Let’s play a game. Pretend you can escape the daily humdrum of life for a few days, pack a bag and fly off somewhere of your choosing – where would you go? And what would you wear when you get there?
Earlier this week as I sat looking at yet more melting snow, feeling frankly uninspired by the grey tinge to everything, including my pallor, I started playing the daydream vacation game in my head. Here’s where I went…
Back to our honeymoon destination of some nine years ago – the Conrad Maldives, Rangali Island. Where the only thing you had to worry about was which cocktail to try at happy hour, which side of the sand strip island provided the best view of the sunset or what time you might eventually wander along for dinner.
And here’s what I would pack if I got the chance to go back again…
1. Reed Krakoff metallic luggage tag 2. Lanvin two tone bandeau swimsuit 3. Mara Hoffman Frida jersey kaftan 4. Michael Kors Santorini woven shopper 5. Victoria Beckham Aviator-style sunglasses 6. Dior Vernis nail polish in Lucky 7. Acne Marnay draped chiffon maxi dress 8. K Jacques St Tropez sandals 9. Clinique Chubby Stick Intense in Roomiest Rose
What would be your idea of the perfect dream escape right now and what would you take with you?
I love this post and I would happily buy everything in your fantasy shopping basket! Of course the answer has to be Italy! It’s fair to say that I dream of going here, http://www.coppolaresorts.com/palazzomargherita ,rather a lot! I would be happy to head off in any J Crew (love their beach cover-ups) and one of their panamas would be perfect I think! xxx
Oh God, love the destination AND the clothes, the dress+sandals+bag+sunglasses = sheer perfection. I’m allready making mental packing lists for my holidays, which are 4 months away! x
I’ve been lucky enough to go to the Maldives as well and it is probably my second favourite destination for a beach holiday but if I could go anywhere I would go back to The Seychelles, absolutely stunning islands. Love the Lanvin swimsuit! X
Bali would be very nice but to be honest anywhere that’s warmer than here would be well received.
70% of my wardrobe consists of summer dresses so I’m well kitted out! My dream outfit would probably be a floaty Matthew Williamson dress, i’m not fussy which one, i’ve never seen a bad MW piece.
