I write this from Greece, having spent the past week flipping between an olive green strappy Eres swimsuit with sunbleached Levi’s cut-offs and my tennis whites, plus an oversized Chanel basket bag full of books and beauty products for the beach. Flying only with hand luggage gifts me a minimalism I relish. A couple of vintage headscarves and a tangle of jewellery are all I need here to change it up after dark.
