Grrr, just lost a huge post. I will try to do it again but obviously it's not going to be as fabulously witty as my first effort. You will need to use your imagination!
Must first register enormous jealousy (a) at honeymoon in Maldives
and (b) size 8
. Lucky thing!
I have gone for a soft/neutral palette as I think that is probably good for your colouring? Might have spent a bit too much when I got carried away...
I would take:
Swimwear
Assuming flat tummy (
) and perky boobs (
) a few fab bikinis. I like this Heidi Klein number and it's in the sale.
Or a lovely swimsuit: Anthropologie one-piece
To and from the beach
A kaftan or two (but I don't find them particularly useful in the UK, so maybe not two...). Like:
Reiss kaftan - good colour on an Autumn palette.
FC kaftan
And a cardie like this one from Anthropologie for slinging on, on top of your bikini.
Separates
An easy pair of shorts. I have these and you will probably need to size down, they are generous but very easy to wear.
Classic linen trews like these from the White Company. Use SPG10 for 20% off. It would be worth having them shortened before you go. To be worn with simple vest tops and long necklaces.
A breton to go with trews and shorts, something like this from Monsoon.
Dresses
I live in dresses on hols, so tend to overpack on this front but I think you'll need at least a couple assuming you plan to leave the bedroom
.
This FC maxidress is pretty.
This blue IO dress is sexy and would look great with a tan. Needs the belt though.
And this is pretty as a picture. Again needs a belt, as styled in some of the MW pictures.
Accessories
Other than what you wear in the airport, I'd go for a pair of neutral wedges and a pair of flat sandals. Like:
These pretty Sam Edelman flats
and
Mint Velvet wedges.
Am going to run now before DS deletes I lose this post too.
Have fun!
