The Backpack Is Back!
Is it 2002? Nope! But YES I am wearing a snazzy backpack.
I think there was a time where backpacks kind of just left the face of the earth - or maybe I just left school? Whatever it was.... I didn't own any.
Flash forward to 2015 and Kirstie is LOVING those handy bags once more and is totally in love with this newbie.
I love how comfortable this bag is - it has a padded back which is probably my favourite feature, it makes it so much nicer to wear.
The backpack features the large inner compartment and the zipped front pocket (the best place for your lipgloss and keys!) and can fit so much in!
The dotty pattern is great, being black and white makes it subtle but the spots give it that something different about it - I don't think I'd like it as much if it was just plain black.
It is priced at £40 (here), which is great fo the quality - you can tell it's durable and has so many uses! (There's got to be a style/colour/pattern out there for everyone!)
My 3 top uses for a backpack :
1. Overnight stays
We all like to have night's away from home, I still regularly have sleepover's with my best friend (even though we are in our 20s) and this is the handiest way to take all my essentials! My handbags are never big enough and I don't want to be taking 5 different bags to pop out for the night so this is perfect.
I took a backpack to London earlier this year when I went to see Taylor Swift and it was the perfect size for everything I needed.... and I don't pack light I tell ya!
2. Hand luggage
Ooooo even writing that has made me want to go on holiday! But yes, hand luggage is always a tricky one for me. You have most of your bits and bobs in your suitcase but you still what those few important bits with you.... I mean I never trust my make-up going in the hold.... what if they loose?!
Backpacks make travelling so much easier, you are already carrying your passports, your tickets etc etc so it's nice to just have a backpack to pop on and not worry about having something else in your hands or on your arm!
3. Shopping
If you hadn't heard yet.... it's now 5p for a carrier bag here in England! I've spotted so many people wearing backpacks round town now and it's such a good idea, especially if you are picking up a small food shop! Plus it's alot easier to carry home!
What do you think? Do you guys own any backpacks?

My Hand Luggage Essentials
Today is the day I'm off on a jet plane and going on my holiday! Yay! After annoying veryone for 9 months it is finally time for us to leave!
Along with a holiday comes packing... and as much as I like to think I'm good at it ... I'm really really not!

Along with a holiday comes packing... and as much as I like to think I'm good at it ... I'm really really not!
I always seem to pack 99% of my belongings and only use about 4% of them - you'd think by now at the age of 24 I would learn but nope... I definitely need those 34 pairs of pants and 57 tops "just in case"! (and that's for a weekend away!)
It's not just my suitcase I seem to overpack but I have always seemed to find space for the randomest things in my hand luggage.
Saying this, this time I feel like I done quite well to be strict when packing my hand luggage! So I was thinking that today on A Yellow Brick Blog I'd show you some of my favourite essentials that I've popped in my backpack.
Keep your eyes peeled here on the blog as even though I've popped away for a little while it will still be live and kicking for you all to read and hopefully enjoy!

First up - the apple shrine. Yup, my iPad mini, iPod & my iPhone. I couldn't leave the country without these little connections to the outside word, is it sad that they a like an extra limb? I'm looking forward to having my iPad for the plane journey, hopefully with that, the in-flight entertainment and my kindle I'll be able to keep myself entertained!
A little bit of reading material to get me super duper excited? Why yes I have that covered! The Little Book Of MAgic has anything and everything you need to know about Disney in it! I think I'll be doing alot of planning with this thing! Plus my Tangle Teezer.... I can't go anywhere with this hair saftey blanket!
My kindle is my little baby, like carrying around a mini library with me 24/7! I'm currently reading the Vampire Academy series so I'm hoping t get in lots of reading time whilst away!
A few beauty essentials now. I couldn't be a so-called 'beauty blogger' and not have some form of girly products in this post could I?
1. Mirror, obvious really, a great size to take with you, especially as our hotel probably won't have them in helpful places! 2. Lip butter, you can't travel, go on a plane or even really leave the house without having a lip product with you! My skin and lips sometimes feel really dry and thirsty when flying so keeping them hydrated is key! 3. Anti-Bac... public transport is dirty with a capital D, this make me slightly more comfortable with it! 4. Hand cream is a lovely little pick me up I like having in my bag and it's under 100ml so perfect as a backpack item! 5. Wet ones... I don't know why I feel the need to have these, but I do.
