whats in your girl's bag?

First week back at school. Some adjectives to describe my return to the grind:
-ew
-vomit
-disgusting
-cruel
-sad

I although getting back into my workhorse mentality seems lame right now, the good news is, I'm still alive and my birthday is coming up in a few days, and I will officially be the Dancing Queen. I'll probably make a birthday post with my birthday makeup that I will meticulously plan out, as well as a birthday outfit. Because thats me. ALSO, the new season premier of none other than Broad City is HAPPENING on my birthday. Shoutout to GOD for making that happen this year. You're an actual baller, dude.

 Quick update, I've been looking into getting a new hair straightener that will actually work for both straightening and making those cute beachy waves, and I've been hinting to my family to get me the NuMe Megastar for my birthday. It's gorgeous and works tremendously according to the NuMe Instagram account and countless user reviews. The best part is that they usually have so many promotions going on, all you have to do is check out their RetailMeNot page and use one of their many codes for discounts usually around 70% off. ($160 flat iron magically becomes $70) They also post promotion codes on their Instagram once in awhile. I recommend their website to anyone who's looking for really high quality heat tools like wands and flat irons that can be made much more affordable with a little couponing.

So theres your infomercial.
Moving on,

To have a lil something to distract my fellow babes who have also returned to school this day, heres a  cute & nice official What's in My Groovy Fringey-Ass Disorganized Bag (If You Care) Post.

Here is my dope bag

 So, here you can see my lippy obsession isn't as bad as I make it seem, but really, these are just the tip of the iceberg of what I carry around. That Josie Maran lip/cheek stain is a lifesaver. So moisturizing and flattering (and tastes amazing). Burt's Bees is a given. Not sure why I'm carrying around the super dark purple lipstick. Never know when you need to step it up to vampiress status. And theres a boring but cute & flattering nude/pink Rimmel Kate Moss lipstick.

In the shade 80. And chipped red nail polish is IN this season.

 Here are my other random items. My adorable pouch there is responsible for holding stuff (obviously), and a lighter in case I need to light some candles wherever I go. You never ever know. My portable phone charger is also included here (so helpful, everyone should invest in one). I love it so much and it gets warm when it charges things so its great in the winter. A little tiny bottle of Chloé perfume, for when I just need to spruce it up, and of course, my keys. (Fun fact: I'm so intensley attached to my car keys, when I lost my tie-dye lanyard my boyfriend bought for me on the streets of New York, I cried for at least 10 minutes. I love my keys.)

And I like to travel with my Instax and some film if I'm going out and want to capture some cute teenagery moments.

That's that for a quick post, I plan on going out on a shoot tomorrow inspired by Kate Moss's "heroin chic" era of the 90's. Check back tomorrow or in the next few days for how those turn out!
