For my long weekend away in Marrakesh with only hand-luggage, I'm going for warm, rustic colours and long, loose layers, topped off with a big, bold sunhat to hit the medina.
My go-to in the heat is always linen.
These striped trousers from Next, teamed with the tie-back top, are perfect for keeping cool when the temperature soars.
I also love adding texture to my summer looks: viral cornelli detailing on an evening co-ord, a mother-of pearl embellished clutch and resin multicoloured earrings can be mixed and matched, and will take your daytime looks through to evening.
Oh, and don't forget a neck scarf - wear it with everything from your bikini to your floaty summer frock.

I love matching my wardrobe to my surroundings, so planning my holiday outfits always brings me great joy.
Jetting off to the sandy beaches and jungles of Sri Lanka means I'm going for tropical swimwear, graphic T-shirts, and earthy tones to match my exotic surroundings.
Loose trousers with elasticated waistbands are a must to be comfortable and flowy, as well as flat sandals to explore in.
Practical items can still be stylish, too - I adore this check bucket hat from John Lewis and super-cool sunglasses from Le Specs.

As we all know, the British seaside can mean rain or sunshine - or even both at the same time - so for my staycation, I'll be covering all bases with light fabrics and layering pieces.
A wind-resistant jacket, a sweatshirt for warmth and of course sandals and shorts are all must-packs.
I try to add pieces that I know I can dress up or dress down and will work for every occasion - be it a blustery beach day or a promenade stroll with ice cream in hand - and this lovely lot just does that.

I'm hoping to get away on a city break to Paris this summer.
I've visited the city a few times before, and one thing's for sure, the French have great style, so my outfit game needs to be strong.
For my trip to the French capital, I'll be channeling the Emily in Paris aesthetic (of course!) with colourful stripes and luxe bouclé - though I draw the line at a beret...
Since I'll likely be travelling with just hand luggage, I've picked a selection of versatile pieces that can be easily mixed and matched.

Gary Lineker's The Rest Is Football podcast moves to DAZN following BBC exit
Gary Lineker's The Rest Is Football podcast moves to DAZN following BBC exit The partnership will see the podcast, which is fronted by Lineker alongside the BBC football highlights show's pundits Alan Shearer and Micah Richards, include footage of the Club World Cup tournament in the video version of the show Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer laughing together while in conversation (Image: PA ) Former Match Of The Day presenter Gary Lineker has taken his The Rest Is Football podcast to broadcaster DAZN following his departure from the BBC. The partnership will see the podcast, which is fronted by Lineker alongside the BBC football highlights show's pundits Alan Shearer and Micah Richards, include footage of the Club World Cup tournament in the video version of the show. Pete Oliver, chief executive of growth markets at DAZN, said: "The Rest Is Football is essential viewing and listening for fans who want insight, entertainment, and personality - and this partnership is a brilliant way to bring the Fifa Club World Cup even closer to that audience. "It's about connecting global football with the voices fans trust and love, and showing the tournament in a fresh, exciting, and authentically British way." DAZN is a British internet sports streaming platform founded in 2015, with the rights to show an array of boxing matches, American sports and football leagues. As of 2023, the service had more than 20 million subscribers. The deal with DAZN comes after the podcast, produced by the former Barcelona striker's Goalhanger Podcasts, was removed from the BBC's audio streaming service last week following Lineker's exit from the corporation. Article continues below The Club World Cup will see teams from across the world such as Spain's Real Madrid, Argentina's River Plate and Japan's Urawa Red Diamonds compete against one another in the US. The 64-year-old left his presenting role early following a social media row after he shared a post about Zionism which featured a depiction of a rat, historically an antisemitic insult. Lineker, who issued an unreserved apology, will no longer front the BBC's coverage of the 2026 World Cup or the FA Cup next season, with his final appearance on Match Of The Day airing on May 25. Speaking on The Rest Is Football after his final episode of Match Of The Day, Lineker said of leaving the role: "I was a bit tired, and a bit emotional last night, I'm fine. "I'm good, and thank you both for your very kind words last night. I must say, when they played the montage, obviously, I knew something was coming, but I didn't know what it was at all. "(I was) struggling to keep myself (together), especially when I saw my boys, you know what it's like when it's family and stuff, and thankfully that wasn't the last clip, because I'd gone at that point, I needed time to get myself together to try and get through the end of the show." Article continues below Lineker had presented Match Of The Day since 1999 and fronted the BBC's coverage of other major sporting events, including the 2012 London Olympics.

Heartbreak for family of missing Brit as she is found in Brazil
Journalist Charlotte Alice Peet was found by police after she went missing in Brazil in February - but she told authorities she did not want to be contacted by her family A family has been left devastated after a British journalist who went missing in Brazil was found but said she did not want to be contacted. Charlotte Alice Peet was found in a hostel in the city of Sao Paulo. The case has now closed after Charlotte, 32, went missing in February but 'expressed her desire not to have contact with her family', according to police in Brazil. 'She was there and clearly demonstrated that she had no interest in maintaining contact with her family, nor in returning to her country,' said Missing Persons Unit head Ellen Souto. She had been spotted getting on a bus from Sao Paulo to Rio de Janeiro and was seen at a bar on Copacabana Beach. She was last heard from when she messaged a friend saying she had plans to travel to Rio and needed somewhere to stay. The friend told her this would not be possible and Charlotte did not respond to any further messages, including ones from her own family. From February 17 to 24, Charlotte stayed in hostels in Botafogo and Leme, both areas in Rio, During the police search for Charlotte, authorities accessed the photos taken on her phone and saw selifes she had taken. This included one of her on the coach to Rio and her in the Leme district of the city, where she was at a beachside bar. One photo showed her wearing sunglasses and pouting for her camera, on a street close to Rio's famous Hotel Hilton Copacabana. Police said during the time Charlotte was missing that their main line of investigation was a "voluntary disappearance". Souto said then: "We have two mobile phone numbers for her. The British number receives messages and calls. The Brazilian number, which has an area code for Sao Paulo, is programmed to not receive calls." According to Charlotte's LinkedIn page, she has worked for the likes of The Times, Al Jazeera, the BBC and The Telegraph during nine years in journalism. She lived in Brazil between 2020 and 2022 - her page also says she is fluent in Portuguese - and went back there in November last year after a brief period in the UK. Previously, Charlotte's dad Derek Preet said she went back to Brazil without telling her family. 'I wouldn't say that it was normal, there was something on her mind obviously otherwise she would have let us know,' he said. He added: 'It's very worrying but I don't have any more to say, I'm very concerned but I just don't know what's going on, we're just trying to pick up the pieces really.' It comes following a tragic update in the case of rescued backpacker Hannah Almond after a homeless man who became friends with her sadly died. The British tourist began sleeping rough when her belongings were stolen in Peru. Hannah ended up sleeping under a brdge in the city of Cusco. The man she slept next to became the only person she trusted for the next month. She was found by a Good Samaritan she had earlier met on her travels who tracked down the 32-year-old after he joined the search for her. But it later emerged the elderly man Hannah trusted died at a charity OAP residence he had been taken to following a brief stay at a hostel. He was found dead in his bed, it is understood. Cusco public beneficence department legal adviser Henry Gonzales said the man - who died with the initials 'NN' for 'no name' - was in ok health when he was taken in. There is no suggestion of suspicion in the man's death, according to recent reports.

Kneecap announce ‘biggest headline show outside of Ireland' at London arena
Kneecap announce 'biggest headline show outside of Ireland' at London arena The concert comes after the group remained on the line-up for Glastonbury Festival The group performed during the headline slot of the South London festival (Image: Luke Dyson ) Irish rap trio Kneecap have announced their "biggest headline show outside of Ireland" at London's OVO Arena Wembley. The concert comes after the group remained on the line-up for Glastonbury Festival, when it was confirmed on Tuesday, despite calls from Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch and a number of other politicians to remove them. Kneecap were taken out of the line-up at Scotland's TRNSMT festival last week after safety concerns were raised by police, while last month the group played to thousands at London's Wide Awake festival in Brockwell Park. The Belfast trio have scheduled a replacement gig for the cancelled festival show at Glasgow's O2 Academy in July. The group's London concert will take place on September 18, with tickets going on pre-sale on the group's WhatsApp channel at 10am, before a general sale on Friday. In a post announcing the gig, Kneecap said: "The belly of the beast – let's go." Article continues below It comes after Kneecap member Liam Og O hAnnaidh, who performs under the stage name Mo Chara, was charged under the name Liam O'Hanna by the Metropolitan Police with a terror offence last month over the alleged display of a Hezbollah flag at a gig in November last year. Counter-terrorism police previously investigated Kneecap after videos emerged allegedly showing the band calling for the deaths of MPs and shouting "up Hamas, up Hezbollah". The group apologised to the families of murdered MPs but said footage of the incident had been "exploited and weaponised", and also said they have "never supported" Hamas or Hezbollah, which are banned in the UK. In response to the charge, the group said in a social media statement: "14,000 babies are about to die of starvation in Gaza, with food sent by the world sitting on the other side of a wall, and once again the British establishment is focused on us. "We deny this 'offence' and will vehemently defend ourselves, this is political policing, this is a carnival of distraction. "We are not the story, genocide is, as they profit from genocide, they use an 'anti-terror law' against us for displaying a flag thrown on stage. A charge not serious enough to even warrant their crown court, instead a court that doesn't have a jury. What's the objective? "To restrict our ability to travel. To prevent us speaking to young people across the world. To silence voices of compassion. To prosecute artists who dare speak out. "Instead of defending innocent people, or the principles of international law they claim to uphold, the powerful in Britain have abetted slaughter and famine in Gaza, just as they did in Ireland for centuries. Then, like now, they claim justification. "The IDF units they arm and fly spy plane missions for are the real terrorists, the whole world can see it." Article continues below Ahead of their Wide Awake set, Kneecap released their latest song The Recap, which opens with a sample of a news report about the counter-terrorism police investigation into the group, and mocks Ms Badenoch's attempts to block arts funding they were awarded, and the Conservative Party's election loss. In 2024, the band released an eponymous film starring Oscar-nominated actor Michael Fassbender which is a fictionalised retelling of how the band came together and follows the Belfast group on their mission to save their mother tongue through music. Formed in 2017, the group, made up of O hAnnaidh, Naoise O Caireallain and JJ O Dochartaigh, are known for their provocative lyrics and merchandise as well as their championing of the Irish language, and their best-known tracks include Get Your Brits Out, Better Way To Live and 3Cag.
