Vacation Fashion

What to wear on the beach, how to organize your suitcase and standing out at the terminal... 

Gone are the days of looking shabby on holiday, instead try a dose of hippy luxe. Casual floaty separates with simple but statement accessories really make it on a summer vacation.

Make sure you plan your outfits in advance, and take items that go well with each other. Bring things that are individual, so you don't just look like another tourist with jeans, backpack and a camera.

Check the weather. Surely this goes without saying, but make sure you know how hot and how wet it will be on vacation, so that you are weatherproofed.

The gorgeous Liz of Late Afternoon looks stunning in this holiday perfect outfit. Relaxed, with a done yet undone look, these tapered trousers and white chiffon blouse really set the mood. But, to make sure she stays looking individual she's used a bright scarf belt, white clutch, retro sunglasses and gladiator heels.

Looking Stylish at the Airport

Don't jet off to the airport without thinking about your outfit. Start your vacation feeling confident and sexy by selecting some comfortable, but flattering separates. There's nothing worse than feeling uncomfortable on a flight, especially if you're in for the long haul.

What to Pack

There are some essential items, which you should not forget to take on holiday with you. Medication, sunglasses, a raincoat, earplugs and currency should be at the top of your list anywhere you go around the world.

Learn to pack by rolling each item, and don't leave it til the last minute. Take spare plastic bags, and bring spare batteries for your camera as well as an upload cable to post those pictures to Facebook before you head off home.

Sexy Swimwear

 Don't underestimate the power of good swimwear. A body loving swimming costume can give you the confidence to walk down the beach or past the lifeguard with total confidence.

Seek out a really flattering shape, and don't settle for second best. The internet has hundreds of bikinis just ready to be taken on vacation.

Hiking up Mountains

If you are going on a walking holiday, or you're in for a bit of mountain climbing, there's no need to look unstylish. Big lace up boots look great over some legwarmers and leggings. Pop on an oversized tshirt, lumberjack shirt and dark colored hoodie, for a fashion forward approach. And keep your head warm with a ribbed wool beanie.

Take a comfortable backpack and keep and eyeliner pencil close to hand, so your features really pop in the photos at the top of the mountain!
