sheer + studded.

getting out the door in the mornings has become quite the chore because of two things. juice and water. a few months ago, i caved and bought a TIGER stainless steel [water] bottle. depending on the style and size, these bottles can cost up to $60...but they are the bomb! it keeps my water cold all day. and, if i didn't eat them all, i'd still have tons of ice at the end of the day. it went on sale for $29 at my local drugstore, so i grabbed a couple. on a rare occasion, it goes on sale for $19, but you better be first in line when they open if you want one; they go fast. i figured i could take them on my hikes, but i now bring it to work everyday. the water just tastes good coming out of the bottle (maybe psychological!), and i can easily drink the liter throughout the day (whereas before i didn't drink any water while at work)

i also started juicing in the morning. i try to drink it at home, but i usually don't have time to finish it all.

so...in addition to my coffee, i'm now carrying a
water bottle and a cup of juice.

and...that's in addition to my bag, my makeup bag,
and my lunch bag.

and...on occasion, i'll have my camera bag.

anyone else have this problem?

water, juice, and coffee...every morning.
yes, the paint is coming off my coffee cup, but i haven't found any other that is as spill-proof as this one. i've even dropped it, full of coffee, and the lid stayed on!

My husband has a UA water bottle like that. He takes a lot of stuff with him to work to. So we got him a huge duffel bags. That he carry work out clothes, water, lunch, portion shake and so one.

I have a 32oz bubba mug I drink my water out of. I love it.

love the detail on your skirt.

Don't worry, I awlays carry big and heavy bags and my shoulder always hurts! I bring my bottle of water (plastic), make-up purse, purse, a book, fruits and other stuff and in addition to that I hold a cup of coffee. And since I have a DSRL I carry another bag too.

P.S. Cool otufit! I love the details!

Actually it makes a lot of sense that the water tastes better out of your bottle! It's like wine glasses, different types change how air flows into your mouth while drinking, and that really affects flavour reception and how you taste - even something like water. I swear that water out of a coffee mug is just disgusting, but the same water in my favourite glass is refreshing and delicious.

I have a million bags when I go to work too so I know what you mean. luckily we have coffee at work and I leave my water bottle there to refill. so a few less things to worry about!

yup, the camera takes up a lot of space, and it's heavy! most times i don't even use it, but just like having it on hand.

That top is lovely! I've started drinking juice in the morning. It's such a lovely treat and is so refreshing. It's always good to drink more juice and water, I bet you're using the little girls room a whole lot more though!
