Thank you random i-Tunes player for selecting that Jet track whilst I was checking in online for my five day break in Ibiza. So now I've got the boring bit out of the way, I can start to think about a suitable capsule wardrobe to pack in my measly 15 kilo bag allowance. On my wish list (and at over £900 it is just a wish for me) is a Celine shopper bag. Just the right size to take on as hand luggage and still roomy enough for another pair of ridiculously high heels that wouldn't quite fit in the hold luggage. It's casually styled too and would look a treat poolside holding sunscreens, hats, books and magazines. It also comes 
with a handy leather purse, perfect for throwing your hotel keys and euros into. When it comes to holiday trend directions, this season it's all about The Gypset or Bobo's (Bourgeois Bohemians). Think Talitha Getty's summer looks of the late sixties, all floaty and h
ippy. A photograph of her walking down a Roman street wearing a simple white shift, japanese kimono and thigh length gladiator sandals sums it up nicely. A vintage kimono gives maximum holiday mileage as a bikini cover-up or belted to make a dress and do like Talitha and wear over an evening outfit to fend off the cool night air. It's always a good idea to overpack a little on accessories. Jewellery, hats and scarves can really transform a simple outfit into a statement look. A light, good sized scarf with a neutral coloured pattern or print can be used in a multitude of ways as we know from the Hermes demonstrations held regularly in the department stores that sell them. So here's a little challenge for all you in-store scarf demonstrators. How about showing us how to create this seasons hot headwear style The Turban? Go on ladies, I dare you.Pictures: Top right - Celine bag
