1. Wallet and Metrocards
Literally one of the best ways to get around New York City is by subway and recycling your old cards by simply refilling them is the best.
2. Keys
Always. There’s been tons of instances where I have left my keys in my apartment and had to sit outside and wait for the spare. Worse has happened but let’s keep it at that.
3. Mophie battery pack
As an influencer, I am on my phone almost triple of a regular person’s phone usage time. Totally normal right? My phone gets drained out by 11 am and with seven hours still ahead full of meetings, lunches, fittings and events, Mophie forever saves my life on the daily.
4. Ray Ban Aviators
Almost everyone looks great in these classics. These are my new go-to sunnies. Whether I’m all decked out or bummed out in a lazy day ‘fit, these are the cherry on top to making my day look a little bit more bad ass than usual.
5. Easy midday touchups
My favorite shade of Kat Von D: Lolita II. Lolita I is cutesy but this shade brightens any complexion out there.
6. Sugar
A good balm is almost as good as a good lipgloss. Sugar by Fresh Beauty has been my favorite for years now. It works instantly and just smells ( and tastes) bomb.com. (yes, I went there).
7. Nars Matte Tinted Moisturizer
When dapping calls, this baby saves. Light on the skin and great for when the oil starts to creep in. I have this ready in between shoots and quick lunch meetings.
8. Spice
I love spicy. Tabasco is literally a necessity for me. You’ll find me carrying a mini almost every single day ( until I accidentally run out and forget to switch to a full one by accident).
9. Notebook
Sometimes when I’m sitting in my uber or commuting home in the subway, an amazing idea just pops in my head and because I am super forgetful, it helps to write it all down. I’m super oldschool like that but never regret it. Sometimes writing is better than typing. Try it out once in a while.
10. Post it Quotes
Coffee is a great pick me up. So are quotes. We’re human and we all need reminders. I write mine down and stick them everywhere. I’d bump into one right before a photoshoot and feel way better and energized after reading one off my notebook.
11. Tevas
If I’m not wearing them, I’m packing them. They go with everything I wear. The leather is super chic and a great break for when you wanna slip out of your heels/boots.
