Holiday Shopping 7 Holiday Essentials When it comes to that holiday, there are certain things you need to ensure your time away is a fun one and we’ve come up with a list of essentials that definitely need to go in your case! Smart sunnies It’s going to be bright, so you need to protect those peepers with a good looking pair of sunglasses. Cat eye sunglasses are popular this season, as they elongate the face and hide any remains of that cheeky holiday hangover you might be nursing in the morning by the pool.   Edible looking pool floats These things are all the rage at the moment, and available in multiple online stores. Created by Big Mouth, you can choose from a giant slice of pizza to float on in the pool or an enormous strawberry doughnut. Perfect if you fancy adding a bit of novelty fun to your poolside essentials.   Cover up You’re going to need something to throw on when you head to the pool bar for another drink or when you eventually head back up to the room for a shower in the afternoon. Therefore, a cover up is essential. It could be something as lightweight as a sarong that can be draped over you or a long maxi dress that is smart enough to wear at breakfast.   A daring swimsuit Once you’ve perfected that tan on the first few days, it’s time to pull out the fancier bikinis. We’re talking fringed, cut out, sheer â€" all of these are available to purchase now and great for posing by the pool. High-waist styles are still popular and some high street stores are also listening to consumers and selling boy short styles that are flattering for those of us who like to keep our tummies tucked away. Evening dress The holiday evening dress is usually that mix between casual and relatively formal. It should be lightweight, comfortable and show off that golden tan. A bold floral print is a popular choice as it reminds the wearer of all things tropical, or you can’t go wrong with black in a Bardot style.

Sturdy beach bag Forget the canvas bag, you need something that’s going to withstand water splashes, potential exploding sun cream and is structured enough so everything you throw in is easy to find. A Ted Baker shopper bag should do the trick and it also means you have the perfect opportunity to treat yourself. Wide brimmed hat Perfect for when someone pinches your umbrella when you go to get ice cream, a wide brimmed hat should shade your face and shoulders if it’s big enough.
