A leather jacket will see you through for years and is worth investing in a good quality one. Look around, and you're bound to find something fabulous!

A beach bag.. Not sure which one to take. Can I take them all?

Mesh bags, I know...not  glam but essential for travel. I love these for packing smalls and delicates. Makes it easy to find things at a glance...
These ones are from houzz.com, but they are also available from some supermarkets, click.co.za, etc.
Now, about that booking...

What are your essentials to take on vacation? Would love to hear from you!
