The $16 Lifesaver I Packed For a Weekend on Fire Island — Plus 9 Other Essentials

Jambhala Store Elegant Evening Purse ($24)

I love fun and colorful bags, and this one is perfect for Fire Island as it embodies the vibrant energy of the nightlife there. The hot pink color adds the perfect pop to any outfit, and it's big enough to hold all the essentials — phone, lip gloss, keys, wallet, and a few extras. Plus, it can be worn as a clutch or with the detachable chain for a hands-free option. Surprisingly, it's also under $25!
