As my holiday is soon approaching I have been figuring out my outfits for the week (my favourite part!) so I thought I would share with you a few of my fashion essentials :-)
1. Bikini's
I like to bring a range of Bikini's with me in different styles, as they will be what I wear during the day throughout the week. I think bra style bikinis are best if you want more support and they generally tend to have a thicker lining to them. However, I personally find triangle bikinis to be much more comfortable to relax in. My favourite is this blue one on the right from Victoria Secret. I always like to take a pair of plain bikini bottoms with me so I can mix and match :-)

2. Crop Tops
Crop tops are a must for me as I think they are perfect for lounging around in and exploring the town. They also work so well with high waisted shorts which I always bring on holiday with me. I like to bring something a little more out of my comfort zone with me on holiday, such as this fringe crop top, as I think it is fun to play around with clothing when abroad.

3. Vest Tops
These vest tops provide a bit more coverage for day to day wear and I will be more likely to wear these when out and about or out for dinner. Whilst shopping recently I was particularly drawn to the top on the far right due to the way the straps come in at the centre back (my inner fashion design geek is coming out!) which I found to be very flattering. All of these tops were £12 or cheaper which is a bonus!

4. High-Waisted Shorts
High-waisted shorts have always been a must-have for me, I think they are extremely flattering on every body shape and I love the variety of styles they come in. I always take a range of denim shades and I have more recently purchased a black pair so I will be sure that I have a pair that will match with the top I am wearing.

5. Sundresses
I don't wear dresses very often, but I love little sundresses in the summer as they are simple, effortless and look cute :-) The one on the left has little appliquéd flowers on it, which is absolutely gorgeous and screams summer whilst the one on the right has rows of stitching to create a unique design to the skirt and is a great replica for Brandy Melville dresses. They are perfect for the evening too.

6. Playsuits and Dungarees
I love playsuits and think they are super versatile for any moment on holiday, whether you need to throw something on at the pool or go for dinner they will be your best friend - plus this one is super comfortable! Dungarees are a trend that I have seen being worn by many and I can't wait to style these for the first time on holiday :-)

7. Flip-flops and Sandals
Open toed shoes are the only type I like to bring on a summer holiday, as my feet can stay cool and get a nice tan! Flip flops I wear for when lounging around the hotel, and sandals for when exploring or in the evening :-) I especially like the white pair on the far right for evening as they have a slight platform to them.
From left to right:
Black and Gold Flip Flops - Ralph Lauren, Black Classic Leather Sandals - Gap, Hetty Cleated Sole Shoes - Topshop
I must quickly mention that loose short sleeved t-shirts are another essential of mine, but unfortunately the ones I have ordered have not arrived yet. They are great for throwing on after getting out of the pool and are great for protecting your shoulders from the sun :-)
I hope this post is useful and there will be another holiday essential post very soon!
Lots of love,
