inside lemon & lime: jess’ essentials
We’re back again with more of the inside scoop on what the ladies behind lemon & lime event design love! Up this time? Summer intern Jessica!
Josie Maran Moisturizer
I swear by Josie’s all natural, argan oil infused products. This moisturizer absorbs quickly and adds a layer of SPF, which my extremely fair skin craves, particularly in the summertime!
Magazines
I read nearly every fashion/women’s magazine there is to read, which has been made so much simpler thanks to my iPad. Whenever I need a little bit of inspiration or just a quick way to relax, sitting back with my favorite mags always does the trick!
Humongous tote bag
A big tote bag is an absolute must for my life at school and working with Ashley & Katey. If it can’t hold my MacBook, a notebook, pens, my little makeup pouch, my wallet, and any extras I need for whatever meeting we’re headed to, it won’t work! This Foley & Corinna one is more of a dream buy (read: $$$), but I also love this little ASOS guy.
Lilly Pulitzer planner
I only recently started using a paper planner, but it really helps keep my calendar organized! Lilly’s are so bright & feminine – I love the flamingos on mine!
Online organization tools
Since I started a lifestyle blog and my internship with lemon & lime this summer, I’ve had way more “to-dos” on my plate than usual. Teux Deux, a free website for to-do lists that sync to all of your devices, is my secret weapon for keeping it all together. I also couldn’t go without Blog Lovin’, an online reader that keeps all of my favorite blogs’ unread posts in one spot.
iPhone
This is mainly because I’m a social animal who likes to call her mom 2-3x a day . . . but also because it’s the ultimate way to entertain myself whenever I’m waiting somewhere. My People Magazine app has even helped me scoop Katey & Ashley on big news like the TomKat divorce earlier this summer. You might even say it has made me a better intern!
Sultra “The Bombshell” Curling Wand
My wavy hair can get a little bit unruly without help, so I love using this curling wand to create more polished spirals. It only takes me 10 minutes to do my whole head, and without a clamp I find that the curling process is a lot easier on my hands!
Bright colors in comfortable shapes
I love, love, love fashion! My wardrobe wouldn’t be complete without tons of color, and this fall I’m looking for bright sweaters and blouses to compliment dark wash denim, trousers, and leather boots. That red knit is absolutely gorgeous!

That’s it for this series for now (but when we add new team members, you might just see them here)!
