The world of travel accessories is ever changing and I am constantly surprised by the newest and greatest toys that, of course, I HAVE TO HAVE. It’s a matter of NEED, really. Here are the newest travel accessories I am lusting over :

Lifeproof Phone Case : well, truthfully, I already have this but it’s the best! You can never be too careful with your phone while traveling and it would be disastrous to lose those recent holiday photos and not be able to insta-spam your friends.

Portable Charger : Having your electronics die mid-day on a vacation is the absolute worst. A rapid end to that snapchat story.

Kate Spade x Everpurse : this is the greatest. idea. ever. A purse or wristlet that charges your phone while you carry it! Eliminating one more thing you need to carry, this is a necessity for those wanting to travel light and especially those who constantly forget their portable charger (guilty).

Portable Hard Drive : you can’t risk losing all those amazing holiday photos, so secure them on a hard drive while you travel.

All in One Adapter : forget lugging around a bunch of different adapters for every country you’re traveling to, grab this one and you’re set. bonus, it has a USB port.

Filtered Water Bottle : the easiest way to ensure you have fresh water anywhere you go? bring a bottle that filters it for you!

Travel Pillow : the IT travel pillow right now. must have.

Shampoo Bar : traveling with carry ons only? need to get around that pesky liquid requirement? bring your shampoo in solid form and save extra space in that tiny baggie for other liquid goodies.

Cordless Hair Tools : you’ve probably heard me rave about cordless hair tools before, but its seriously the best invention! if you need that curling iron or straightener wherever you go, and you’ve ruined one or two by not having the right converter, this is a lifesaver. Splurge on this one or save with this!

Travel Perfume Capsule : I am always hoarding those mini perfume samples they pass out so this would make life so much easier.
