The Holiday Edit.

The Olympics are done and its time for a family holiday run. Its August, which means EVERYONE is getting away! Staycation, vacation, spa session, we are all in lazy motion. The calm before the almighty storm of Fashion Week and back to school. Whether it be to the country side, the city or on a Safari, make sure you get away; let your hair down, stop and smell the roses…yada, yada, yada. Let’s tackle the necessary shall we.
For the road to the airport;
Let’s get one thing straight; we can’t all be Victoria “Posh Spice” Beckham, chances are we won’t all be flying first class on a private jet for that matter too, so heels are a waste of time. More than likely someone will be running late for their flight so you will have to leg it down the terminal. You need your most sensible shoes. K? Good. We want to keep this look simple and easy, fuss free and very much on the go. Key to this look is the Schlep and go bag; dump in everything and just go. No fuss no frills and it’ll take your whole life with you.

The Maxi is a Must for any holiday, no matter the location nothing beats a maxi to potter around town or zhoosh up for a glamourous night, a maxi works perfectly.
