Fly away with me

It seems like every year we’re trying to out-do/out-party/out-style our New Years Eve plans from the year before.  And this year isn’t any different- we’ve had our bags packed for days (the hot sand and cool sea are a-callin’), and whilst we’re sure to give you plenty of holiday style tips and favourites to come–we figured every girl deserves some pretty travel accessories.

The passport covers above are the perfect way to keep you’re most valued travel essential, your I.D., safe whilst you’re skiing or island hopping or sipping a few foreign brews along the trail.  Smythson, Radley and Urban Outfitters offer cute options to suit a range of budgets.

Simply adore this carry-on bag by Mulberry (£795) below.  It’s gorgeous for a girl, but still neutral enough that your partner won’t mind carrying it either (mission accomplished!).  This is one of those travel accessories that will endure.

Comfortable eye-masks are essential for any long haul flights, blocking out the random reading lights that seem to stay on all night long.  You can colour coordinate these velvety smooth masks from Graham and Green (£12.95 each) to match your luggage or your outfit!

Aspinal’s pretty in pink makeup roll is sweet and sophisticated.  Store your gloss, shadow and mascara neatly in separate compartments.  This suede carry-along is ultra-luxe.  We suggest one for the home as well.

We love Tory Burch’s across the body snake-print bag for here, there…and well, everywhere.  Mum always warned us to watch out for sticky fingers in foreign cities, but we could never bring ourselves to wear the ever-dreaded fanny pack.  Instead we’ll opt for the fashion-forward body-wrapping bags to keep our most precious possessions safe.

Happy shopping and happy travels!
