What's In My Bag | Summer Edition

August is finally upon us, which means lazy days in the sun and adventures with friends. I especially love the evenings! Sitting with my buddies next to the Isar, the river going through Munich, or in a park, having a cold beer and chatting or playing guitar is just wonderful!

And to show you how I last throughout a longer day outside, here I am to share with you what's in my bag in the summer time:

1.  A little book. I'm usually carrying one around wherever I go. It's so useful for a long train journey or if you're just sitting there and waiting for a friend - let's be honest they're always late!
2. A Notebook & a pen. I'm always jotting down ideas, whether for blog posts, youtube videos, songs or just little sketches, a notebook is an absolute necessity!
3. My purse. Where I keep all of my cards and money and the one or the other random photo.
4. A hair band & some pins. In case it gets too hot even for my short hair.
5. A mirror. This little thing is so useful! It's a mirror and a hair brush in one, and it's so small and light, perfect for the occasion where you want to check on your smudged eye liner or just get your hair into a better shape.
6. A solid perfume. I got this little thing from my aunt a few years back and it's just the cutest little thing. It's Cherry Blossom from L'Occitane (lovely smell!) and while I'm almost never putting it on, it's always beside me - just in case, you know?
7. A fan. I really don't go well with heat, so sometimes a fan is unavoidable for me. It is very cute, and while it might look a bit stupid to flutter this thing in front of your face, it's pure bliss on a very hot day!
8. My phone & some ear buds. Duh.
9. Various lip products & chewing gum. I always carry lip balm and one or the other lipstick & -gloss around, in case I need it. Same goes for some chewing gum.
10. Some Sunnies. Instant coolness level achieved and obviously they're incredibly useful!
11. I usually pack a bottle of water as well, I just forgot it on the picture, whoopsie...

So that's what I always carry around with me, what's the item you couldn't go without in the summer?

Hope you all had a lovely July, see you soon,

Jill
