From the fresh fragrance that smells like summer to hardworking swimwear that doubles up as beachwear and bar-wear, this is what to make room for in your suitcase this summer.
COMFY SWIMWEAR
Hunza G swimwear is so comfy. When I’m on holiday, I want to chill and be comfy, and this swimsuit is perfect for lying by the pool, a swim, and layering with an outfit, as it can also double up as a bodysuit! I’d style this with a skirt and ballet flats and a shirt layered over the top to head to the pool or beach.

A HIGH-QUALITY SPF
I packed the Clarins SPF 50 Sun Care Water Mist as it’s so easy to apply and keep in a beach bag or handbag. I just spray lightly over my face or also over makeup too!

A HYDRATING LIP BALM
In the drying summer sun, staying moisturised is an essential for me, so a lip balm is always in my bag.

THE SCENT OF SUMMER
This, to me, is summer in a scent. A light, fresh fragrance with hints of citrus, it’s perfect for during the day on a summer holiday. A good fragrance completes an outfit, in my opinion. I’d pair this with a skirt or capri pants to wander around Palma, stopping for a coffee or an ice cream.

A ROOMY TOTE BAG
I chose to pack the Jacquemus Textured Palm Leaf Le Panier Soli Tote Bag for my trip as it’s a gorgeous everyday summer bag and a great size. On holiday with packed with a towel and beach or pool essentials, it means I can take everything I need for the day. It even fits my laptop in too. It really adds a statement to a look.

AN EASY BLOUSE
I paired the Ganni Tie Blouse with a Vivienne Westwood skirt as it has such beautiful tie details and is the perfect top to layer over a swimsuit when off to lunch after a morning by the pool.

THIS YEAR’S TENNIS SKIRT
I love the tennis style trend that always seems to come around in summer. I like that this Vivienne Westwood skirt is almost two different looks, with the pleats at the back. It’s comfy and easy to style with a vest or swimsuit for a casual, daytime look.

STATEMENT SUNGLASSES
Accessories make an outfit - I’m all about the accessories. I love gold jewellery and sunglasses. They really add to a look as they’re quite the statement piece. I’d pair them with a simple vest or tee to let the glasses be the staple piece.

A GOOD SUN HAT
I love bucket hats on a holiday. Paired with a matching bag and swimwear, a good summer hat is essential.

Accessories make an outfit - I’m all about the accessories. I love gold jewellery and sunglasses and these Gucci sunglasses pair so well with my gold rings. They really add to a look as they’re quite the statement piece. I’d pair them with a simple vest or tee to let the glasses be the staple piece.

GO-TO BALLET FLATS
Ballet flats are my go-to footwear of choice this summer. I'm yet to find an outfit that ballet flats don’t go well with - tracksuits, dresses, smart trousers - they pair well with everything! I’d style the crochet Miu Miu Knit Ballerinas with capri pants for an afternoon or early-evening look.
