There are so many fabulous IT bags under $500 this summer 2021 season! It is so nice to know we don’t have to break the bank in order to afford a beautiful IT bag which will definitely turn heads this summer season. Love that!

This beautiful straw tote bag is priced just under $500, and it’s an IT bag which is hot this summer season, and has been hot for several years now; it may already qualify for classic IT bag status! It really is a great investment bag!

Also, as you already know, pouches are hotter than hot right now, and these two are priced nicely at under $500. I own the yellow one and love wearing it often. It fits everything I need it to fit while being comfortable to wear; plus it’s super soft. Love that!

Do you see that cute little tan hobo in the collage above? I am in love! This bag is on my wish list. I am in love with it’s east/west, slouchy silhouette, and it’s ’90’s era strap. Plus, the color is on point for the summer season, and early fall. Love!

It’s time for summer skin care! In addition to my go-to neck cream, face cream, and eye cream, I like to add sunscreen to my summer skin care routine. Of course, sunscreen is something to think about all year long; especially in sunny places like California! That being said, I use heavier sunscreen in the summer months due to all my outdoor activities.

Sunscreen and facial creams are important, but it is equally important to care for your body skin too! I love this hand cream from Colleen Rothschild. It isn’t greasy and works like a charm. I also love her body wash, body scrub, and body butter. These are holy grail body skin care products. Love them!

BAF Weekly IT List from top left: black eyelet sleeve top (under $50) / sparkling brown summer nail polish / sparkling summer nail polish / sparkling red nail polish / summer knit top / yellow puffy slides / leather espadrilles (on major sale!) / black classic IT bag / basket bag / classic convertible IT handbag (under $300) /

Can you believe it is the second week of June? How is the year going by so quickly! By now, you are starting to enjoy the summer season, and you may be finding you need a few summer IT items in your wardrobe.

This week, both spring and summer nail polish hues are trending. If you aren’t into the neutral summer hues we are seeing in summer nail polish, spring’s sparkling red is the nail color for you! In addition to spring and summer nail polish, puffy slides and comfy espadrilles are trending right now. Both styles are comfortable, and work with different looks. Three cheers for comfort!

Classic IT bags are still trending in 2021, and the classic Marcie and Swinger bags are showing no sign of slowing down. If you don’t already have one, what are you waiting for? In addition to classic IT bags, this basket bag is a hot summer IT bag. It looks great with hot weather looks and it is also perfect for beach vacations. Love!

While spring clothing and accessories are starting to pop up on sales, summer items are still full price. If you want to invest in a few new summer pieces, but are waiting for a sale, you don’t have to wait! If you have the LTK app on your phone, you can enjoy fabulous discounts on summer merchandise through the LTK app during the LTK Day sale event running today through June 13, 2021.
