Gift Guide: Luxe Travel Items for Your Favorite Jet Setter

Tory Burch’s Minnie travel ballet flats are essential to your traveling needs. They’re crafted in super-soft, supple napa leather and feature a slip-resistant split rubber sole, layers of foam cushioning and stitch-and-turn construction—a special sewing technique that refines the seams. Plus, they fold—making them the perfectly chic traveling shoe. The flats come in a variety of colors, but we suggest the light oak—nude goes with everything!

You can thank Derek Lam for smelling like a flower (or a kiss, a rainy day, etc.) on your travels. The haute fashion designer has released a collection featuring 10 distinctive, modern fragrances based upon one very famous New York street. The scents, inspired by moments, stories and women seen and imagined outside of Derek’s window at, as per its name, 10 Crosby Street, run the gamut from fresh and floral to deep and oriental. In Silent Night you’ll find white musk, while in Looking Glass (our favorite) you’ll find Chinese magnolia; Something Wild contains cedar wood and vanilla bean Madagascar, while 2AM Kiss is all about salty wood and crystalized amber.
