Not everyone’s essential of essentials perhaps, but these are the things I can’t live without on a sun and sand holiday…

A giant beach bag… because these days I need more than just a couple of towels, we’re talking bucket and spade, emergency snacks, many different types of sun cream, extra clothes just in case etc, etc. Might as well carry it all in style!
Beautifully cool shades… No explaining needed really. Loving the 70s style of these ones plus they’re unisex which is useful for sharing. Although I probably wouldn’t share these ones #sorrynotsorry
Back-up espadrilles… Because although I’m living in my Birkis as per, it’s nice to have something else to slip into in the evening should whimsy dictate.
Travel sized body wash and cream… Because using something natural and lovely smelling makes me feel put-together and in control of life. Ok, just me then…
iPad mini…I am completely in love with the mini, I much prefer the screen size, it fits me just right. And my new case is by Caseable with whom I have something exciting in the works… This is one of my photographs on the cover, do you like?
White dress… It feels so wonderfully refreshing to slip into something white after a day at the beach. All showered and ready for a relaxed evening supper til your eyes are drooping with tiredness from all the fresh air.
