What’s In My Travel Bag

Sine I’m traveling today I thought it was appropriate to blog about what I travel with in my carry on bag. I recently got this Madewell bag from Shopbop (they always have the best handbag selection) and couldn’t be more obsessed.

Anyways, this bag has two inside pockets, zippered closure, and a removable strap which is perfect for traveling with. It’s a great size without it feeling too huge….because we all know if it’s a huge bag I will fill it!!

I always carry my iPad with me anytime I travel. It’s easier than lugging a laptop through the airport, but it still has most everything I need. I also download a book or two on it so I can read it on my flight. I am a huge Jodi Picolt fan, so I downloaded her new book for my trip. Has anyone read it?

I also carry the essentials: hand sanitizer, mints, chapstick (can’t function without it!), and a portable charger in case my phone or iPad begin to die.

When I can remember I carry my headphones so that I can drown out any unwanted noise on the plane. Y’all it never fails…I always end up on a plane with no fewer than three crying babies.

On my last two trips I have carried a blanket scarf with me in case it’s cold on the plane, which it always is! Since it’s going to be cold where I’m headed it will also come in handy to wear this weekend.

Have a great weekend! xo

    The past few flights I have been on have had screaming babies. I only had ear buds… I think I need to invest in some of these bad boys!

    I have been eyeing this bag as my "everyday" purse. Are you able to fit the short handles over your shoulder? I love cross body bags but realistically I throw it over my shoulder and need one that can do both 🙂 Thanks!
