Cheryl Leung 10 Top Tips

High Summer July'10:

  1. If your clothes still smell of the barbeque next day, hang them up outside to air and spritz with an atomizer spray or a blend of essential oils. No need for laundry.
  2. Scrunch up your bikinis and swimwear and use them to pad out the crown of your sun hat and keep it in shape in your suitcase.
  3. Wear feminine, transparent layers in organza and chiffon for lighter-than-air summer dressing.
  4. Sandals and sling backs are either open-toed with beads and studding or nude and neutral.
  5. Digital prints adorn this season’s bikinis. Triangle or halter neck styles suit boyish figures.
  6. Pile on accessories including long beaded necklaces, resin or enamel bangles and chandelier earrings.
  7. Make sun protection fun with fifties sunglasses, coloured lenses and a big straw hat.
  8. Wear a printed Moroccan tunic as a beach cover-up or belted as a dress.
  9. Transform your outdoor space with a few blankets or throws and some outsized cushions for lounging on. Bring the Moroccan spirit back home.
  10. Along with the all-important wax, get your eyelashes tinted and your eyebrows shaped before your holiday. You’ll look your best on the beach without having to worry about make-up.
