If you are about to head off on holiday and want some last minute ideas for adapting your outfits from the Beach to the Restaurant, Café or Bar, I hope I can inspire you where to start looking. There are some stunning options out there to suit all tastes and budgets.
These outfits will also be ideal if you are on a cruise or in a hotel or holiday village, where you alternate between the beach and other activities throughout the day.
Monsoon have a gorgeous Gemima Print Jersey Dress at £70. This will also be useful to wear around the house at home, as the print is timeless and it is comfortable to wear even for dinner parties when you get back.
V by Very have a great wide leg Beach Jersey Jumpsuit at £30, which I adore as I am into wearing black this Summer, as it looks cool and chic, and this particular garment is worn with ease. You can fold it up and put it in your beach basket too and it will still come out looking good.
Warehouse Panel Maxi Dress in Ivory at £90 is another adaptable dress for Summer, as it is perfect for casual day or dressed up as more glamorous evening wear.
Simply Beach have a gorgeous Watercult Beach Kaftan in Pink Sand at £119.00 but they do have offers of discounts all the time, so you may be lucky. This is so adaptable and can even double up as a dressing gown. Just love the simplicity of it.
Hope I have got your fashion taste buds flowing to consider how you can travel canny and still look a million dollars.
If you suddenly have the urge to head off for a break which you haven’t yet planned, why not have an ‘adventure’ which could be the holiday of a lifetime.
You may feel restricted by pets or children, but that should not be an excuse for something a little bit ‘outside the box’, even if in this country. Have an adventure, not just a holiday.

We spotted a great one in Botswana, a country very close to the hearts of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle who reportedly fell in love in this romantic country. Check these out and see if it ticks any boxes for you.
Botswana is a vast, sparsely populated country, mostly desert but with the most prolific wetlands in Africa. Holidays in Botswana are thrilling, and it’s well worth the effort required to reach some of its more remote places. The reserves of Chobe, Savuti, the prolific Moremi and the unique Okavango Delta are sensational, both in the summer, for birds especially, and in the dry autumn, winter and spring months, for bigger game. It is the largest elephant corridor in the world and the herds along the Chobe River can number in their thousands. The Okavango is the biggest inland delta anywhere; paddling through its reed-lined channels in a Mokoro (dugout canoe), watching the pristine wilderness slip by, is a most memorable experience.

If you have any reservations at all for sending your beloved dog to be looked after when you are working, we have made the discovery of a lifetime.
Doggy Fun Daycare is the brainchild of Nic and Gary Worthington, who have recently relocated to Norfolk, and with a plethora of land and a world of ideas for a new business startup, but they decided to follow their passion and have set up the most exquisite day care centre for dogs.
As Nic says ‘I am amazed how quickly it has taken off considering how many people are doing it! I think the videos really help as I have some really great dogs that are the stars of these hilarious clips. I have benchmarked other doggy day care websites and there is no fun to them! I think it also helps that we have a bespoke fully enclosed play paddock for them to run free and be nutters! The Client’s are updated throughout the day with the clips via WhatsApp so that they are not fretting as I used to do when leaving Tilly. Anyone holidaying in Norfolk too can drop off their beloved dog’.
Nic was already the owner of Tilly, a beautiful black Labrador, who really is her ‘baby’ and was quite apprehensive at first when considering how she would be able to look after other dogs as well as her own. But decided to give it a try and the rest is history with dog owners driving from far and wide to experience her five star doggy fun daycare.
Nic not only looks after the dogs with constant care and attention, but she makes sure they are stimulated with games throughout the day, as you can see from some of her videos, which we have all found both heartwarming and hilarious.
Her husband Gary joins in as much as he can on his free days from a job he has with the NHS, and so there is no love spared as the dogs delight in dedicated loving care and attention.
It is definitely the ‘soul’ project of the animal loving couple. So much so that local dogs who have spent just a day or so in their care can’t wait to get back, and have been known to try to break through the gate when passing by with their owners.
Nic has now added an overnight facility for dogs to board, offering the dogs a home from home environment with soft beds and sofas galore and we would recommend that you put your name down early wherever you are based, as she is guaranteed to be fully booked as news gets out of her exclusive doggy daycare facility.
Reasons to choose:
Fully Licenced with North Norfolk Council
Home from Home Environment
24 Hour Supervision
Two Walks per day
Bespoke Fully Enclosed Play Paddock
Regular Photos and Videos throughout the day of your Dog via WhatsApp
