In the past my least favourite part of travelling has always been packing and unpacking. Now I travel for a living and I’ve learnt a few handy tips and tricks along the way. In my hand luggage I always pack a bikini, it’s the one piece that is hard to find the perfect size and style when you’re abroad. Also if you’re on an early flight and your room isn’t ready yet, you can always catch a few rays by the pool, without having to unpack everything. Always keep a scarf/sarong with you too, they double up as blanket, bikini cover up, beach throw and towel. A tube, maxi dress is a great versatile piece, it looks chic by the pool during the day and can be dressed up for a glamourous night out.

I love the UGG espadrille styles as they are fun, stylish and elegant. The luxury pony skin, silk ties and woven heels mean they are appropriate for both day and night.
