Describe Marbella in three words?

Marbella is fun, glamorous and vibrant!  


For anyone who hasn’t been to Marbella, why should they visit? 

There is a holiday for everyone in Marbella. Beach lovers, mountain climbers, foodies, night owls - it’s very diverse here! 


Can you recommend your favourite place to stay?

Boho Club is so chic!


And where should we head for a spot of lunch?

Trocadero Playa, especially on a Sunday! 


We love a chilled holiday, but what about activities? What do you get up to? 

We love cycling here! Rent bikes or e-scooters and go between Marbella old town and Puerto Banus!

A lot of us are heading abroad for the first time in a while. Can you give us 3 packing tips? 

Pack versatile items that can work day to night like a great crochet dress. 

Plan your outfits in advance, so you only bring what you need and can save space! 

Don’t forget some fun accessories - this summer I’m loving bucket hats! 


What’s your go-to outfit for a beach day? 

I love a beach co-ord over a bikini, paired with a big hat, sunglasses and some cute sandals! 


And what about for the evening? 

Any excuse to wear a beautiful dress, this summer I love sequins and anything sparkly!


Name 5 essentials you packed for your summer holiday you couldn’t live without.

A straw bucket hat 

Cat eye black sunglasses 

A pair of chunky dad sandals I can wear day or night 

A big straw basket to throw everything into for the beach or pool

A pair of white strappy heels that I can wear with nearly all my evening looks!

What’s the top song on your holiday playlist? 

I’m loving Drake’s new song Massive!


How do you pick the perfect swimwear? 

Something that makes me feel confident and most importantly that I’m comfortable in. I love to play with colour in my swimwear wardrobe.


What’s the secret to summer confidence? 

Embrace the real you, whatever that looks like. Confidence breeds happiness!


It’s not a holiday without a cocktail, what’s your favourite? 

Always a margarita, extra spicy! 


Let’s talk beauty: what are your 3 holiday must haves?

A great facial SPF, a multipurpose oil I can use on my hair and body and a brow gel I can rely on for those no makeup days!

Describe LA in three words?

Exhilarating, Sunny & Happy. 


Can you recommend your favourite place to stay? 

There’s so many incredible places to stay and not sure I can name just one but I did just stay at the Hotel Figueroa in downtown which I was pleasantly surprised at. It’s not my usual location as I like being beachside BUT they’ve recently renovated it, the rooms were spacious, breakfast was incredible (highly recommend the breakfast burrito) as were the staff. I did a lot of research before my trip and also came up with a pretty good deal so I’d go back and stay in a heartbeat. 


And where should we head for a spot of lunch? 

I recently discovered Elephante in Santa Monica and the views of SM beach are incredible. Food is *chefs kisses* as are the espresso martini’s but book ahead because it gets booked pretty far in advance. The aesthetic is very Santa Monica meets Tulum vibes .

We love a chilled holiday, but what about activities? What do you get up to in LA?

Shopping (obviously), ha! I love Glendale for shopping or The Grove is very cliche LA, but great all the same. LA has incredible views though so Runyon Canyon is always a good shout should you want a hike and to experience the outdoors of Cali. I also love heading to Malibu along the Pacific Highway. It’s a stunning drive and Malibu is beautiful for beaches. I highly recommend hitting Malibu farm on the boardwalk for lunch and trying one of their incredible Mimosa’s - Kale/Apple and Watermelon are beaut. 


A lot of us are heading abroad for the first time in a while. Can you give us 3 packing tips? 

Packing Cubes have been a game changer for me! It’s helped me separate everything I need and if you end up moving around during your trip like I did them it keeps things organised. I always shop in LA quite a bit so I factor in additional luggage for my return, so buy ahead with your airline to save £. Finally, bring items that are versatile and can be worn multiple ways to save room in your case and weight limitations. My River Island linen trousers can be worn around the pool/at the beach over a bikini but also with a pair of chunky sandals and crop top for dinner in Los Feliz.

Describe Mykonos in three words? 

Beautiful, Vibrant, Wild & Windy  


For anyone who hasn’t been to Mykonos, why should they visit?  

Mykonos should be on everyone’s bucket list to visit at least once. Every single corner of the island is so beautifully picturesque. The beach clubs are possibly the most beautiful I have ever seen! You also can’t leave without a visit to Lio! It was one of the best shows I have ever seen, one of my highlights for sure! 


Can you recommend your favourite place to stay?  

Anywhere is Mykonos Town is a perfect location. I have stayed in My Mykonos which is so aesthetically perfect. And also, Ilo Maris hotel which has the most incredible sunset views.  


And where should we head for a spot of lunch?  

Scorpios is definitely the place to go for lunch, beautiful fresh seafood and incredible views of the sea.  


We love a chilled holiday, but what about activities? What do you get up to in Mykonos?  

As it was my Hen Party it wasn’t exactly a chilled holiday.  We spent our days at the most incredible Beach club's. Principote is incredible, great food. Great vibes and amazing music.  You could certainly stay here all day and all night. 

A lot of us are heading abroad for the first time in a while. Can you give us 3 packing tips? 

Bring an extension lead so you only need one travel plug!

Don’t forget your SPF.  

Pack everything in outfits. I hang each individual outfit onto the same hanger and put them into my suitcase like this. Then once I arrive, I hang them all up. Everyday then I know exactly what I’m wearing, and nothing needs to be ironed! Genius.


What’s your go-to outfit for a beach day? 

I adore a high leg swimsuit, or a high leg bikini, as it makes my legs look longer. I like to style this with an oversized beach shirt or kimono and I always accessorise with gold jewellery and some shades.


And what about for the evening?

It depends where we are going but I like to go glam for the evening time. You can never be too overdressed in my opinion!


How do you pick the perfect swimwear? 

For me it has to be something with a high leg, this makes me feel my best and most confident. Also, never be afraid to go up a size or two in clothes. Wear whatever makes you feel comfortable and feel your best! 

What’s the secret to summer confidence? 

For me confidence comes from how we speak to ourselves every day. Speak to yourself exactly how you would speak to your best friend or somebody who you love and adore.


It’s not a holiday without a cocktail, what’s your favourite? 

Mojito, all day long.. 


Let’s talk beauty: what are your 3 holiday must haves? 

SPF, cream blush (can be used on eyes, cheeks & lips), a gorgeous body oil.

Describe Jamaica in three words? 

Home, Vibrant, Soulful.


For anyone who hasn’t been to Jamaica, why should they visit?
It is a small island with so much to give - food, music, beautiful beaches and the people are so welcoming. Its home away from home!


Can you recommend your favourite place to stay?
Royalton Blue Waters.


And where should we head for a spot of lunch?
The resort has 8 restaurants so you don’t have to move much for food, but if you go outside head to PIER1 or find a local jerk hut!


We love a chilled holiday, but what about activities? What do you get up to in Jamaica?
CHUKKA ACTIVITIES have got you covered. I did Bamboo rafting, jet skis, horse riding and quad biking.

A lot of us are heading abroad for the first time in a while. Can you give us 3 packing tips?

Packing tips are don’t over do it, you just need swimwear and a couple of night outfits.

Travel organisers are great you know where everything is!

I get dehydrated, so get some hydration tablets you can put into your water.


What’s your go-to outfit for a beach day?
Cute bikini with a dress or a kimono over it and sandals.


And what about for the evening? 
I am huge fan of maxi dresses on holiday and the brighter the better show off my tan.


Name 5 essentials you packed for your summer holiday you couldn’t live without.
SPF, adaptor lead, hair products, lip balm, bikinis.


How do you pick the perfect swimwear?
How much coverage it will have for my boobs, if I can mix and match and comfort!

What’s the secret to summer confidence?

There is no secret, own that body… I went Jamaica and my body confidence was restored! Curves are celebrated there!


It’s not a holiday without a cocktail, what’s your favourite?

RUM PUNCH!!!!!!!
