Okay, so as I previously said, i'm going to do a quick run through of what I could fit in my new Eastpak backpack on my train journey up from London. I've spent the past two years flying from Edinburgh into Heathrow so I was excited to take the train as a bit of a change.
1. Train Tickets - I actually had a lot of train tickets and ended up putting the wrong one through the ticket gate at peak rush hour time and it was just. so. bad. 2. Face Wipes - Travelling makes my skin feel a bit icky sometimes so I always carry these to keep my face and hands clean. 3. Urbanear Headphones - I don't know why, but these feel 10 times better when i'm travelling. When I wear them and i'm flying it's just like a match made in heaven. 4. Sunglasses - The link for these is here and were a birthday present. I adore them so much and sadly sat on my last pair (I also have a cleaning kit that I got with my glasses too). 5. iPhone Charger - for obvious reasons 6. iPhone - for obvious reasons 7. Purse - I can't actually seem to EVER close my purse. I have loyalty card for literally every shop I go in. If I go into a different branch in a different city I forget I have one so I end up getting more. 8. Make up - I got up at 6:30am to get my train so by the time I reached the outskirts of Edinburgh I was looking a little worse for wear. I can't go anywhere without Carmex. 9. Macbook - I actually keep my laptop in a Herschel Sleeve when I have it in my backpack to keep it from getting knocked. I've had it ever since I got my laptop and it's saved me so many times. 10. Vogue May Issue - I had enough time to read this cover to cover. I always feel the need to have a Vogue with me when I travel.

I also had a packed lunch in my bag, a bottle of water, and my Canon camera (which I used to take this picture). I was surprised at how spacious my bag was even once it was filled with all my stuff. The straps weren't cutting into my shoulders at all. I had a small luggage bag with me too. It's so nice to be back at university and I was very tired when I got home yesterday. I went to get a burrito with my boyfriend and return an overdue library book - just the usual.
Hope the weather is nice where you are!
