"Regardless of where I'm heading, there are some clothes that come with me on every summer holiday, every year - like my favourite white ruffled dress by D&G. It's perfect for day or night, and it's super comfortable. I never want to wear anything restrictive on holiday - it's vacation!"
I know its a cliché on a sailing holiday, but Im a sucker for nautical stripes. Stripy shorts and Breton tops are a staple, especially long- sleeved styles it can get chilly when the sun goes down. Silk vest tops are another go-to. I buy them in bulk from Tibi in every colour. She revisits the same racer-back style every season and I adore the shape whenever I find anything I love, I stockpile!
I have a wardrobe of little sundresses picked up in local boutiques on my travels, such as this fun neon dress I found in Greece last year. Dayglo with a suntan is always a winner.
A cheats way to instant style? Winter or summer, youll never see my toes or fingers painted in anything other than variations of red. That in itself is a great accessory no matter what else I put on, I always feel properly dressed when my nails are done.
Lisa Marie Fernandezs wonderful wetsuit-style swimsuits are my latest discovery. This summer I intend to swim a lot, so to counteract the problem of constantly slipping bikinis, I multi-bought these one-pieces one in hyper-coloured florals, one plain black and one which is two-tone bronze and black. Theyre ideal for diving off the boat.
I love my Ella Moss black ruffled swimsuit (super chic, and it gives my frame curves) it's ideal for snorkelling. I also love Tomas Maier bikinis, which I partner with Paige denim cut-offs or Marie France Van Damme kaftans.

Switching sunglasses, belts or jewellery (Megan Park necklaces are a favourite) is a clever way of getting extra style mileage out of a dress a new accessory can make something youve already worn look new again.
For the most part I like to keep things simple, but I admit Im an accessories obsessive. I packed ten pairs of sunglasses with me for this trip (I like options!)
