If you plan to spend your 2024 summer vacation sunbathing somewhere on the French Riviera, Italian or Croatian beach or any other beach by the Adriatic Sea, this is what you will need: fashionable swimwear, a trendy cotton dress, a stylish crop top, linen shorts, pretty skirt and wedge espadrilles.

Obviously, you also need a fashionable beach towel, sunscreen cream, sunglasses, and a trendy beach bag.

Remember, summer is time to try new things, have fun, eat ice cream, drink cold cocktails and think of nothing else but sun, sea and your new summer love. Don’t forget: mix and match different fashion trends and have fun while wearing them.

PACKING LIST FOR SUMMER WEEKEND GETAWAY TO THE EUROPEAN CITIES

Weekend getaways to the European cities are my summer’s “must “. I simply love discovering new towns and also returning to the ones that I have visited before. My favourite summer trio is certainly Paris, London and … Rome.

There is something quite fabulous on the streets of glorious Rome in the summer. I think it’s the infinite Italian passion of life and Bellezza. You will feel it, the moment you will step out of the car and start exploring the city.

Only one tip to make sure you enjoy in la dolce vita … put on something chic yet comfortable, rent a moped and go on a whirlwind journey of the heart, from day to night. And don’t forget … When in Rome, wear what Brunette wears!
