Summer is in full swing, which means our Instagram feeds are filling up with pictures of gorgeous celebrities enjoying their holidays.

Whether they’re sunning themselves in the South of France, hunting for treasures in Marrakesh or living it up on the party island of Ibiza, celebrities always manage to look effortlessly chic when they’re abroad… but then they have an army of stylists to keep them looking their best on holidays.

For the rest of it can be confusing to know what to pack which is why we’ve teamed up with Kildare Village Personal Shopping Consultant Natalie Svikle to host the ‘Suitcase Secrets’ fashion edit at Kildare Village, together with EVOKE.ie’s Yolanda Zaw, this Saturday, 4th and Sunday, 5th June.

Register at KildareVillage.com/evoke to secure your VIP ‘Suitcase Secrets’ pass and discover a host of luxurious and gorgeous brands at Kildare Village.

And to give you a taste of what’s to come we’ve pulled together some of our favourite pieces from Kildare Village to see you through any type of holiday.

Relaxing in the South of France



Warm sunny days at the beach and cool nights sipping wine in an elegant bistro, can only mean two weeks in the south of France.

Comfortable shoes like these L.K.Bennett sandals from Kildare Village are a must for walking along the cobbled streets of Languedoc.

The weather can be changeable – one minute it’s blissfully sunny and the next you’re feeling a chill – so a lightweight jacket like this one from Gerard Darel will keep you warm when the temperature drops.

We’re also loving this bright orange Anya Hindmarch bag for adding a pop of colour to any holiday outfit.

While you’re away you still like to have your home comforts, these Molton Brown (sold separately) shower gel and body lotions are the perfect treat for your skin.

Keeping your cool in Morocco



Marrakesh is an intoxicating mix of colour and sounds but the midday heat can be stifling. To keep your cool, opt for a maxi dress, like this gorgeous floral one by Gerard Darel.

A cross body bag is essential for bargaining your way through the city’s souks, as are a comfortable pair of sandals like these ones from French Connection.

Bangles are a great choice for the day but for the evening you’ll want to glam up and this Folli Follie bracelet and pendant available from Kildare Village are the perfect choice for an elegant dinner in a five-star resort.

Feel like a princess on your ‘Roman Holiday’

Channel your inner Audrey Hepburn for your ‘Roman Holiday’ with some gorgeous structured pieces from Kildare Village.

This stunning red dress is from one of Kate Middleton’s favourite labels, LK Bennett, and will look amazing teamed with these red Kurt Geiger shoes as you sip espresso by the Trevi Fountain.

These quirky Lulu Guinness suitcases are ideal for adding a modern twist to your classic Italian look ensuring you arrive in style at your destination.

And you can’t go wrong on holidays with a pair of cat-eyed sunglasses like these navy Christian Dior ones from David Clulow and this Links of London ring is the perfect finishing touch.

Surfing in Ibiza

The nightlife may be wild in Ibiza, but the days are laid backed so you want to opt for something casual for when you’re relaxing by the beach.

A pair of printed trousers are great for navigating between the beach and the bar, and no surfing holiday would be complete without a pair of Havaianas flip-flops.

Ibiza is one of those places when you can be a bit more daring with your style choices. These Dolce & Gabbana floral sunglasses embody the boho spirit of the island.

We also have our eye on the Melissa Curry heart pendant in neon pink, available from Kildare Village.

And this Samsonite suitcase is perfect for packing in all of your surf holiday essentials.
