When I travel, I usually opt for a crossbody bag. It’s important to be hands free but keep a few essentials on my person at all times. I wanted to find the smallest crossbody purse that still had an exterior pocket for my phone, arguably the one thing that I reach for most. An interior pocket for a few cards and then space for glasses, passport, boarding pass, phone battery pack and cord. I found a cheap off-white one on Amazon that still had just enough space for some lip balm and a small container of mints too.

 

I decided to bring a nicer, roomier twig colored Elizabeth and James saddle bag purse with a crossbody strap this summer. My sister and brother-in-law got a car since my last visit. I would carry a backpack often last summer because I needed to always have a raincoat and umbrella handy for Ireland’s fast-changing weather. Now I can usually get away with leaving my jacket or umbrella in the car.
