I have several items that I always keep in my purse and hate to do without. Do you have items that you make sure you always keep with you? Today I will be discussing the four items that I always keep in my handbag.

The first item that I can not live without is a pair of sunglasses. There is nothing worse than being stuck out in the sun without sunglasses and having to squint the whole time. It also provides added protection for your eyes which is a plus. One of my favorite pair of sunglasses (pictured above) is the Costa KC sunglasses. I own them in the blue mirror lens with a silver frame and the green mirror with rose gold frame. I have always had trouble finding sunglasses that fit and look right on my narrow face. These are a smaller fit which is a great option for those of you with a narrow face like me. As much as I adore the big lens sunglasses that I see others pull off so effortlessly, I simply can not pull them off and tend to look more like an insect.

The second item that I always carry with me is my Tory Burch coin purse. A big wallet tends to take up too much space in smaller bags so I typically store my drivers license and debit/credit cards in there. It makes it much quicker and easier to switch purses, especially when I’m switching to a small crossbody that my wallet does not fit well into.

The next item is probably the most important item that I never leave home without. I always make sure I have some type of chapstick with me at all times. I have a slight obsession with chapsticks and become anxious when I know I don’t have any with me. It’s like the day I leave it at home is gonna be the day that I seem to need it most. My current obsession is the Vaseline Lip Therapy in the rosy lips flavor. It’s available in a few other flavors as well.

The last item that I always keep in my purse is some type of lotion. Being a nurse, I have a habit of constantly washing my hands which is not a bad habit but it causes my hands to dry out. I currently use the Eos hand lotion. I like this product for it’s sleek design, which makes it easy to carry in even a small handbag. It also has only a mild scent and works well to moisturize with just a minimal amount of lotion.

SheInside Review- Are Those Prices Too Good To Be True?

Have you seen bloggers post the cutest clothes that they bought from an overseas website for an unbelievably low price? If you are anything like me, you probably think it’s too good to be true. Or you think they are only saying those good things about the clothing because they are sponsored to say so. Well that’s how I felt. I mean a super cute top for only $9 that is actually decent quality?

I decided to order a few things to see if it was really worth all the hype.(This post is not sponsored. I paid for the items and am not receiving any compensation from SheInside) I decided to shop on SheInside because they had several items I liked and had read bloggers who had good experience with the website. SheInside also offered an additional percentage off for first time customers. A percentage off the already low prices was just too good to pass up.

I ordered two off the shoulder tops (because I just can’t get enough of that trend) and a maxi skirt. Below I will discuss each item and give you my thoughts on the quality of each product.

Royal Blue Ruffle Off the Shoulder Blouse: I was incredibly impressed with this item. I ordered an X-small and that is my typical size. I found this top to be TTS. One thing that bothers me about off the shoulder tops is when the sleeves keep sliding up and over your shoulders. That is not an issue with this top. I have worn the top multiple times and have not had any trouble with the sleeves sliding up. For only $14.99, this top can not be beat. It is totally on trend and super cute. The top looks great with blue jeans or white skinnies.

Red Off The Shoulder Long Sleeve Blouse: This top is the second off the shoulder top that I ordered. I also ordered this top in an X-Small and found that it ran TTS. The color is actually more of a coral than a red though. It is super lightweight so even though it may be long-sleeved it can still be worn during the summer. These sleeves actually stay in one place as well. This top cost less than $10.

SheInside Rview Green High Waisted Pleated Maxi Skirt: This was my favorite purchase of the three. It is absolutely GORGEOUS in person. I recently wore it to a wedding with a white ruffled top. I ordered the X-small and found it to be TTS as well. It fit perfectly in the waist and was the perfect length after I added some wedge heels. It hit just above the floor, so I didn’t have to worry about it dragging the ground. (I’m 5’4″, if that helps at all). I can’t believe that I snagged this beautiful skirt for only $22.99.

Some final advice when ordering from these websites: I highly recommend reading the measurements for each item before purchasing to make sure it will work for you. I have read comments of people who bought a dress that fit more like a top in length and vice versa. I also highly recommend reading the customer reviews. This helps to give you an idea of the quality and fit of the different items. Some customers will even post a picture with their review so it gives you a good idea what the item will look like on.

Have any of you ordered from SheInside or other oversea websites? What are your experiences? Which are your favorite?
