Nothing can add a spark to travel like a bit of fun accessorising. I have my eyes on a few things:
Like the cute travel tag from Etsy (’tis my featured shot for the post) which recalls the words penned for Catherine Morland (ref: Northanger Abbey). The leather tag scores by merely inscribing one of my favourite author’s (and I bet yours too) words on it.

A black & tan roll top rucksack, again from Etsy, which doubles up as a travel bag. It does not look frilly or feminine, just quiet grown-up chic.

A folding travel kettle sounds a bit unreal does it not? But a designer has come up with exactly such a kettle that is made of silicone. It is yet to be put out on the market but when it does, I shall be in the queue. I cannot bear the thought of a room without a kettle in it — oh, the harrowing idea of no tea in the morning.
