In the Bag: Europe Edition

March 21, 2016 by jessica 22 Comments

Inside My Bag: Packing for Europe

I’m not feeling particularly prepared for our upcoming trip to Denmark and Belgium. I still have daily itineraries to complete and a packing list to compile, but I do have one thing ready: the contents of my everyday purse while we’re abroad. While I try to pare down to just the essentials, it doesn’t always work out. We rarely stop back at the hotel during the day and I’d hate to find myself without a creature comfort like hand cream or Band-Aids for blisters. Fortunately, the Tory Burch bag I purchased earlier this year (worn here) is spacious enough for just about everything (excluding the case for my sunglasses).

  • iPhone (not pictured)
  • Camera (not pictured)
  • Passport and cover (love this one)
  • Journal and pen for jotting down observations, recording what we did each day, and storing reciepts
  • A deck of cards or a set of dice for playing Farkle
  • Card case for my credit cards (similar)
  • Coin purse (mine is an old one from Coach similar to this)
  • Sunglasses
  • Herban Essentials towelettes for cleaning my hands or sanitizing surfaces on the plane
  • Band-Aids
  • Hand cream
  • Lipstick (a long-wear lipstick and one that’s easier to apply on the go)
  • Mirror (mine is by Lauren Merkin and her shop has since closed; here’s a budget-friendly option)
  • Brush and hair ties (not pictured)
  • Tissues (not pictured)
  • Inhaler (not pictured)
  • Reusable shopping bag for the grocery store (not pictured, but I purchased this cute Kate Spade one)
  • Container with allergy pills and pain medication (These containers are also great for packing tiny items like earrings or bringing just a dab of a special face cream or exfoliator that you don’t use every day. There’s a larger version that’s perfect for packing dry snacks for the plane. I bring almonds to avoid any hangry outbursts.)

The bracelet is made of 10k gold and hammered to reflect the light. It comes in white, yellow, and rose gold. Best of all, it’s flexible so that it’s easy to get off and on.
