Every seasoned traveller knows the hardships that come with packing light.
Do you compromise the second pair of heels for a sensible flat? Hope that your pre-holiday blowout lasts long enough to not need your hair dryer or just pray that your friend packs enough ensembles and sunglasses for the both of you.
Whether you've planned a weekend getaway to somewhere sandy and sunny, a week-long festival with your besties or a romantic day trip to the City of Love, we've got your carry-on luggage essentials sorted...
A Chic Weekend Away
Nothing screams a romantic weekend trip away quite like a selection of designer goodies. The trick to elevating any ensemble is with a set of luxury accessories so be sure to back your favourite watch, sunglasses and a sultry red lipstick.
A Trip With the Girls

Just because you're exploring a new city with your nearest and dearest, it doesn't mean you need to compromise on stylish footwear. The trick to packing a bag for a girl's holiday is to ensure that each item can be borrowed, interchanged and used by everyone on the trip.
A Far Away Festival

We all know that summer festivals are the real fashion runway. Cowboy boots in bold colours are a must while accenting pops of colour, a cross-body bag, suncream and a backup of paracetamol.
A Beachside Escape

When it comes to beachside essentials there are only a few necessities that come to mind. A bikini with removable straps to fight awkward tan lines, glow drops for a bronzy shimmer, comfortable sandals to go with every outfit, a Kindle filled with your favourite books and ample amounts of sunscreen.
