are super comfortable and come in fun colors and prints. 
  10. Jack Rogers sandals | If I had to take one pair of shoes it would probably be my Jack Rogers. They go with everything I wear and can be casual or dressy. 
  11. Longchamp tote | I love this tote bag! It is the ideal purse to travel with because it is so light and easy to carry. I highly suggest one if you just need a quick bag to throw your stuff in.

Monogram Must Haves


Lately I have been obsessed with monograms. Yet again what else is new. But, I have picked some of my favorite monogram items from a variety of different places to share with you! So if you are in need of some monograms in your life that check out these fabulous products and stores/ shops! 

A monogram baseball hat: I am always wearing baseball hats. Naturally I had to get a monogrammed one! I have a simple black baseball hat with white embroidery. It is from Marley Lilly which is one of my favorite places for monograms! They have a great variety of things and they have great flash sales so look out for them! 




Monogrammed puffer vest: If you live somewhere cold like me a vest is a must have! I bought a black and white monogramed puffer vest from Marley Lilly and I wear it all the time. This is for sure a must have for me. 



Classic monogram necklace: I think every girl needs a monogram necklace. Currently I am in need of a super nice one but that is for sure on my birthday list! But, this one from baublebar is gorgeous and my friend has it and it seems to made very well. It is a little pricey but I think that it is worth it because it goes with everything! Personally I am a gold girl but silver is always a nice option. 



Monogram laptop sticker: College students are all about stickers on their laptops. My laptop is literally covered! One of my stickers is a monogram of course! So here is a super cheap sticker to jazz up your laptop or anything else you can stick a sticker too. There are a lot of places on Etsy that sell these types of stickers so you can find a style, price, and color for your own preferences.

Those are my monogram essentials! When in doubt monogram it :)
