Spring & Summer Essentials: What's In My Bag

I'm celebrating my 100th post by showing you my spring & summer essentials and the things I'm loving at the moment.

1. Bandeau bikini tops are a must for me during summer because I cannot stand tan lines on my chest. I don't need a lot of support in the chest department, so I can get away with wearing them 24/7 in the summer. 
2. I'm also loving these Aid Through Trade beaded bracelets because they come in tons of colors and sparkle in the light. They're  inexpensive and the money is going to a good cause.
3. I always need lotion and lip balm so it's a given that they're included in my essentials. I'm really loving this black pepper & ginger scent from Antiguan Aromas and the Fresh Sugar Rosé lip balm.
4. Of course I need my electronics such as iPhone 5, Polaroid camera, and bluetooth MP3 player to keep me occupied by the pool.
5.  Aside from electronics, like to do a bit of reading to entertain me. I'm really interested in fashion and style books naturally, but I really enjoy reading fiction as well. I'm currently reading the first Game of Thrones book because I love the TV series so much.
6. Lastly, I protect myself from the sun with some SPF 75 and my polarized Ray Ban Club Master II.  

I tote everything around in this vintage woven market bag. It adds the perfect amount of casualness to any outfit.

An evening with MSMR and Wildcat!Wildcat!

This past Sunday my best friend and I went to see the band MSMR. The two of us love them so much that we have seen them perform three separate occasions.

Overall the night was great. We went to Matchbox on U street before and then walked over to the Black Cat for the show at 8. 

The opener was actually my favorite: an all guy band from Austin called Wildcat!Wildcat! I highly suggest checking out their self titled EP... but sadly they only have a few songs out now.

Now for MSMR, I was a bit disappointed in their performance. It was a sold out show so I expected it to be great- as they always are... but this time I don't know if it was the sound quality of the club or what, but they just sounded a bit off. 

Don't get me wrong, I still had an amazing time. That may be the last concert I go to on a Sunday because we got home at 1am and I had school the next day.. EEEK.
