5 Must Haves: For a Chic Mama on the Go

Meet Kristin. She, along with her bff, are the incredible force behind BonBon Rose Girls. I "met" Kristin" on Twitter and instantly fell in love with her blog, her style and her warm personality. Wait. Do I have a girl crush? :) 

Must tell you, their blog kicks major ass! I suggest you check it out because, like The Average Girl's Guide -- they always have a random fun post up their sleeve! I'll let Kristin tell you a little bit more about herself, but from what I know... this girl is definitely worthy of the title, "a chic mama on the go," so this post is very fitting! And, please check out their site. You'll be thankful you did!

Here, in Kristin's words, are her five Must Haves for a Chic Mama on the Go!

Hi there! It's Kristin from BonBon Rose Girls. I'm so excited that I was asked to guest post on this beautiful blog! If any of you lovely readers are fellow mamas you can probably guess that I'm on the go...and on the go a LOT! Here are some things that help me get through the day when I'm on the move with my toddler P.I.C. (partner in crime) otherwise known as "The Dude."

A Large and in Charge Tote Bag

Longchamp Le Pliage at Nordstrom

One that doubles as a travel bag is most useful as I can cart around a Thomas the Train collection when tooling around the town with my kiddo or several fashion rags when I'm traveling!

Lip Gloss

Smashbox O-GLOSS at Nordstrom

I may not make it out of the house with a full face of makeup put on, but I never leave home without my gloss! A juicy bit of color brightens up my face and draws attention away from those ever present dark circles us mamas tend to have.

Super-Useful Pouches

Pouch at Kara Maria Sophia

I can't say enough about pouches. I have one that I keep my lip glosses in and it prevents me from having to dig through my bag when my time is better spent doing other things, like chasing down my runaway toddler. HAHA!

A Travel Mug

OXO Good Grips Travel Mug at Sur La Table

I have posted about the beauty of the travel mug on more than one occasion and I will continue to do so! I gotta have my coffee and one of these ensures that I can take it with me wherever I go and I'm being kind to the environment at the same time. It's a win/win situation people!

Wellies

Hunter Original Glossy Rain Boot at Bloomingdale's

I didn't realize how much I needed a pair of all weather boots in my life until I was in NYC last year in the middle of a blizzard. My bestie/bloggy partner/travel P.I.C. was toasty warm in her Hunters, while I was not. I don't live in NYC, but it rains here enough in Florida that I think I might be able to justify the expense. A girl can't properly get her errands done with wet feet!

Well, there you have it...my must haves for a girl on the go. What are yours, lovelies?
