Who to follow: Carrie Colbert of Wear Where Well (@carriec)
Where to go: Aspen, Colorado. “As much as I love living in the South, the heat and humidity of Houston is almost unbearable at times during the summer,” says Carrie. “So, we have been spending lots of time in Colorado… several weeks in Aspen, plus a stint in Telluride.”
Which bag to pack: “The Eva Crossbody bag is great, as it allows your hands to stay free for whatever you’re doing,” says Carrie. “The bag can be dressed up or dressed down, and it is the perfect size; it fits all the essentials, plus a few extra things.”
Carrie’s Aspen Recommendations: “Aspen is definitely one of my happy places, particularly in the summer. The cool temperatures are ideal for outdoor activities like hiking, biking, rafting, tubing, and more.
It’s a good thing that it’s such an active town, as I definitely consume plenty of calories while I’m there! Ha. One of my favorite restaurants in the world is Aspen’s Matsuhisa. They have the best sushi and don’t miss the black cod! For an afternoon cocktail, I can’t pass up the “Mule” menu at Hops Culture—it’s an entire menu of Moscow Mule-inspired drinks. My favorite Mule is the Porcupine – a grapefruit infused concoction.”

Where to go: Charleston, South Carolina
What to pack: “I’ve always loved a good lemon print! Doesn’t this bag just scream summer and sophistication? Plus, it’s great for a day of exploring or a day at the beach.”
Amy’s Charleston Recommendations: “Start the day with an amazing Bloody Mary from Pearlz,” says Amy, who headed to the eclectic little oyster bar to kick off her friend’s bachelorette party weekend. Amy then suggests walking along the Battery for great people watching and views of the historic mansions.
