We caught up with Beach Cafe favourite Rosie Londoner, to hear all about her favourite vacation memories, her vacation style and her must have pieces!
DESCRIBE YOUR VACATION STYLE
My vacation style really depends on the vacation! If it’s somewhere hot and steamy, I want to be as relaxed and comfortable as possible. Light, flowy dresses that let the breeze in and make you feel glamorous with minimal effort! If it’s a city escape, I like things to be a little more tailored and classic.
HOW DO YOU PACK FOR A TRIP?
I pack last minute and always more than I need!
WHAT'S THE BEST PACKING TIP YOU HAVE?
Try and stick to a particular colour palette for each trip, that way you can mix and match everything.

ESSENTIALS FOR TRAVELLING
A sense of adventure and a sense of humour! Things often go wrong so go with the flow and find the silver lining.
WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE SWIMWEAR STYLE?
I’ve always liked a classic one piece beside a hotel pool. With bikinis I like them to be as teeny tiny as possible, or high waisted and old school. There is no in-between for me!
WHAT'S YOUR HERO VACATION PIECE?
You can’t go wrong with a big floppy hat. It’ll elevate any look and keep you protected from the mid-day sun.
TELL US WHAT'S ON YOUR SUMMER READING LIST..
Baby weaning books! Very boring to everyone else, but to someone with a new baby they’re riveting!
MUST HAVE VACATION BEAUTY PRODUCT
SPF! And lots of it.

FAVOURITE VACATION MEMORY...
Floating on a little vintage fishing boat off the coast of Positano. We were eating local ham and over-ripe figs washed down with cold white wine. The sea was calm and the darkest blue you can imagine. It started to rain ever so gently. We snuggled down under towels on the deck and fell asleep with the warm rain pattering above us.
