Happy Friday, friends, and cheers to the weekend!! My heart is positively bursting with all the love and support you showed our GLxHSP ‘Hello Summer’ Collection this week! I’ve been floating around with a perma-grin for days! If you missed it, you’ll definitely want to check it all out HERE.
And to cap off an incredible week, Mr. SP and I are headed out today for a last-minute weekend getaway! We have so many unused travel credits from the last couple of years, and a chunk of them were expiring this month… so away we go! I found this little hidden gem awhile ago, and I can hardly wait to see if it’s as amazing in person as it looks online. Follow along on my Instagram HERE to see where we end up.
Today I’ve got a hodge-podge of summer fun and inspiration… and it’s a doozy!
All Packed Up //
After six good years and countless trips, my beloved Calpak finally wore out. Actually, it was my fault for dropping it a little too hard. Let’s have a moment of silence for the mighty little bag that’s seen me all over the globe!
Crewneck Tee | Jean Jacket | Joggers | Sneakers | CalPak Suitcase | Carry-On Duffle Bag | Removable Strap | Straw Hat (Color: A01-Beige) | Hat Holder Clip (This thing is genius!!)
But it does give me the chance to try out a new luggage brand, and this one has crazy good reviews! Plus, the price point is great, especially the 3-piece set! It was super easy to pack, and it wheels easily. I’ll report back after a few days of travel.
Rolling Spinner Suitcase | Carry-On Duffle Bag | Removable Strap | Straw Hat (Color: A01-Beige) | Hat Holder Clip
You know I also swear by packing cubes, but e-bags are almost impossible to find now, so after extensive research, I ordered these. The material and quality is spot on, and the zippers are strong and sturdy. Definitely two-thumbs up!! You won’t believe how much room you’ll save using these!
4 Piece Packing Cubes Set (I find the medium size the most useful for optimizing carry-on sized bags)
And I don’t go anywhere without these clear bags… perfect for everything from toiletries to charging cords.
Just Keep Swimming //
With this trip coming so last-minute, I headed straight to Amazon for some fast deliveries. I found this darling swimsuit and skirt.
Two-Piece Swimsuit (Color: Coral) | Flounce Skirt (Color: T6) | Straw Hat (Color: A01-Beige) | Slide Sandals (size up half) | All-Weather Bangles | Square Sunglasses
This swimsuit remains one of my all-time faves. It’s wildly flattering, full coverage, and super cute style. It runs a little big, I wear an XS.
Ruffle Trim Striped One-Piece Swimsuit | Layered Pendant Necklace | Straw Hat | All-Weather Bangles

Summer Style Must-Haves //
I have a closet full of sandals, but these are pretty much the only styles I reach for, no matter the occasion! The flat sandals are designer-inspired, with a great price point and are super comfy. The heels go with literally every dressy style you have this season.
Clear Strappy Heels (size up half) | Slide Sandals (size up half) | Strappy Sandals (TTS)
For a higher price point, you really can’t beat the classic Tory Burch Miller sandal. Especially now in this new cloud fit, with a cushy, padded insole!
When it comes to bags and accessories, these remain my go-tos for Summer!
Straw Tote Bag | Striped Tote | Removable Tassel | Rattan Circle Bag | Straw Hat (Color: A01-Beige)

Blonde, Baby //
I ordered a bunch of new beauty products to test out during the last big Sephora Sale… and I don’t want to speak too soon, but this Kerastase Leave-In Treatment appears to be pretty miraculous! Not only is this my air-dried hair… but my air-dried hair after going to bed with it wet!
I literally combed it through my damp hair, and then went straight to bed. Normally I’d wake up with frizzy, wonky hair that requires me to fully re-wet it. But instead I woke with full, smooth hair with my natural curl accentuated. And the blonde is even a little brighter! I was so impressed, I grabbed a travel size for our trip! Have you tried it?

HI Cassie:
Love this round up! Is it the one piece blue striped bathing suit which is hour favorite and most comfortable or the two piece? Thank you, Marianne
Hi Marianne! I’m not sure I understand your question… but yes, I do love that ruffle striped one piece swimsuit! The leopard/tropical two-piece suit is coming with me on my trip this weekend, so I haven’t worn it at the beach/pool yet to give a full review. Hope that helps! xo, c
Hi Cassie,
Is there a leave in treatment for Brunettes?
Thanks!
Jennifer
Hi Jennifer! Since I can’t personally attest to any brunette hair products, I’m not sure what Kerastase has to offer for you brown-haired girls! Here is a link to all of Kerastase’s products, I’m sure you can find something that would treat your specific hair needs!
