We finally did it. Honestly, it's surreal. Give me a second while I sit back and catch my breath. OK, I'm ready.

After eight years of producing what we believe is the world's best travel scarf, we've finally overtaken our arch-nemesis, the money belt, in a travel story about the safest ways to carry money.

And let me tell you, this isn't any old travel story, it's a feature on Better Homes and Gardens written by Mia Taylor, an award-winning travel journalist who writes for Better Homes and Gardens, Real Simple, and Parents.

She says: "Created specifically to help you travel safer—while looking fabulous in the process—the stylish travel scarves from Speakeasy come in a variety of colors and patterns and allow for stashing all your must-haves in a secret pocket."

All I I can say is watch out fanny pack, we're coming for you next!

Many of you don't know this but I used to be a travel photographer. I plan to get back at it once it's safe to travel but in the meantime, I am getting some joy out of seeing some of my photos from the Maldives featured in Town & Country! 

Here are some screen grabs of the article coming out in the spring issue in Town & Country UK and if you want you can see more of my photos of the Maldives on our travel blog. 

And if you ever get the chance to go, I can't recommend Gili Lankanfushi enough - what a wonderful place for full relaxation in the most beautiful surroundings.

What better way to kick off spring than with some free (and super cool) travel goods.
