Going Somewhere?

Going Somewhere? It can be hard to decide what to bring, try some of these finds, from the versatile little red dress, classy silk blend t-shirt to the not so itsy-bitsy sexy bikini, they will reduce your packing time by half.

FROM LEFT TO RIGHT and TOP DOWN

Multitask Make-up Palette: when you on the go, you need everything in the one place. Try Nars The NARSissist Cheek Kit from Sephora. It comes with “a luminous flush of highlighting blush will give the skin an alabaster glow, while the soft, sheer powder blush complements the complexion and adds a peachy pink shimmer to the cheeks. The true brown-based bronzer with a gold shimmer fusion is excellent for creating or enhancing the look of healthy, glowing, tanned skin.”

Little red dress is sexy and versatile, dress it with heels for a night out or with flats for walk about town shopping and luncheon. Try some of these favorite finds below (sorry the dress in the article was sold out).

Dress 1: Club MonacoTika Dress from Shopbop

Dress 2: ALEXANDERMCQUEEN zip waist dress from Farfetched

Dress 3: AQUA Dress - Cross Front Peak Ponte from Bloomingdale

Black Cropped Jacket for the chilly nights or somewhere formal, choose a stretchy material so it’s both classy and comfy, wear it as a jacket for day or on the plane, then to night over your favourite jeans or dress.

Try: GRACE JERSEY PANEL DETAIL BLAZER from MARCS

Sexy Black Heels: I pack a pair of heels every time, no matter where I go, because they are the easiest way to dress up any outfit. Pair them with jeans, skirt or dresses. When you have great heels on you feel million dollars.

Try no other than CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN Air Chance 100 leather and suede slingbacks from Net-a-porter

In da hood: This made me laugh so now it is ranked as my No1 travel essential…a hooded travel neck pillow. The hood contains an inflatable pillow for ultimate space-saving convenience. This portable travel pillow also has an adjustable drawstrings can be pulled to create added eye coverage to block out the world around you. BUY IT From HOODIEPILLOW.COM

Espadrilles are simple and conformable; they normally are made with breathable material suitable for long hikes. Try: Tory Buch Catalina CANVAS ESPADRILLE

Colored Sunglasses are available from most markets. I inevitably will loose mine on holiday so I always bring cheap spares.

Best T-shirt Money Can Buy: This will be one of those splurge items that your friend will say: “you spend what on your shirt?”, but trust me it will be totally worth it. It is not until you feel the material you can fully appreciate the awesomeness of knitted silk t-shirts. It will be “OMG if I was to live in one shirt for the rest of my life this will be it.” (while you are on holiday you pretty much live in your t-shirt anyway)

TRY: SAINT LAURENT CLASSIC V-NECK T SHIRT IN BLACK STONEWASHED SILK

Jeans, Jeans and more Jeans: Jeans are a staple in just about anyone’s wardrobe, you will be hard pushed to find someone who don’t pack jeans on holidays. For those girls who can’t decide whether to bring boyfriend jeans (because they are comfy), or skinny jeans  (because they look better) try JBrand's 'Jake' Jeans they are a slimmer take on their signature boyfriend cut so they are the best of both worlds.

For the traveller who want to see something different and try the local best away from the tourist tracks. Wallpaper City Guides are not just chic accessory to loft apartments, “Wallpaper* City Guides provide the savvy traveller with a need-to-know checklist of the best a location has to offer, whether you are staying for five days or 48 hours.

HAT is a girl’s best friend (alone with sunscreen) to prevent premature ageing and cover up bad hair days. Love big hats like SENSI STUDIO Lady Ibiza Toquilla Strawsunhat from Net-a-Porter.

Bikini with a twist: this super sexy bikini comes in many colors so if and when I have the money I will buy one in each color. I love it because it’s bikini but it’s not so little that I will be embarrassed in a hotel pool, yet sexy enough for any exotic beach I am ever likely to visits. Choose a bright color to bring out your tan. BUY IT HERE: AGENT PROVOCATEUR Mazzy cutout bikini briefs

Flat sandals are essential, even if I am going somewhere cold I still bring sandals, because hotel pools are always warm and while I am holidays, pools, spas and saunas are must visits. TKEESLily Matte-Leather Sandals are so slim they are the Mac Book Air of the sandal world.

BB Cream: I can’t image travel without BB’s. They are moisturizing, packed with sun protection and has wonderful coverage, some even packed with anti aging ingredients. If you are lazy or just pushed for time/space TRY: DR. JART+Renewalist BB Beauty Balm.
