Instagram Cam: Michael Kors has teamed up with Fujifilm to offer a limited edition camera with a design evocative of the famous Instagram logo. Like the app, the new Instax Mini 70 ($149) is perfectly suited for taking photos meant for social sharing, from quick snaps to shiny selfies. This fashion-forward camera is available in metallic gold with an optional gold chain shoulder strap ($28).
Mood Melody: Give the gift of smell with Cyrano ($100), an app-controlled device that emits relaxing scents. Cyrano allows users to create a smell playlist from three libraries, such as Cancun Stroll, with notes of citrus, guava, and peppermint, or Central Park, a mix of night air, grass, and magnolia.

Light Reading: What looks like a book but is actually a lamp? If you guessed the Lumio lamp ($190), then you Googled it. A source of illumination for on-the-go bookworms, Lumio begins as a closed book and folds open—accordion style—to reveal a 360-degree lamp. (Neiman Marcus locations)
Water Works: Fans of artist Katsushika Hokusai and his wave woodblock print will cherish the Évocateur Nami cuff ($348). Available as part of Hamilton Jewelers’ Artisan Collection, this bracelet features an enamel design over 22-karat gold leaf. (Special order, Hamilton Jewelers locations)

Travel, curated by Editor-in-Chief Daphne Nikolopolous
“See the world, open your mind, learn something new, free your spirit. Adventure is the cure for everything.“
Carry-on Care: On a long haul, bags are inevitable—and we don’t mean the overhead-bin variety. For under-eye circles and puffiness brought on by jet lag, the perfect antidote is Talika Eye Therapy ($59 for six). These reusable patches temper inflammation and refresh the eye contour area in 30 minutes. A must for every carry-on.
Hello, Hydration: Air travel depletes the skin of moisture and elasticity. Both can be restored with Cellular Cream Platinum Rare ($1,140), La Prairie’s ultimate rejuvenator with climate-activated ingredients to adjust to environmental humidity and dryness. (Neiman Marcus locations)
Sipping Pretty: A new collaboration between Emilio Pucci and Illy makes it possible for coffee lovers to be reminded of beautiful travel memories every time they sip their morning espresso. Pucci’s Cities of the World scarf collection inspires these Illy Art Collection coffee cups (espresso: $150 for six; cappuccino: $175 for six), which depict scenes from Florence, Rome, Milan, New York, London, and Paris.
