Holiday Essentials

If you are lucky enough to be jetting off on holiday this year - whether you already have booked it and are counting down the days, or are still planning when and where to go - you have probably already started prepping your holiday wardrobe. With luggage limitations restricting how much we can take, strategically ensuring we still end up looking our summer best becomes the key priority when packing. It isn’t necessary to pack your entire jewellery box; with just three core pieces you can accessorise all your holiday looks, without compromising on style or suitcase space.

Bracelets and bangles are a sure fire way to give your holiday look a fashion forward finish. Perfect for everyday, you can wear alone or stack them up and mix and match to create a combination of styles that will complement any outfit. Tortoiseshell effect sunglasses are a summer essential this year, and Michael Kors has taken this current trend and transformed it into a new summer favourite… Tortoiseshell effect jewellery! Go for poolside glamour with this chic gold-plated tortoiseshell effect bangle, an oversized bag and, of course, matching sunglasses. Alternatively, layer with sparkling bracelets to achieve an elegant evening twist.

A key piece that you can wear everyday and will take you right through to the evenings is a chunky watch. It’s a versatile accessory that is sure to give any of your holiday outfits a stylish finish, and this Champagne Gold-Plated Watch from Marc Jacobs is the perfect example. Classic and simple but sporting a bold design, this timepiece will give any outfit a fashionable edge, whilst its sun-kissed yellow gold tone will complement your tan perfectly.

We all like to make a statement now and again, so why not pack one show stopping piece that’s guaranteed to get noticed.  This glistening Nirvana necklace from Swarovski speaks for itself and will add a glamorous finishing touch to your evening look. The sleek silver tone chain knots around a stylish ring of faceted Swarovski crystal, its shimmering light turquoise hue reminiscent of clear blue oceans. With a simple design so as not to take away from the radiance and sparkle of the pendant, this necklace is perfect as a dash of daytime glamour or evening elegance.
