It seems like everyone has caught the travel bug with our instagram feeds filled with snaps from all across the world, a particularly popular place to travel to escape the cold is Europe. So if you have “best places to travel to in europe” in your search history, we’re here to help you pack for your next getaway that will perfectly match your aesthetic. Even if you aren’t traveling this summer season, these looks will for sure make you feel like you’ve transported somewhere new. 

Greek islands, Beach Glam 


Salty hair, sandy skin and that European tan. We all love a sun-kissed glow, however if you are taking on the Greek islands this summer, it's still important to keep your skin protected and healthy which is why we recommend the Naked Sundays Hydrating Glow Mist. This SPF wont leave your skin feeling sticky and is that perfect extra glow you want that can either be applied over or under your makeup. 

Where surf meets turf, this cowboy hat from Lack of Colour is the perfect addition to take you from tourist to travel influencer. 

Finally, it wouldn't be a true beach getaway without a cute sundress paired with a bright bikini, and with this Charlee Swim set you’ll look like you belong in the Mamma Mia movie, whilst supporting a small and sustainable business. 

Paris, Effortless Romantic


Are you happy to be in Paris? Oui. The ultimate Parisian look screams: classic, romantic and Gossip Girl’s Blair Waldorf. This summer as you explore the cobblestone streets of Paris try out this ultimate dream girl look that will have everyone saying “ooh la la”. Match a classic pair of denim jeans with a flirty blouse for the modern day, girly version of James Dean and white t-shirt. A dainty piece of gold jewelry is the perfect touch of class, and this necklace from By Charlotte has lived on our feeds for the past couple months. Diamonds may be a girl's best friend but we will always choose a delicate piece of jewelry like this anyday. 

Break up this sweet look with a bold red lip to add some drama into your look, and Mac is not one to disappoint. With a variety of different shades of red there will be one to suit any skin tone that you’ll continue to use even after your summer getaway is over. 

At the end of every party, all the best presents are tied up with a bow, so finish off your look with a half up half down hairstyle swept into a ribbon tied into a bow for a youthful look with the perfect amount of Parisian chic. 

Ibiza, Beach to Bar 


No sleep, bus, club, another club, another club, plane. Ibiza is your next party destination, we have built you the perfect outfit to go from beach club to night club. Be the star of your very own reality tv show with this Rat and Boa dress and watch while heads turn. Nothing screams “it girl”more than an oversized pair of sunglasses and the Quay Jezabels are a classic we always come back to after all the different sunglasses trends come and go. 

Live your best Kim Kardashian life with a pair of chunky acrylic heels that will not only elegonate your legs but will be comfortable for you to dance the day and night away. And to make a lasting impression spray on the Maison Margiela Beach Walk perfume, that’ll make you smell like the perfect summer’s day. 

 Italy, Casual Luxury


We will forever be obsessed with Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber's model-off-duty looks, and if we can look even half as good as them, we’ll be thankful! Our next stop on this europe tour is in Italy where you can show off all those effortless “i didn't try but i really did” looks, you may know this as the Tik Tok “clean girl trend”. This neutral colour palette style is the perfect outfit to explore all the best pasta and art this country has to offer. Regardless if you're  on holiday or not, a classic white button up is a must! Find one from almost any store, we recommend checking out Vintage Sole. A white tank top and neutral dress pants are a necessity if you want to build a capsule wardrobe, and with the easy ability to be styled up or down, this is the perfect combo to pack into your suitcase. 

Pull back your hair with a claw clip and add some chunk gold jewelry like these The Littl hoops and you’ll blend into the italian it-crowd as you make your way through touring the city marveling at its language, opera, fashion and renaissance architecture. 

Berlin, Vintage Cool 


Finally we arrive at Berlin and it's time to embrace all the coolest street style trends. Where industrial meets femininity, pair these Dr Martens with some girly ankle socks from Princess Polly to achieve that ultimate edgy look.  

When it comes to wanting to look like the ultimate cool girl, TikTok is our number one source of inspiration, and feeds have been filled with girls and guys adding a new twist to the traditional preppy style. With this vest from Peppermayo paired with any kind of pleated skirt you’ll have the ultimate “too cool for school look”.

We can all agree that one of the most important parts of any trip is getting that perfect photo, and as film cameras are once again becoming popular, we have been taking it with us everywhere we go! So this 35MM reusable film camera has been our favourite travel buddy and is the perfect accessory to bring as you explore the many museums and other sites that Berlin has to offer! Take your pics on holiday and once you come back home and get them developed and relive all your summer memories! Carry your film camera within the Oroton Lilou Mini Day bag, don’t be fooled, this bag may seem small but it can hold everything you need whilst looking so cute sitting on your shoulder!
