What’s in my bag- Rome edition

Last week before heading to Rome I decided that I didn’t want a big handbag that I had to lug around with me all day whilst sight seeing and eating ice cream. I had a online for handbags which I could wear cross  body and which were also light-weight and pretty. I spotted this Dorothy Perkins one on the House of Fraser website and fell in love with it as it can also be worn as a clutch.

It’s that effortless versatility that makes certain accessories indispensable when you’re on the go. Choosing a piece that not only complements your outfit but also adapts to your travel pace makes a world of difference.

This kind of functionality and fashion-forward design comes to life in the latest summer bags from lesportsac. These pieces are crafted with lightweight materials, smart compartments, and fresh seasonal prints that make them just as fitting for a day at the beach as for a casual dinner in the city.

The collection blends practicality with a playful edge, offering styles that transition seamlessly from sightseeing to evening strolls. Whether you’re heading abroad or just enjoying a local summer escape, having a bag that works hard and looks good doing it can elevate your entire travel experience.

My boyfriend was a bit of a star in Rome and offered to carry my DSLR camera in his rucksack so I just had to pack a few more of my essentials.

In terms of beauty I kept it minimal, a Bourjois Healthy Balance Powder to obviously powder my face but which also has a great size mirror, to go with that I packed my Real Techniques Setting Brush- it’s my favourite! Just incase my eyeliner did decide to melt off (it was warmmm!) I packed my Sisley So Intense Liner and my Burberry Full Kisses lipstick in Rose Apricot for post pizza application.

With that there are a few essentials; a phone charger and european adapter, my vlogging camera for quick videos and my favourite La Moda Sunglasses. When trying to keep my bag light I also swap out my big chunky purse for a smaller coin purse, this one actually lives inside my larger purse so is really convenient. In my purse I kept the basics; ID, money and my bank card.

I’m so glad I kept it light for Rome as we walked so much! I can’t wait to share more Rome posts over the coming month so keep an eye out!
