You look down at your arm and realize something is missing. All panic sets in. You can’t breathe. Game over. Your life is over. You don’t even know who you are anymore. We all know the feeling—the feeling of despair the second we think we left our bag somewhere.
Why do we feel like this? Besides the fear of lost credit cards, our precious cash and licenses, all other contents inside mean just as much. The inside of a girl’s bag tell all. It’s her home away from home. When she loses it, she’s a hot mess…probably like the inside of her bag.
We picked out our favorite accessories that will keep the insides of your bag nice and organized without looking like one of those infomercial bags. You know, the ones that show a less-than-inspiring carry-all with compartments for every single item you could ever think of. We don’t know anybody who would pay $19.95 for it, except maybe Grandma, but we’ll let her slide. Have some fun with these items and remember to keep practicality close and your bag closer!

Who says toys are just for kids? Sometimes we just wish we were a kid again. But luckily for us, toys are no longer just for tots anymore. Thanks to super hip stores like Urban Outfitters and designer Jonathan Adler who sells “grown-up” toys, you can now indulge the little kid within (come on, we all have one). With these suggestions, you no longer have to be ashamed of letting your inner child out come out to play.

You know the saying “the more the merrier”? That’s my motto when it comes to music. Sometimes one great song just isn’t enough. We compiled 10 (okay, maybe a few more) awesome remixes to already awesome songs, which makes them just all the better. Enjoy!

Try on these light summer songs for size.
