RESTING (AND RAVING) IN IBIZA

-

This fantasy is close to my heart, since I’d rented a villa on the White Isle, and was supposed to be sunning myself on its munificent terraces next month. Instead, I’ll be stuck in north London, dreaming of what might have been while sunbathing in Ibiza-friendly garb. Which means gold sandals – I don’t know why, but it just does. Christian Louboutin’s Normandies (£545) are both bling and boho: perfect for Ibiza. They’re available on Net-a-Porter, which has recently started delivering again after a hiatus, and are currently offering free delivery on orders over £200.

The pose factor is high in Ibiza, so the right bikini is a must. When shopping online, you want a brand you can trust for fit and quality, and nothing beats the Aussies on both fronts. Trust Zimmerman to deliver: its colourbloc­k Bellitude (£250) makes a real statement. What do you mean, only your kids will see it? Shhh: you’re spoiling the fantasy.

Your bag is important, too. No cheapo beach bag for ’beefa: assert your fashion credential­s with this neon and raffia tote by Loewe Paula’s

Ibiza (£295), a brandnew collaborat­ion between

Jonathan Anderson and cult Balearic boutique Paula’s, handcrafte­d in Spain. Perfect for carrying your book, your SPF and your

Airpods those all-important five yards from your kitchen to your deckchair.

Skinceutic­als’ Mineral Radiance UV Defense (£41), which is imbued with a clever “universal tint” that provides SPF 50 coverage and a subtle glow to all skin tones. Lord knows we all need a little extra glow these days. This is one “pack” we really can take to the back garden with legitimacy.
