The summer staples according to i and f

Having a conversation with my best friend F that is about to go on a mini trip with her boyfriend in an island for a wedding, she realised she has nothing to wear.
I know this is exactly what all us girls say before a date, but sometimes it can actually be true.
F is deep in the corporate world and of course she has all the necessary dresses and suits to go with her austere business life.
She has very little romantic floaty and girly things to actually go with her minibreak-with-a-boyfriend-in the greek islands.

Truth be told, she doesnt like the "girly thing".
We did manage however to make a shopping list of summer staples.

1. White - 1 skirt, 1 pair of shorts, 1 pair of trousers.
2. Beige -same as above one of each. Be careful with the tone of beige you will choose depending on how fair or dark you are.
3. Navy blue trousers.
4. One "mariniere" top -striped JPG or Petit Bateau are the best in quality.
5. Jeans- one skirt and one pair of shorts be careful on the length of both depending on age and state of legs.
6. Traditional greek or St Tropez sandals (u know the ones). depending on how fat are your feet bones choose width of straps. NEVER without nailpolish unless ur Gisele.
7. one black bikini
8. lots of white tops preferably with a V.
9. Ref. jewellery u need gold-turquoise-coral-white stones. if you are tall and bigboned NEVER wear big chunky things close to your ears and neck u ll look ridiculous.
10.Bejewelled sandals -although one needs to be really careful with those they can look tacky.
11. espantrilles. preferably in black
12. an item in red and an item in fuschia pink -probably dresses or silk tops.
13.lovely huge sunglasses to cover all eye area - be really careful with cuts make sure that they suit ur face shape.
14. Hats.are.a.must.Again apart from the classi panama which is wonderful in other shapes rather than the now trendy one, try millions of hats before u find the one for you.
15. Sunscreen. Tanning in excess is as tacky as polyester shoes.and causes cancer.

hope it has helped a bit
enjoy ur holidays...xxxxx
