Dream destinations with bright summer vacation outfits and jewellery? #HolidayGoals. In full transparency, there’s only one thing on our minds right now: summer vacay!
We’re dreaming of sunshine, piña coladas, and of course, a chic vacation wardrobe. After all, summer is when we get to take a break from our regular 9-to-5 and play dress up in bright bikinis, printed kaftans and crochet ensembles.

NGL, jewellery is the quickest way to transform any ordinary outfit into an extraordinary vacation-worthy ensemble that can nail that on-holiday look (even when you’re not).
Whether you’re headed to a beachy vacation in the Bahamas or a Parisian city escape, we’ve put together a list of summer vacation outfits along with jewellery that matches the vibe of 7 dream vacay destinations. Now all that’s left to do? Book tickets and make room in your suitcase for hot new pieces so you can kick back and soak up some sunshine in style!
Summer Vacation Outfits and Jewellery for Every Dream Destination
1. London Dreaming
Heading to London for your summer holiday? All we can say is ‘Lucky You!’
From planning a picnic in Richmond Park to visiting hotspots like Big Ben and a few swanky bars, there’s so much to do in the capital. So, it’s obvious you’ll need a wardrobe that can do it all (even taking the infamous weather changes). So, do pack your floral tea dresses, date-night minis and relaxed button-downs along with some scarves and light jackets. Finish off your look with an emerald pendant that will elevate almost every outfit you wear. Plus, our super-loved three-stone blue sapphire ring to channel your inner royal (as you should when in the UK). Now, all you need to do is throw some stackable rings and bracelets into the mix and you’re all ready to rock your Instagram selfies!

2. An Italian Holiday
ICYMI: Italy has topped almost everyone’s must-visit list lately (including ours!) And if you too are all set to visit a destination as historically and artistically chic as Italy for the 2023 summer holidays, you’d better gear up to look the part.
Be sure to include a few of your fav sleeveless dresses, light knit tops and Bermuda shorts (your best Vespa-friendly bet) for an easy breezy day to visit the Trevis Fountain and the art galleries all while relishing some gelato. And if you intend to do a private palazzo dinner, don’t forget to pair your evening dress or gown with a fancy citrine ring and ruby earrings. After all, it’s the city where art meets fashion, so why not shop for a few baubles that match the aesthetic? Besides, it’ll make sightseeing so much more fun and stylish.
3. Life In The Bahamas
When packing for destinations like the Bahamas, go for laid-back beach essentials to upgrade your summer vacation style.
A two-piece swimsuit, some coverups, denim shorts and a trusty hat is perfect for a day spent frolicking in the sun and sand. Top off your tropical look with these mermaidcore-inspired peridot and diamond shell earrings. Also, there’s nothing better than a season at the seaside to flaunt some pearly beauties. *Sigh* We can already imagine you making a soak-up-the-sun sesh look so damn good.
Style tip: We recommend layering up your pearls, i.e., two pearl necklaces or two pearl bracelets, to rock that coastal glam trend.
4. Bonjour Paris
So, you’re jetting off to the banks of the Seine to soak in art, fashion, and some of the world’s best food and wine? Woohoo! We’ve got just the summer vacation jewellery pieces to make your sweet Parisian escape even sweeter.
Embrace your inner French girl with flowing maxi (or mini) dresses, wide-legged trousers, heels and beret hats. Don this heart ruby solitaire ring for a visit to the romantic Eiffel Tower followed by a quick coffee-and-croissant run (yes, those are crucial). And slip on this pink sapphire bracelet to add some glitz to your evenings spent enjoying cabarets and wines.
Don’t forget your red lippie, aka the French girl must-have, and you’ll have achieved a look that screams très chic. Now, wasn’t that super easy?
5. All Greek To Me
Admit it: It’s nearly impossible to scroll through Instagram without getting the itch to book a Greek summer holiday. And if you get lucky enough to visit this beautiful Mediterranean country, you want to be on top of your holiday fashion game. We recommend taking the essentials – tank tops, skirts and white maxi dresses along with our gorgeous blue gemstone jewellery. Our favourites? Swiss blue topaz and aquamarine to pack a punch into your simple summer linens. Trust us; the azure hues of these gems against the beautiful backdrop of Santorini will make your photos look dreamy.
Want to make your out-of-office look even chicer? We suggest styling colourful jewels with diamonds. Sure, gemstones are memorable, but add a diamond necklace or a diamond tennis bracelet to your stack, and it’ll be timeless.)
6. Hola Spain
NGL, there’s simply so much one can do in Spain. It’s the land of culture, art, music and delicious tapas. If you’re planning your great Spanish escapade, pack pullover jackets, summer dresses and bandeau tops that can easily transition from a day spent in the colourful markets to a night at the beach clubs. The same rule applies to your accessories. Carry this statement-making garnet ring and pair of yellow sapphire drop earrings that will work double (or triple) duty. We promise you’ll never get over how well they work with your summer vacation outfits.

7. Viva Las Vegas
The pool parties, the clubs, the casinos… a Las Vegas extravaganza is definitely one to look forward to.
You’ll need a wardrobe that’s equal parts trendy and fun, just like the vibrant city. Think chic dresses, denim shorts, rompers and all your flashiest sequined or feathery outfits. For accessories, we’ve got something that’ll liven up the entire party – our multi-sapphire hoop earrings to add a playful pop of rainbow to your look and this diamond bangle bracelet to maximise the glam quotient of your OOTD. Pretty exciting, huh?
PS: If multi-sapphire hoops aren’t your vibe, you can go for diamond hoops, diamond drops or even diamond studs (if you’re all about keeping it sophisticated). They’re tried-and-tested classics, so you’ll never have to worry about taking them off.

Ta-da! We’re going to leave you now with a blissful vacation state of mind. *wink*
