6 things to pack for a summer holiday.


These are the things I never leave home without. 




1. THE DAY/NIGHT OUTFIT. 

I always try to pack one outfit that can take me from day to night. It cuts down on packing space, and makes life easier all around. 

For a summer getaway, I like a slinky camisole and high-waisted shorts in white or black. 


2. THE SUMMER BAG. 

Yes, sometimes even I take a break from black. Navy or grey is such a nice alternative for summer, and this size is big enough to fit all of my travel necessities, but not too bulky. I also love a long shoulder strap. It makes everything feel more relaxed. 


3. THE BLACK SWIMMERS. 

You can wear them as much as you want and it won't be "that" bikini that you've worn every day. Plus, black always looks polished and classic. 


4. DRY SHAMPOO. 

Skip the shampoo and conditioner and touch-up salty locks with some dry shampoo. It will save you time and space. 

5. MULTI-PURPOSE MAKE-UP.

Less is more when it comes to make-up on holidays. Pack products that go that extra mile, like Nars The Multiple in South Beach. You can use it to contour, as a blush, and on the eyes and lips, too. 

6. THE BIG BLACK SHADES. 

Great for hiding behind when you have a hangover. I never leave home without my Karen Walkers!

HAVING A GREY MOMENT.


All layered-up from head-to-toe. 



Even I will admit - sometimes, black and white gets a little monotonous. The thought of wearing colour is nice, but it can be hard work. 

If we were to cross paths on the street any given day of the week, 9 times out of 10 you'll find me in black, white, or a tonal mix of grey on grey. 

If I'm really feeling fruity, there'll be some nude, khaki or blue in the mix, but right now I'm loving a clash of textures and tones in grey. 


And if the whole head-to-toe thing is a bit much for you, get on board with grey accessories. They'll break-up an all-black outfit, they also look beautiful paired-back with white and the colour is far more versatile than I first thought. 



Top it all off with some grey Nike Roshe Runs and you're in business. Done.

Oh, P.S. I got the chop! But more on that coming soon...

MY KIND OF DRESS.


I finally found 'the one'.



I'm not exactly sure what's going on at the moment, but as I've said before, I'm not usually a dress girl. They usually feel too overdone and feminine for me, but lately I've been lucking-out in the dress department. 

First it was this black midi dress (still obsessed), and then this high-neck Camilla and Marc shift had me at hello. 


I love that it can be worn from AM to PM. It's simple, but the right accessories take it to the next level - like my new favourite bag from Deadly Ponies. I love the way the beautiful texture breaks-up my minimal outfits on a day-to-day basis. 


Oh, and some Givenchy flats don't hurt either. Together, they make the perfect dressed-up/dressed-down combo. 


On another note, I have a couple of (very exciting) surprises coming for you shortly... but you'll have to stick around the find out what they are!
