when i travel, i tend to carry a lot of items with me: a camera, tour book, wallet, my passport (safety first), some lipstick, etc. finding a (cute) bag to hold all of this while not weighing me down can be a challenge (free tip – ok i totally stole it from rick steves – buy a small tour book or tear out only the pages you need!). since i like to keep my hands free while exploring, i’ve searched for a few good cross bodies that are big enough to hold my gear, but still small (and cute!) enough to carry all day and even into the night. enjoy!
