Travel is undoubtedly my favorite pastime. The eager anticipation in planning a trip and, finally, the surprise and pleasure of arriving at a destination are truly unmatched. Here are a few of my travel favorites to get you excited about an adventure of your own.
Photography provided by Caudalie; Little Lifner; Paravel; Phaidon, Monacelli, The Leading Hotels of the World; and Polaroid
The Remedy: Caudalie – Beauty Elixir
This hydrating face mist protects parched skin from stale, dry inflight conditions with soothing green grape, orange blossom water, peppermint, rose, lemon balm and rosemary. Bonus: The mini version is carry-on friendly.
The Carry-on: Little Liffner Sprout Tote
Whether traveling for business or pleasure, a reliable tote is essential. This suede beauty by Little Liffner is mid-size, perfect for easy riding atop your luggage and versatile for use at your final destination. I love the contrast stitching and restrained but unique artistic details.
The Luggage: Paravel
Allow me to introduce you to the world’s first carbon-neutral luggage brand, Paravel. Made from recycled polycarbonate, aluminum and vegan leather, the luggage is as beautiful as it is sustainable. The Sandstone Black Collection offers timeless colorways with optional personalization available. The Aviator Grand is my go-to when checking a bag. The packing cubes instantly upgrade the packing process, simplifying organization. Each can be personalized with embroidered monograms — so chic.
The Inspiration: Design: The Leading Hotels of the World
Armchair travel in style with Phaidon, Monacelli and The Leading Hotels of the World’s new collaboration celebrating over 70 iconic independent hotels through the lens of unparalleled architecture and design. This stunning coffee table book is filled with the best of the best in luxury hospitality. From The Chedi Muscat in Oman to the Ritz Paris, it contains a bucket list of destinations that dreams are made of.
The Memories: Polaroid Camera
It’s easy to take thousands of photos while traveling and never print a single selection. I like packing a Polaroid so I can film as much as possible while traveling — and then fill my house with sweet travel memories afterward.
My very best,
Emma Cutler Velez, Publisher
