1. The Summer Party Piece

Nothing says summer party more than the L'alingi Seashell Pearl Eternity. It’s a piece that will instantly update your look.

2. The Shoe

I am more of a flats person because I like to be comfortable. I do wear the Hermès Chypre a lot but I also love the Ancient Greek jelly sandals with seashells for summer.

3. The Swimsuit

I have always been a one-piece swimsuit girl. We just got back from Tangier in Morocco and I enjoyed wearing this printed swimsuit from Seafolly.

4. The Bag

I love our L’alingi Crochet Totes. They are so easy to throw on and hold so much – I can easily use them every day. Our Eternity bags are the perfect addition to any evening look.

5. The Sunglasses

I like statement sunglasses. The Loewe x Paula's Ibiza Flower style is so fun and chic.

6. Jewellery Update

We recently launched earrings that match our bags, so those are a go-to for me now. I’m also loving the Heaven Mayhem Baby Knot Earrings in silver and gold.

7. The Beach Cover-Up

A good crochet dress is always great or something printed – Agua Bendita makes some of the most beautiful printed cover-ups with matching swimsuits.

8. Beauty Essential

I’m really into butter yellow nails this summer. I can’t live without Victoria Beckham’s smudge-proof mascara – it’s great for long-lasting lashes. Huda Beauty Lip Contour 2.0 is my everyday lip tint and I also love my Rhode Pocket Blush, which you can also use on the lips.

9. The Beauty Tool

I have been using my Jose Eber curler for over a decade.

10. Suncare Hero

My favourite sun cream is the Ultra Violette Supreme; it's so moisturising and soft on the skin.

11. The Scent

Elie Saab Le Parfum is my signature scent. I also love florals, so I’ve been really enjoying my Hermès Jardin de Lagune.

12. The Wellness Retreat

Channelling my inner mermaid on any remote island helps me feel grounded and at peace. I’ve also been wanting to try Buchinger, a wellness and health retreat in Germany.

13. The Podcast

There are quite a few but I love listening to Ladies Who Launch. It inspires me as a female founder.

14. The Book

The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins was my last read. I love self-help books. I am also reading There Are Rivers In The Sky by Elif Shafak and Good Stress by Jeff Krasno.

15. Summer Cocktail

I prefer mocktails over cocktails. It’s a virgin mojito for me every time

16. Tablescaping Essential

I have a huge appreciation for handmade ceramics. Dinosaur Designs has some of the most vibrant resin platters.

17. Go-To Holiday Destination

Next on my bucket list is Vietnam. Despite always being a city girl, my loud and overly stimulated lifestyle calls for a grounded destination that is tropical and wild. I miss nature and love animals.

18. Go-To Hotel For Summer

We often spend the summer in Beirut and hop on to Greece or Turkey, but I’ve been eyeing Almaza-Bay in Egypt. The water looks breathtaking.
