How The SL ME Team Are Spending Their Summer

My summer’s shaping up to be a busy one – in the best way. I kicked things off in Marbella for my cousin’s wedding, then headed to London for the SheerLuxe x Bicester Village collaboration — a real full-circle moment since I did my master’s there. Next up: Paris for some Disney fun, and hopefully Cannes if I can squeeze it in. This year's vibe is a blend of beach and city, the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure.

I’m a planner at heart, but I always leave space for spontaneity — those unexpected moments are usually the most memorable. In Paris, I’m finally ticking off the Centre Pompidou and digging through vintage shops for hidden gems. In London, I’m planning a West End show and some quality time thrifting. Marbella was all about the charm of the Marbella Club, and in London, I’ll be staying with my cousin and her dogs – the ultimate reset.

I plan outfits by destination. This season, I’m packing The Frankie Shop for cool summer staples, Jacquemus for bold pieces, Mango for basics, and  By Far for sandals and bags. I’m also bringing my  Rizzo Green Paisley Smoking Suit from It’s 9pm and my new Miu Miu summer bag. 

I never travel without my Dyson Zone headphones, Dyson Airwrap, Aesop Departure Kit, a COS white poplin shirt and tailored black trousers from Good American. Skincare-wise, I’ve just started using Augustinus Bader’s The Rich Cream and I love it. I’ll also be taking the Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask and Saie’s Glowy Super Gel.

This summer is all about celebrating love. I’ll be in Lebanon for a friend’s wedding, then off to Jordan for Talar’s, before heading back to Lebanon in August for another. The energy is a mix: each wedding is outdoors and surrounded by nature, and in Lebanon I’ll be splitting my time between the city, coast and mountains with close friends. I’m usually a meticulous planner – I like to map out the restaurants, hidden gems and must-do experiences so I can relax in the moment – but in Lebanon, I’ll be following my friends’ lead.

In Jordan, Talar’s curated a beautiful itinerary for her guests, with stops at the Amman Citadel, Jordan Folklore Museum, The Roman Theatre, Rainbow Street and Al Masara Boutique. I’m all about boutique hotels and unique Airbnbs that reflect the local aesthetic – the more character, the better. I’m also hoping to squeeze in a quick European escape – Greece, Italy or Spain are all on the cards.

Because of the weddings, I’ve packed looks from Deme by Gabriella and Norma Kamali. Day-to-day, it’s breezy sets and linen pieces from DISSH, H&M and Baobab – easy to mix and match but still feel considered. In my suitcase: the GHD  Curve Creative Curl Wand, AirPods Max, a good book and a make-up bag with all the essentials. My go-to beauty products this summer are Coola sunscreen, Beauty Of Joseon moisturiser and aloe vera gel for after-sun care.

I’m kicking off summer with a pre-season reset in Bali, surrounded by friends and family. July takes me to Turkey – first to Istanbul for a wedding, then on to Bodrum for a few birthday celebrations. I’ll probably wrap things up in Ibiza, which has become something of a tradition.

This year, it’s all about beach escapes. Bali is for surfing, yoga, boutique-hopping in Uluwatu and fully switching off. Turkey’s a mix – high energy in Istanbul for the wedding, then slow mornings and sea views in Bodrum. In Ibiza, we’ve booked a beach day at Jondal, a hike to Es Vedrà, dinner at Casa Maca and La Paloma – and, of course, a night at DC10.

When it comes to accommodation, Bali is all about barefoot villa life. In Turkey, I’m going for hotels, and in Ibiza, it’s a villa with friends – always the best setup. I like to have the basics locked in – flights, hotels, a few key reservations – but I always leave space for spontaneity. The best moments are usually the unplanned ones.

Outfit-wise, it’s destination-led. In Bali, it’s colourful slips and swimwear. For Turkey, I’ve packed gowns, beachwear and simple dresses. Ibiza is a bit of everything – beach looks by day, fun pieces and rave boots for the evenings. Staples in my suitcase are sarongs, bikinis (from Triangl, Pucci, Loleia and It’s Now Cool), Miu Miu sunglasses, Dyson Airwrap, a JBL speaker  and lots of playful jewellery.

My beauty essentials are the Sol de Janeiro Delícia Drench Body Butter, Augustinus Bader SPF,  Summer Fridays lip oil  and Chanel liquid highlighter. Not forgetting my rose cardamom oil  from Spa Ceylon  –it’s perfect after a day in the sun.

This summer feels extra special – I’m getting married in Amman. It’s where I spent every summer growing up, and with my fiancé’s family there too, it just felt like the perfect place to celebrate. 

After that, we’re off to Turkey, Mallorca, then finishing in Armenia – city buzz meets seaside chill.

I’m all about  Euro trips that involve a healthy mix of art, shopping, good food and coastal road trips. Mallorca felt like the perfect balance – chic but relaxed.  I’m a planner through and through, always tapping friends for local tips, using the AmiGo app, and checking SheerLuxe’s Little Black Books before every trip.

I’m an adrenaline junkie too — water sports, hiking, theatre, dancing, you name it, I’m in. Whilst I am in Turkey, I want to dine at Istanbul's foodie hot spot  Arkestra. Spain is all about soaking up the sun and shopping; I’m excited to hunt down local, artisanal fashion and jewellery in Palma. Masscob, a homegrown Spanish brand, is definitely top of my list. As for Yerevan, Armenia, I'm looking forward to going on hikes and eating a lot of delicious food. 

My wardrobe is planned around each stop. I’m packing co-ords, DISSH sets, Teva sandals, a Dragon Diffusion crossbody, sunglasses from Gentle Monster and Meller, and my Jacquemus Bambola bag. Evenings are all about maxi skirts, silk dresses and kitten heels.

Packing essentials include Cymbiotika gel sachets, wired Apple headphones (I’m still not sold on AirPods), Summer Fridays eye patches, Aesop hand cream and lip glosses from Laneige, Clarins and Chanel.  I also never travel without an excessive number of white cotton socks (H&M  for the win) and a stash of easy tees from Massimo Dutti and Bershka – understated, versatile, always comfortable.

My summer started early with a destination wedding in Rome at the end of April. It was the perfect excuse to explore Florence and the hills of Tuscany. Now, I’m planning my annual girls’ trip to Cannes, followed by a few days in St. Tropez. No special occasion this time, just a well-earned break to recharge, soak up the sun and get inspired. I love places where you can enjoy the sea by day and stylish streets, boutiques and restaurants by night. I’m not a big planner – I like letting the trip unfold. That said, if there’s a must-visit restaurant or pop-up, I’ll always book ahead to avoid missing out. When in Cannes, I always make time for lunch at L’Écrin Plage and love wandering through the local markets. In St. Tropez, I’ll be stopping at Dior Des Lices for the boutique and garden café. Chanel’s summer pop-up is also on my radar.  I’m all about boutique hotels with standout design and a laid-back, personal vibe. Great interiors are a must – plus, a sea view never hurts.

Style-wise, it’s all about effortless, elevated pieces. I’m packing Jacquemus, Matteau swimwear, my Miu Miu bag and jewellery from Tohum  and Sonia Petroff. I’ll also include pieces from Kai and Abadia for a regional touch. Travel essentials always include my tripod, GHD straightener and the Slick Hair duo kit. For skincare, I’m using the Supergoop  Golden Hour Glow Sunscreen and La Roche-Posay’s Cicaplast Baume B5.

This summer started with a trip to London to visit the SheerLuxe offices with Zahar, followed by a few days in Portugal to meet wedding planners and visit venues. We saw some incredible spots –  Herdade do Peru was a standout, a truly magical estate. Next up, a weekend in Amman to celebrate Talar’s wedding, which I couldn’t be more excited about. Then I’ll be spending the rest of the season in Beirut – the city really comes alive in the warmer months. Most of the summer will be spent with family and friends, eating the most incredible food and soaking up everything the city has to offer. We’ll likely spend a weekend at Beit Trad, a beautiful guesthouse tucked away in the mountains, before heading to Istanbul for a wedding in mid-July.  I usually plan everything from A to Z, but this year I’m taking things a little easier. With my own wedding to plan for in 2026, I’m trying to leave space for slower mornings and last-minute plans. 

I’m all about versatile staples that make summer dressing simple. My Wear That x Tamara Farra denim waistcoat has been a go-to, and I recently picked up some pieces from Jil Sander that I know I’ll wear again and again. I also found a great pair of TKEES flip flops – they go with (almost) everything and have been in heavy rotation. I added a pair of jorts  from ARKET, which work perfectly with oversized shirts or simple tanks. I’m still on the hunt for a dress for the Istanbul wedding, but we recently featured Autonomie on SheerLuxe, and I’m really keen to try on its pieces – they feel modern but still occasion-appropriate. I also love layering on jewellery – I always carry my custom Olalla necklaces, a Ralk Jewels multicoloured beaded necklace and a few statement Basliq rings to elevate my looks. 

Summer make-up for me is all about light skin tints and blush. My go-tos are the Hourglass Skin Tint and Saie’s SuperSuede Blush – both give that fresh, effortless finish. I also never travel without the Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask and Touchland hand sanitiser — easy staples I always keep close.
