Holiday headaches

In precisely 13 days, a task awaits me that can only be described as quite frankly impossible, a problem that has relentlessly plagued females across the globe for decades, a challenge that has claimed the sanity of many a victim across the summer period. That's right ladies, it's the season of the 10kg baggage restriction. Deep breaths people. Whilst the thoughts of basking in the delicious heat of the Spanish sun or wasting away afternoons in delightful tavernas with a Mojito glued to my right hand serves only to heighten my excitement, I have a constant niggling reminder that I very well may be doing all of the above naked. Or worse, in the same outfit. But here at SWT, we've done our best to compile a few key elements for the perfect capsule holiday wardrobe to conquer this almighty feat. (First world problems, eh...)

Okay, we figured we'd tackle the issue in two chunks, the first of which being daytime wear. The perfect poolside piece is undoubtedly the kaftan or tunic dress, which can quite easily be teamed with a pair of skinnies and wedges and voila- you could be walking the streets of Barcelona. With a wide range on offer at SWT, why not try on for size our gorgeous, dragonfly print Monroe Tunic? The loose fit and soft nude tones ooze bohemian chic and it's 100% silk so will look and feel fab. Or take advantage of one of our stunning sale items such as our green silk beauty with embellished neckline. What ever tickles your fancy, only pack a couple! Okay, maybe three.

In the evening, there's nothing like a maxi dress to inject a bit of glamour into your wardrobe, and it means you're outfit's sorted from head to toe! Well, ankle. Our gorgeous, floral beauty is bang on trend this season, and the stretch material ensures that it doesn't crease and can be easily packed. The vibrant print and halter neck shape radiates glamour and wouldn't look amiss wherever you're jetting off to. Alternatively, our pure silk dragonfly maxi comes in coral, aqua and will soon be available in black to set off your holiday tan.

If the maxi doesn't do it for you, a staple evening top could do the trick. This green and lilac fern print top is a stunning piece that would look great over a pair of white jeans for miami chic. If bright colours are your thing, our multi coloured print beauty will suit all body types with it's effortless loose shaping. Or if you fancy a bit of bling, our lime green chiffon tunic with beaded embellishments will be sure to dazzle, and the colouring is huge for SS13.

Now we're not super human, so we're leaving accessories and swimwear down to you, but we leave you under strict instruction that you must NOT pack 10 pairs of sandals or two bikinis per day. Top tip, your hand luggage can take another 5kg. Or alternatively hunt down the elusive breed of light-packing friends and cram the rest into their case. Sharing is caring after all. We wish you the best of luck, and fingers crossed I'll make it out to Gran Canaria fully armed with a well packed, thought out 10kg case. Here's hoping...
