The bag I use on a day to day basis, just for how perfect a size it is to carry around and yet has great space, is this Micheal Kors bag and one that I really recommend if you are looking for a nice medium sized handbag.

Anyhow, the first item on my essentials list, is of course, my mobile. I think this is pretty much every bodies staple items these days but for me, I just love to have it especially for long bus journey, so I can listen to music or play games. Speaking of music, my next item has to be some head phones, so I can play some tunes in times when I am on a long journey or just generally want to block outside noise, headphones are always an essential for me.

My third item is a lip balm and no matter what the season, I have to have one. Whether I am wearing lipstick or not I always use these as the pollution in cities seem to take it's toll on my lips throughout the day and so a lip balm is always in my handbag. Forth essential would be a good hand cream and that applies to the same reasoning as the lip balm, that no matter what the season I love to have one of these handy as my skin gets dry after long days out in the urban world.

Finally, for me personally, I love to pack my favourite book for me for long journeys, as though can can read them on your phone and what not, for me, I always prefer a real version and it really helps to make whatever bus I am on just pass by that little faster.
