One of my favourite things about going on holiday -as cheesy as it is- is doing my nails. I love picking out a new colour and having a fresh coat that will last even after the holiday. Spool Me Over by Essie is a gorgeous pink. It’s not as bright as what I usually wear but this colour gets better as the days go on and the slightly faded look really compliments a tan.
Effacular Blur, La Roche-Posay (Makeup base)
Finding some sort of coverage whilst on holiday can be a bit tricky as you’re pretty much going to sweat everything off. One solution is to spend a lot of time prepping and baking to prevent it. But, who can really be asked to do that? I’ve been using Effacular Blur for a while now and it’s been great. The BB cream can also be used as an SPF (suncream alternative). Double whammy; as you get your coverage and your skin is protected from the sun. It can look a little dry at first -if you look really closely- but it soaks up those pesky oils throughout the day. Making you look better throughout the day, something you don’t get often. It has a light-weight mousey texture and is a perfect base for any look.
Sea You Later Floppy Hat, Accessorize (Fedora)
I feel like everyone should have a fedora/ floppy hat. They’re not only fashionable but practical too. (Protecting your scalp from the sun, etc) It’s hard to find the perfect one that fits right but when you do, it’s great. Inspired by Meghan Markle and Dakota Johnson, I had to add a fedora to my holiday wardrobe. This one by Accessorise is adorable with the little tassels along the writing, Sea you Later. Fedora’s are everywhere this year and you can find them in H&M, Zara and Primark. They also make extremely cute Instagram pictures.
How To Be An Overnight Success by Maria Hatzistefanis (Book)
What is a holiday without a book? Every holiday deserves a new book and my pick is How to be an Overnight Success by Maria Hatzistefanis, founder of luxury skincare brand Rodial and Nip + Fab. Maria takes you through all the steps in how to be a success in business and personal branding. I have been loving self-improvement books lately; anything that teaches you about you, about blogging, fashion, you name it. There’s so much to learn and not just about yourself. Some people enjoy escaping with a bit of fiction, but for the moment, I’m happy to add a little self-discovery to my holiday.
Tan Strappy Gladiator Sandals, New Look (Footwear)
There is always that one pair of sandals in your shoe collection that lasts for years and for me, it’s my New Look pair. Gladiator sandals are a summer wardrobe staple and having them in tan makes them extremely versatile. You’ll struggle to find something that doesn’t go with them. The last pair of tan sandals I bought from New Look lasted ages and I wore them everywhere, all summer long.
Those are my holiday essentials, what essentials are you taking away with you?

I love a good nude polish on my fingernails. It's simple, elegant and a colour that compliments every single outfit. And every single skin tone.
When it comes to the festive period, people generally shift towards darker colours. Choosing dark reds, purples, greens to keep in line with the festive colour palette. However, that doesn’t mean we have to leave the nudes outside.
The great thing about nude colours is that there are so many. The colours that come under the 'nudes' palette is browns, beiges, pastel pinks, whites, and light greys.
I’ve chosen my top 5 nail polishes that are perfect for the festive period:
1. Essie, Matter of Fiction- This pink has a slight sparkle to it, making it the perfect festive pink.
2. Barry M, Cashmere- Usually with such light pinks, they get darker after the second coat. However, this one keeps it's lightness, maintaining the barely there look.
3. Nails Inc, Cornwall Gardens- Grey used to be the colour that was avoided. Now it's not and instead, is a perfect colour to wear. Grey nail polishes nowadays contain warmer tones, meaning it is much more complimentary.
4. Barry M, Almond- It's slightly darker than the Nails Inc one but looks just as great in the cold outdoors.

5. Models Own, HyperGel Naked Glow- This shade is more of a beige colour and it's a gorgeous nude. Perfect for this time of year.
