Mykonos
Crochet Beach Dress - Next
Inspired by jewel tones and rainbow colours. I love this beach dress perfect for jetting off to Mykonos. Sipping a Pina Colada in the midst of a Grecian beach bar, pair this dress with your favourite bikini - gold frame sunglasses and layered chunky jewellery.
The perfect green hue inspired by the rolling rice fields of Bali, Indonesia. Practical in design, it allows for hands-free frolicking, or riding on the back of a motorbike. This suede bag is my ideal holiday carry on. Style with a floaty white linen playsuit and matching bucket hat.
Taking influence from the neutral settings of Rhodes in Greece, I adore this one shoulder dress from Whistles. Suitable for the day with flip-flops and Ray Bans, I loved wearing this dress on holiday as the fabric is beautiful and flattering. Take this dress to dinner with a slick bun and a red lip for the perfect, smart-casual attire.
Taking influence from the hustle and bustle of Lisbon, Portugal. This cool piece would be perfect for wearing as a top, or styled on a summer’s evening as an over-shirt. Pair with dark denim shorts, and a crossbody bag for exploring the beautiful Portuguese streets with a Pastel de nata in hand!
Where would be more perfect to sport a vintage inspired midi dress than Puglia, Italy? Picture a quaint evening on the terrace, with an enchanting Italian sunset, red wine and a seafood linguine. This dress is cut on the bias, so hangs beautifully off the waist - and bonus? Conceals a bra for that functional edge.
Inspired by the laid back, simple lifestyle of Menorca, Spain - I adore this tie top by Bohème. Clever in design, this piece will cater for a range of bust sizes. Pair with neutral cargo trousers and Havaianas for the ultimate cool-girl attire. Or if you desire a more classic approach, style with denim shorts and a basket bag.
A subtle summer nod to Sydney, these cool linen trousers are perfect for a long haul holiday to Australia. Style with a vest top and sandals for an easy, Bondi Beach outfit. Then double up for the plane journey home, with a lightweight knit and trainers.
Because of it’s name, I had to link this tote from the Loewe x Paul’s Ibiza collection to...you guessed it - Ibiza in Spain. Inspired by the vibrancy, and colourful culture, I love this straw bag in this beautiful yellow, mimicking the shade of the Spanish sun. Pair with a floaty linen dress, sandals, and finished off with Sanpellegrino for the epitome of Summer.
With the influence of not only Barbie, but by the beautiful beaches of Phuket, in Thailand, I had to include something striking in this holiday line up. Pair this comfortable, yet cool two-piece with a bucket hat and sandals. This ensemble definitely has huge, full-moon party potential.
My last holiday piece is inspired by Provence, France. Taking influence from an iconic 90s frame, the slimline silhouette will compliment your face while exuding cool-girl confidence. Style with a sleek bun, and chunky Bottega Veneta earrings for a picture-perfect day in Provence.
