This Magical Bag Will Make Your Life So Much Better – Truffle Clarity Pouch

If you’ve been reading my blog, or following me on Instagram, then you already know I am head over heels in love & obsessed with these Truffle Clarity bags. How could you not be?! They’re stylish and made of extremely high quality materials able to withstand frequent trips to the airport, daily abuse at the bottom of a handbag, or even as a clutch for a night on the town!

MY FAVORITE WAYS TO USE THE TRUFFLE CLARITY BAGS

CARRY ON ESSENTIAL

I was like most travelers and using a Ziplock bag to carry on my liquids. Not only was this wasteful, but it was nerve wracking wondering if the bag would withstand the duration of the trip. There is nothing worse than a Ziplock bag bursting open and all your liquids spilling out.  The large and small sized clutches are perfect and sleek for carrying on your liquids in a slim, and high quality pouch. I personally prefer the large size because I can fit everything in one pouch, but this size is not technically TSA approved.  If your worries about TSA giving you trouble, go with the small size, but just know that I haven’t had any issues traveling with the large and I’ve used it multiple times!

HANDBAG CARRY ALL

The mini clarity clutch is perfect for any handbag. If you’re like me, and constantly have pens, hair ties, bobby pins {among other things} all sitting at the bottom of your purse, then you need the mini clarity clutch. Your purse will thank you. It’s great for keeping all of those small items that get lost in your bag organized.

ELECTRONIC ORGANIZATION

I hate having all my cords and chargers unorganized in my carry on bag when I travel, so the large clarity clutch is the perfect solution for keeping things looking tidy and organized. I love how slim these bags keep everything too. I can fit it in my carryon purse or bag without any issues!

Now, if you’re still reading, then I have a treat for you! I’ve teamed up with Truffle to give away two $100 gift cards {one for you, and one for your best friend!} to Truffle so you can treat yourself to your own clarity clutches and start traveling better!

Red Valentino Skort

Bottom: Red Valentino Floral Skort {also here!} // Top: Madewell Central Shirt // Bag: Celine Nano Tote // Sunglasses: Illesteva Leonard Mirrored Sunglasses // Shoes: old, find similar here

Do y’all remember wearing skorts as a kid? I loved them. I actually went to a school that required a uniform, and our skirts in middle school were skorts. It was awesome. You could run, and play and do cartwheels without ever having to worry about flashing anyone or being innapropriate. Not that we really cared at that age – especially at an all girls school! But OK….I’m getting off track here. Where were we? Oh YES. Adult skorts. Most specifically this gorgeous blue & white monkey print skort by Valentino. As soon as I saw it, I knew I needed it. Isn’t it amazing? So playful, so fun, and underneath the ‘skirt’ – shorts! I’ve paired it here with my trusty chambray shirt {I wear chambray all year round} and decade old silver oxfords from Forever 21.

I can’t beleive it’s already almost Memorial Day! Where has this year gone?! Do you have any fun plans? We’re headed to Colorado and I’m just so excited to be in nature and cooler temps 🙂

Seeing Stripes

Top: Scotch & Soda/Maison Scotch Striped Blouse // Jeans: Frame x Karlie Kloss Denim {shorter version here} // Shoes: Schutz Enida Heels // Bag: Celine // Sunglasses: Old, similar here // Earrings: Lele Sadoughi Crystal Lily Earrings {less expensive version here}

As soon as I saw this top I knew I had to have it. Stripes, peplum-like sleeves, and a crisp cotton all callin my name. I love the oversized relaxed fit of the top, and that it can be worn frontwards or backwards {just see the model online! She’s wearing it the opposite way as me! Love it.} These white flare jeans are a tried and true favorite – I’ve had them for years, but if you aren’t as tall as me, these are another great alternative. Have heard nothing but great things about that denim line! Last but not least, these white acrylic flower earrings are a favorite, and a summer must have, for me. They’re so incredibly light you forget you’re wearing them and they go with everything! I also love this less expensive pair. Tempted to buy both! Shop all of these looks by clicking the links above or below!

With summer right around the corner {it’s already in the 90s everyday in Dallas!} it’s time to stock up on a few fun items that are under $100 and will be perfect for summer no matter where you are. #2 is a dress I’ve owned for years and it’s still one of my absolute favorite go-to dresses. It’s flow-y and comfortable and comes in 7 other colors. I also own #10 in the neutral color way, but have been eyeing the turquoise for a while and I think it’s time. You can’t beat the $35 price point! #15, #12 and #14 are items you could easily wear straight into Fall and I’m obsessing with #7 – they’re classics!

I don’t even know where to begin with this one! I love a striped tshirt dress in the summer, and I couldn’t pick between this adorable red one, or this classic blue & white. #2, #5, #8 & #10 are all ordered and on their way to me {I think I’ll wear them all summer long} and if you follow me on Instagram you know I already own #14 and LOVE.  Shop all my favorites by clicking the link above or below and let me know in the comments which ones are your favorites!
