If you’re off somewhere sunny, there’s not a whole lot you need, bar a few key pieces.?We have come up with some essential pieces you should pack to get you through a week in a warm dreamy destination.?Add to this just one pair of statement heels or your favourite ‘night out’ dress and you’ll be ready to rock.

High Waisted Jeans,??47.94, Asos
A pair of jeans is always handy, for those cooler evenings but also for that one grey day you may get on your getaway (it might not happen – hopefully – but better safe than sorry). These jeans are so fab, you’d want to take them everywhere with you.
Leather Sandals,??30.14, Asos
Be sure to have a comfortable pair of sandals for sight seeing and walking around, you don’t want to be getting sore feet. When on holidays we end up walking much more than anticipated. But do slip a comfortable pair of flip-flops in for that walk to the beach, pool or supermarket.

Remember to pack a little cardigan for those cooler nights.
bandeau bikini set,??145, Pain De Sucre
Swimsuits are essential for a holiday, you never know which one to pick, but don’t take too many of them with you, otherwise you will end up with all different tan lines – oh dear.
Oversized Floral Tunic,??99.66, on sale at??27.64, Free People
An oversized tunic? Because it’s adorable, also because it’s handy to have something to throw on when you nip to the pool or the beach.
Straw Fedora Hat,??24.66, Asos
A hat is a must have to stay safe in the sun. And don’t forget your sun screen!
When it comes to packing for your make-up essentials, a good hack is to go around to duty free after security in the airport and get a travel kit of your essentials. If you’re going where it’s warm, you’re not going to want to wear too much make-up that will do nothing more than melt off your face.
