Wherever your "Club Tropicana" may be this year, here are some tried and tested "Summer Style Rules":
1. Do not sabotage - ditch the baggy shorts, unflattering swimsuit and shapeless fleece
2. Do not have items that will "do for holidays" - if they are not good enough for general consumption then they are not good enough full stop.
3. Cull the footwear - flip flops/gladiator sandals, wedges/dressier option and walking shoes are enough
4. Protect your hair as well as your skin - invest in some protection spray,leave-in conditioner and a hat
5. Ditch the foundation - it misbehaves in the hot weather. Tinted moisturiser with built in sunscreen is the way to go
6. Accessorize, accessorize, accessorize - bangles, bag, sunglasses and/or statement necklace all detract from a less than perfect beach body (believe me I know!)
7. Forget those "just in case" items. They will just weigh down your suitcase and make deciding what to wear harder.
8. Give yourself credit - notice all those "real" women around you on the beach. Acknowledge your "best bits" that you are grateful for. NO ONE is perfect so don't waste your time trying.
Be yourself, relax and have a great time!
