I don't really bring too much stuff in my bag for the everyday basis, unless I've got class. Then I want to kill myself (well... maybe just my shoulder wants to kill me) because it's reaaaaally heavy, but that's life, you know?
First of all, normally I wear this type of bag, which has a zipper (very handy for the every day public transport life in Barcelona...) which is more secure that "open bags" and totes where anybody can put their hand in. At first you may feel a relieve because weirdly enough your bag just turned into a sweet little cloud that weights nothing but feather-like. Immediately later, and normaly too late too, you realise "OM*G!!! my bag is emptyy!!".
Yes, welcome to my life.So yes... that's really convenient for me.
I also want to point out that it is also a great purse to travel with. As the name itself suggests, you can fold it and put it in your carry-on bag and it takes no space at all. The only inconvenient I've found so far is that because of its minimalism it doesn't have propper pockets or departments inside (besides the tinny pocket that fits something like a phone), so I bought a purse organizer to put inside of it. I know it sounds kind of ridiculous to buy a bag to put in your bag... but it's really handy and helps a lot in the process of changing bags. You just take out the organizer and put it on the other purse. And VOILÁ! You don't have to spend half an hour changing all the stuff from one handbag to another like I did before, and thats why I always ended up not changing my handbag ever.
You are welcome for making your life easier! hahah
My must-haves are my wallet, phone (which doesn't appear because I was taking the pictures with it), Compeed (any shoe in the world will find a way to try to amputate my feet... luckily, they haven't succeed yet), lipbalms (although in the picture does not appear too many lip products, I swear that at some point I might have carried like 10 different ones "just in case"), my public transport ticket, sunglasses (my current favourites and the ones I wear on the casual days are the HALLY&SON ones that you see in the picture), perfume (I put it in this little flask, really convenient and handy because takes the same space as a lipstick, whick is almost none) and a notebook where I always write ideas, thoughts, reflections...
Tell me your handbag must-haves!
:)
