Glow, Sip, Style: My Summer Bag Essentials

They say fashion tells a story, but for Dina Yassin,…

Picture yourself wandering a palm-lined promenade at dawn, the sea breeze carrying whispers of salt and sunburnt wood. You’re carrying the Bottega Veneta Sardine Chain raffia-effect tote, its sculptural handle cold against your hand. Inside, seven essentials await to punctuate every moment.

First light calls for a mist. Reach for the Caudalie Beauty Elixir, a veil of vineyard freshness that snaps you awake and primes skin for the day ahead. Next, slip on the Venus Andre Montana sunglasses, those feline-wing frames that turn every café stop into a front-row moment under swaying fronds.

As the sun climbs, smooth on La Roche-Posay Anthelios Tinted Sunscreen SPF 40+ for weightless defense that lets your natural glow shine through. When humidity rises, knot the ANDANTINO Mulberry Silk Scarf around your head or wrist, a whisper-light cocoon against errant strands and sticky heat.

By midday your smile needs a boost. Swipe on Balmade Electrolyte Tinted Lip Balm and feel that subtle flush anchor you in the present—ice-cold drinks and laughter echoing between coconut palms. Later, as sand clings to your sandals, coat your hands in Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Touch Hand Cream, a molten whiff of indulgence that softens every hello and high-five.

When dusk paints the sky pink and gold, press Maison Crivelli Hibiscus Mahajad Extrait de Parfum to your pulse points. Hibiscus petals swirl into a smoky backbone, trailing like fireflies behind you as night folds around those palms.

Are these just products or tiny ceremonies? Each one transforms a stroll beneath palm canopies into a ritual you’ll savor long after summer fades.
