Have a look in Anna's suitcase....

1. Chambray dress by Acne, now £168,  that can be kept minimal for day or dressed up with bold accessories for evening.  

2. and 4. Statement jewellery that can instantly change the look of your outfit, Rosantica beads £299, Aamya by Priyanka Stacking Rings £159 

 3. Hanky Panky knickers in chai are the perfect colour to wear under all your white holiday pieces.

 5. Tucker dresses are not only great for packing as they barely crease but also perfect to travel in! Throw on a cashmere cardi, tights and ballet pumps if its freezing on your way out and then on the other side, strip back down to your dress and whip out your flip flops! 

6. and 10. Don't even try and pack loads of shoes as you always end up wearing the same pairs. Pack one wedge or heel in a neutral colour that will go with everything, one pair of beach flip flops and one pair of flat sandals.

7. Pack all your toiletries in this Anya Hindmarch washbag and store your suncreams in here at the beach. 

8 and 11.   A printed scarf can dress up a plain maxi dress

9. This Thursday Friday tote bag is great for the beach.

1. Always plan your outfits before you leave to avoid overpacking! Choose a few accessories and no more than two footwear options that you can mix and match with your chosen looks. Always try and think about changing your outfit or look with accessories rather than clothes. 

2. The first thing you should pack is your footwear as this takes up the most room. Place your beach towel over the top to protect your garments.

3. Pack all your toiletries in a nylon washbag in the middle layers of your suitcase so they are protected from smashing and leaking.

4. Pack all your jewellery in your clutch bag to avoid anything catching your garments. 

5. On the top layer neatly fold all your garments and then fill pockets and any small gaps with swimwear and underwear.
