Holiday Hot Picks

There’s nothing like unpredictable British weather to make you crave a holiday in the sun! The recent downpours have seen many of us reaching for the suitcase as we book that last minute getaway. Despite the grey skies, the shops are full of summery clothes, luggage and accessories - making your holiday wardrobe shopping spree a doddle. Take a look at my hot picks from around the Centre, from left to right: Kaftan £32 Accessorize, Peep toe wedges £85 Dune, Necklace £8 River Island, Swimsuit £56 Biba at House of Fraser, Hard shell suitcase £49.99 TK Maxx.

Top Tips for Packing
1. Lay out your holiday items on the bed before you pack and ensure you’ve not over packed – stick to your favourites and the clothes you feel best in.

2. Put heavy items (shoes, hairdryer, etc.) on the bottom of your case/bag and store in laundry bags.

3. Lay out delicate, easy-crease fabrics at the top of the case and protect with softer fabrics like cotton or cashmere on top. You can also use laundry bags to protect them from possible snagging.

4. Take your best jewellery with you on the flight, there’s less risk of it going amiss and at least you will look glam should your luggage go astray!
