Baker's Dozen of Travel Essentials

A Baker’s Dozen of travel essentials.

With a 24hour flight to endure there and back from Frankfurt to Australia, 3 hours Melbourne to Cairns and 2hrs Cairns to Brisbane plus over 12hours on the road between Brisbane and Sydney, please find my Baker’s dozen of essential travel products below…

13. Rosie for Autograph, Marks and Spencers black Cashmere trousers and Cardigan with silk tie= cosy and comfy for the transatlantic flight and snuggling up on any cold nights.

12. Urban ears ear phones and ipod. For blocking out unseemly noises.

11. Travel Guides – Bill Bryson Down Under, Lonely Planet- The East Coast Australia guide. Educational & Amusement purposes.

10. Sunglasses x2- hide a thousand sins, I love my Versace & Karl Lagerfeld ones.

9.  Dr Hauschka minis- Rose Day Cream to keep my skin super hydrated plus it smells divine.

8. Cath Kidson Rose Lip Balm & Revlon Colour Stay Ultimate Liquid Lipstick in Premium Pink & Red Tomato. Lip stain that really doesn’t budge = photo ready posing at all times.

7. Nuxe Multi-Usage Dry Oil Golden Shimmer. I hate how sun creams always leave you with an unattractive white sheen, so a few drops of this mixed in not only smells gorgeous but adds a beautiful golden shimmer whilst being intensely moisturizing, how can you resist? Sun cream you ask… I love St Tropez SPF 30 for the face with Tan enhancer. 

6. Smythson diary, notebooks and Muji black ink pens, keep me list writing happy and holiday notating in style.

5. Books & Magazines.

I am currently working my way through The Penguin Book of Erotic Stories by Women. I remain one of the few who hated 50Shades, so as an antidote to suffering Book 1, this is a fabulous anthology, spanning the last hundred years that acknowledge and confirm a woman’s right to define her own sexuality, rather than having it shaped by men. 

 

4. Bachs Rescue Remedy Spray. As I’m not the most relaxed traveller this plus some a few drops of lavender oil on my pretty kath kidson face cloth are essential.

3.Black and white Pretty Ballerina pumps- chic and super comfy, also go with everything.

2. Canon G12 Powershot Camara- to capture the stunning Australian scenery.

1. Long striped American Apparel jersey dress and silk mix cardigan – essential change of outfit and comfy travel outfit for any internal flights or train or car or indeed cable car journeys!
