Coachella is right around the corner and I wish so badly I was going! Who doesn’t want to bask in the gorgeous California sun while listening to music and socializing? However, with lots of music acts to watch and fun to be had, there are some things you’ll definitely want to keep in your bag! First off, if you need a bag to begin with, look no further than this super cute straw one from Urban Outfitters. The straw is super summery, which will perfectly accompany a light and flowy outfit. I also love this fringed backpack from 2020Ave if you’re more into edgy styles. The fringe isn’t overwhelming but definitely says festival style. Now, what to put in your bag?

1. Kill The Germs

Don’t even get me started on all the germs that come along with large events hundreds of thousands of people attend. Hand sanitizer will become your best friend whether you’re eating or have just used the restroom.

2. Hydrate

S’well makes amazing water bottles and this one doesn’t disappoint! It keeps liquids cold for 24 hours or hot for 12. The wood “texture” is super cool and is an essential size to keep you hydrated amidst those margaritas and running around in the heat.

3. Get Shady

Mirror sunglasses are huge right now and these don’t disappoint. You’ll have the California sun in your face all day so it’s important you protect your eyes while staying stylish. This LA Hearts pair are versatile and won’t ruin your outfit but rather make it.

4. Blot It Out

You’ll be sweating, no doubt, so blotting papers are a must to keep your makeup in tact and face free of sweat. Be sure to tap lightly as not to smudge your makeup further. You’ll be reducing oil and shine to be sure you look flawless in every photo.

5. Maximum Charge

Taking endless photos and texting your friends to locate them will absolutely leave your phone dead. That’s where this gorgeous marble portable phone charger comes in! It’s on-trend, slim, and incredibly affordable.
