THE ISLAND TIGER

The island tiger prowls through her domain with a wild and untamed spirit. With sun-kissed skin and a fierce gaze, she navigates the desert landscape with grace and agility. Her presence is both mysterious and alluring, blending seamlessly with the sandy dunes and rhythmic crash of waves against the shore. Clad in attire that mirrors her feline spirit, she embodies the natural beauty of her surroundings, a creature of both strength and grace in her island paradise.

Planning a trip to desert island Tawila? Don’t forget to pack your Jade Copper’s flowy maxi skirt, a cotton top from Proenza Schouler and stylish Prada animal-print sandals. If you don’t feel like going full on leopard mode today, tune down your animal print outfit by combining the Dolce & Gabbana bikini bottoms with a simple beige triangle bikini top from Saint Laurent. Blend in with your surroundings, the enchanting Red Sea, by accessorizing with a natural red coral bead necklace available at 1stDibs.

Whether you’re lounging on a yacht awaiting arrival or relaxing by the shore, staying shaded from the sun is essential. Opt for the Prada bucket hat for protection. Add a touch of glamour with APM Monaco’s hoop detail necklace and Valentino Garavani’s Vlogo signature bead-embellished mini bag. When it comes to selecting your lipstick, always go for one with high-quality ingredients and a smooth application; Charlotte Tilbury’s hot lips lipstick ticks all the boxes.

THE BEACH BOMBSHELL

The beach bombshell commands the shore with her striking confidence and undeniable allure. She exudes a magnetic charm that turns every head in her direction, leaving a lasting impression wherever she goes. Her presence is a celebration of beauty and self-assurance, making waves both in and out of the water.

Be the lady in red, an eye catcher in Isa Boulder’s vibrant crimson underwire bikini top and reversible bottoms.

After enjoying the sea, dry off and sunbathe on a chic red-patterned Brondesbury towel. Then, cover up – just a little – with Amir Slama’s knit beach dress. Finish off your look with 18kt diamond earrings by Yvonne Léon, Dolce & Gabbana slides and a khaki Diesel 1DR bag with fringed edges and rhinestones. This outfit is a manifestation of your magnetic personality and unquestionable charm.

Not enough irresistibility? Swipe on some red soft matte lipstick by Hourglass, and bam…
