TRAVEL - Whats In My Travel Bag - City Break Edition!

This post is about what I have in my travel bag. This is the only bag I will take on the trip with me! So it needs to be a good decision and go with everything i'm going to be wearing. (Usually I go on colder city breaks so you can't see my outfits at all, but it needs to make my coat look stylish!).

Copenhagen 2017. 
Bag of choice: Celine Nano Luggage. 

Reasons: small but mighty, fits more that expected and is durable. 

I purchased this bag last October and since then it's been on all of my city breaks with me. Riga, Edinburgh, Kraków, Copenhagen and most recently Reykjavik. 
It's such a good bag and there is much more room than you would expect. When I buy a bag I do lots of research and that was a fact that popped up every time. It fits in what you need. (If your a bag stuffer like the old me you might need something a little bigger). 


In the bag I have...

My passport and all other important travel items. (I keep them all in a clear travel bag they give you at the airport and I keep my travel insurance papers, my European health insurance card and then I will put my boarding pass in there so when i'm walking around the airport it's all together)  

My purse (wallet). Which is a full size purse! If I used a smaller purse or coin purse there would be even more room! I do have a card holder but when I go away I obviously take cash of the currency of the place Im visiting.

I always have bobbles (hair ties) because my hair always gets in the way so I like to have the option of getting it off my face if it becomes to annoying. 

Lip balm. I have learnt my lesson on previous city breaks! I always get dry lips and now I have lip balm with me wherever I go, but I find it such a must when I go travelling as the plane and the cold weather make them extra dry! My personal favourite is the Clarins lip balm. It's amazing! 

Headphones. For obvious reasons. I usually listen to music the whole flight if  there isn't TVs on the plane. (Which I have just realised I will have to take my adapter on flights now since I got the iPhone 8 as it's not got a normal earphone plug!) 

Phone charger. If my phone ever gets to even 50% I go into panic mode! Plus if you ever get delayed its good to have with you in case you need to top your charge up.

That's mainly it. That's what I would have with me when I go to the airport. When I get to the destination I would take a few items out that I don't need. If it's too full I will only panic if I can't see my passport so I try to keep it organised, everything has its place. And a plus for this bag is it has a zip closure so nothing falls out and people can't get in! With it being a small bag it also doesn't take up much leg room under the seat so you don't have to be uncomfortable on the flight with a bag taking up that precious leg room! (Because if your like me I don't really like putting things in the over head compartments unless it's my hand luggage case. I like to have all of my things by me!)

This post is kinda a little review of this bag also! This is my second most used handbag (behind my Louis Vuitton Neverfull, if you would like a review on that bag just let me know!) it was my first smaller bag as I was always a big bag person which has definitely changed, this bag fits even more in it than what I listed above, that's just the items I put in when i'm going away. The pebbled leather makes it really durable from scratches, so if your someone that worries about your bags, if you can get a textured leather so you don't have to worry as much! This bag has seen all weather conditions! In Kraków it poured down to the point I could have probably rung the bag out! (I know your not meant to get leather that wet so it was a little worry of mine but there's no problem at all with the bag!)
Overall I really love this bag for when i'm travelling and when i'm not! If you were thinking about this bag I would definitely go for it (especially since the price goes up every few months to a year!). 

My next post will be about my recent trip to Reykjavik, Iceland! All about what there is to see, where we stayed, how much money I took, if we found it expensive and all that good stuff so if you have any questions about the trip please send me your questions!
