We all need a cute going-out purse. This one is cute, light-weight, and has a lock for the zipper so nobody can get in. This is the only purse I travel with

Obsessed with this bag. Light-weight, water-proof, lockable, holds a lot, and looks like the Lululemon crossbody bag except it's more protective.

I ONLY use this for flying. It's very touristy and bulky for daily use, but for flight days it holds everything and has a ton of compartments.

This wrist strap has the best phone attachment piece (it's made of medal). Every other wrist trap I've tried (at least 5) have broken eventually but this one is holding up

Air tag batteries because it's always when your air tag isn't working that the airline loses your bag. Stay ready!

Similar to Arden Cove but much more affordable. Can't say how good it is but there are good reviews

I might get this – it's light enough to pack easily and I would use it to take my laptop to coffee shops for working. An easy-to-pack backpack is one thing I've really been missing

Not my style of cross-body but really cute and the faux leather elevates it

Another version of the zipper clips. I don't use this one but it looks secure!

I REALLY like this for beaches and pools. You need a chair or something to lock it to, but even just having your valuables in a code-locked bag gives you peace of mind
