Viewing a sunset in Capri is a definite for the bucket list. Imagine the feeling you would have after a day spent exploring Capri’s picturesque streets, swimming in the crystal-clear waters, and indulging in the Italian cuisine. There would be nothing quite like watching the sun dip below the horizon while sipping on the traditional Italian pre-dinner Aperol Spritz, and this is what you are wearing:

Or how about taking a road trip along the Amalfi Coast? With the wind in your hair, taking in the beauty of the steep cliffs, the picturesque views of the Mediterranean Sea and the vibrant colours of the towns and villages along the way. The smell of fresh lemons and salty air and this is what you are wearing:

Or perhaps you are relaxing poolside in a luxurious resort on the French Riviera. Gazing out at the yachts under your big straw hat, sipping on your margarita. There is no other place you would rather be. Wrapped in a sarong with your sun kissed cheeks beside your big straw tote, you are the most relaxed you have ever been. This is what you are wearing:

Next stop, Paris! As you wonder through the charming streets admiring the quaint little neighbourhoods, you heart feels at home. You stop at your favourite cafe and order a croissant and coffee as you listen to the hustle and bustle of the locals and this is what you are wearing:

One last stop to one of the greek islands. As you wonder down the narrow cobbled stone streets of Santorini, all you can see is white-washed building with their blue roofs. You come to a street filled with restaurants and cafes where you stop for a bite to eat. Then you meander down to a small marina and step on to your boat, and this is what you are wearing:
