Planning a European summer holiday? Along with your trendy outfits, don't forget to pack the perfect jewellery to elevate your holiday style. Jewellery has the power to enhance your look and add a touch of elegance to any ensemble. In this blog post, we'll explore valuable tips and ideas for styling jewellery that will make you shine under the European sun while optimising your search engine visibility.
Embrace Light and Airy Pieces: When it comes to European summer holidays, opt for light and airy jewellery pieces that complement the sunny weather and laid-back atmosphere. Consider delicate and minimalistic necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. Think of dainty chains with small pendants, thin bangles, or hoop earrings. These pieces will add a subtle touch of elegance without weighing you down in the heat.
Play with Vibrant Gemstones: Summer is the perfect time to experiment with vibrant colours. Add a pop of colour to your jewellery collection by incorporating gemstones that reflect the hues of the season. Consider turquoise, coral, or citrine gemstones in your earrings, bracelets, or rings. These colourful accents will add a playful and eye-catching element to your vacation looks.
Opt for Versatile Statement Pieces: While delicate jewellery has its charm, don't shy away from incorporating statement pieces into your European summer style. Choose a bold, oversized necklace or a chunky cuff bracelet to make an impact. Pair these statement pieces with simpler outfits to let the jewellery shine. A vibrant statement necklace can effortlessly transform a basic white dress into a stunning ensemble.
Mix and Match Metals: Create a Modern Look Mixing and matching metals is a popular trend that adds a modern touch to your vacation style. Combine gold, silver, and rose gold pieces for a sophisticated and eclectic look. Consider layering necklaces of different metals or stacking rings in various shades. This mixing of metals will create visual interest and give your jewellery collection a contemporary edge.
Consider the Occasion and Destination: When selecting jewellery for your European summer holiday, keep in mind the occasion and destination. If you're attending a formal event or dining at a fancy restaurant, opt for more elegant and refined pieces. For casual day trips or beach outings, choose simpler and more relaxed styles. Consider the overall vibe and ambiance of your destination to ensure your jewellery complements the atmosphere.
Styling jewellery for your European summer holiday is an opportunity to embrace the sun with style. By opting for light and airy pieces, incorporating nautical elements, playing with vibrant gemstones, embracing versatile statement pieces, mixing and matching metals, and considering the occasion and destination, you can create stunning vacation looks. Let your jewellery reflect the essence of the European summer and make a memorable fashion statement during your holiday.

Location is key when it comes to planning the perfect picnic. Look for a spot that's peaceful, quiet, and surrounded by natural beauty. A local park, beach, or even your own backyard can be the perfect place to set up your picnic. Just make sure you have enough space to comfortably spread out your blanket and enjoy your food.
Next up is the food. When it comes to picnics, finger foods and portable snacks are a must. Think sandwiches, wraps, cheese and crackers, fresh fruit, and veggies with dip. Don't forget to pack some sweet treats as well, such as cookies or brownies. And, of course, don't forget to bring plenty of water and other beverages to stay hydrated.
Presentation is also important when it comes to creating the ultimate picnic. Consider bringing along our Picnic Basket or one of our cooler bags to keep your food and drinks chilled and easily accessible. Pack your plates, utensils, and napkins in a separate bag or container, and don't forget a cutting board and knife for slicing cheese and bread.
Ambiance is another important factor to consider when planning the ultimate picnic. Bring along some blankets or comfortable seating options to create a cozy atmosphere. Consider bringing along some music to set the mood and enhance the experience.
Lastly, make sure to pack some outdoor games or activities to keep everyone entertained. Frisbee, soccer, or even a simple game of catch can be a great way to enjoy the outdoors and bond with friends and family.
The ultimate picnic requires a little bit of planning and preparation, but the end result is well worth the effort. With a beautiful location, delicious food, comfortable seating, and fun activities, you're sure to create memories that will last a lifetime. So grab your loved ones, pack up your picnic basket, and enjoy a day in the great outdoors.

Miz Casa & Co is excited to launch our new WELLNESS category, with our Face Roller and Qua Sha set. These tools work hand in hand by gently massaging the neck, face and pressure points assisting in reliving tension, sculpting and circulating blood flow. This dates back to ancient Chinese culture, a beauty tool to massage the face in a particular motion. Think of this as spa like experience in the comfort of your own home. With 18k rose gold plated hardware, these new products are sure to be a favourite for your skin care routine.
Gua Sha:
The Gua Sha is a slower process than using a facial roller, more of a targeted tool and should be used with care and time to treat yourself. Best used with a facial oil to help glide smoothly without tugging on the delicate skin on the face and neck.
- Promotes lymphatic drainage to reduce puffiness in the face and neck
- Clears toxins from the body
- Used for facial sculpting
- Deeper facial massage compared to facial roller
- Created to lift and sculpt the face with its unique design with divot
- Also used to relive tension in shoulders and back muscles
- Does a lot more than the roller; sculpting, muscle tension and relaxing
- More complicated than the roller as it require more technique and focus
Facial Roller:
The face roller is naturally cool to touch but can be popped in the fridge or freezer for a more cooler effect and help with inflammation and de-puffing
Double edged facial roller, larger side for larger areas and the smaller side great for under the eye
Double ended facial roller?
Using the larger side of the roller, gently massage your neck, cheeks and jawline with outward and upward strokes. The smaller side then can be used to target the eye and temple area.
Improvements?
Designed and used for many centuries to stimulate the lymphatic system. May help to increase blood circulation and encourage collagen production which could reduce puffiness, wrinkles and redness for improved skin tone, elasticity and radiance.
Feeling tense?
Using the Gua Sha can assist in muscle toning, firming of the skin and relieving facial tension as you glide it in upward motion along the neck, jawline, cheeks and forehead.
When to use?
Skincare must have!
With a clean fresh face, use the roller to massage your serum, oil or cream not only with this help gliding the tool in upward and outwards motion it will help promote lymphatic drainage releasing extra fluid/ toxins and your skin absorb your product enhancing a fresh glow. Using both Gua Sha and Facial Roller you can customise your own at home spa treatment for glowing youthful skin.
Before Using the Tool:
# 1: Clean face
# 2: Hydrating mist to prep skin (optional)
# 3: Apply a face oil, any facial oil you have will work; aids in gliding the tool along the face for a gentle effect approach
Start with the neck and work upwards to the jaw cheeks under eye forehead and nose
How to use the facial roller:
Start with the clavicle and neck to create an opening for the lymphatic drainage to go through
Step 1: Roll along the clavicle bones
Step 2: Roll down the neck
Step 3: Roll up your chin along your jaw, then bring it back down the neck
Step 4: Lips; Role out from the centre then up the corners (optional)
Step 5: Roll up the cheeks to help lift and accentuate the cheek bones
Step 6: Using the small side under the eye and gently roll out ( the skin is much more delicate under the eye)
Step 7: Forehead; start in the centre, roll up and out
Step 8: Eyebrows; Roll outwards
Step 9: Roll down the nose (using either side)
Tip: (optional) keep refrigerated or in the freezer. Great for tension headaches and helps you wake up in the morning.
How to use the Gua Sha:
Start with the back of your neck to relieve jaw and facial tension
Step 1: divot pointed downward on spine, keep flat and move in an upward motion - every time you reach the end point. Stop to wiggle and massage the point. Repeating 3-5 times each
Step 2: top aiding oil to help - side of neck: use flat edge, start at shoulders and move up the neck
Step 3: from the collar bone; drag flat side up the neck. Stop at jaw bone and wiggle it
Step 4: divot side keeping the tool flat drag up the front of neck from the point in between your collar bones to top of jaw
Step 5: similar to the facial roller; using flat edge, drag up jawline from chin to ear and wriggle
Step 6: cheekbones: start at corner of mouth and move up to temple using flat side
Step 7: under eye; with divot facing upward place under the eye and move outward gently using curved side on cheekbone
Step 8: top of eye; start at under brow and move up forehead to hair line using flat side also using divot across the brow

We're so excited to be launching our latest collection for Spring Summer and we wanted to share a little bit of the process and story behind some of our favourite pieces from the range, the rattan basket bags.
Hand crafted in Vietnam, the bags are made by skilled artisans who have honed their craft of hand weaving. Basket weaving is an ancient craft practiced for centuries all around the world. In Vietnam it is believed rattan weaving has been practised for around 400 years and has become an important traditional craft.
The raw material for the rattan comes from the calameae trees which are processed to create a strong, fine and durable stranded fibre ideal for weaving and basket making. The fibres are then woven by skilled artisans to create the baskets which are then dried in the sun for a few days. Finally the bags are smoked over coconut husks to fully dry the fibre and strength the weave. This process gives the basket its recognisable deep natural brown colour and gives the bags a lovely smokey scent.
The result is a beautifully finished, intricately woven and unique bag. Every piece is individual with very slight variations in the weave, a mark of the makers hand and with subtle differences in colour from the smoking and drying process. We hope you'll truly cherish these bags as they are a reflection of the beauty of craftsmanship.

TOWELS
Not just a beach staple, also practical and beautiful for using as a picnic rug, setting up a make shift seat, wrapping up little ones when it gets cold... there's so many uses you'll find. Here's an assortment of our favourite towels
READING MATERIAL
Take that book you've had on your bedside table but keep forgetting to read or the magazines you've been collecting but haven't had a proper chance to sit down with. Just make sure its not something on screen, give your eyes a rest from that artificial glow.
THE PERFECT SIZED BAG
We've all been guilty of packing everything including the kitchen sink for a short getaway only to lug around a bag full of items and never take them out of the bag. Solution- a bag that’s big enough for everything you'll need for a weekend away but not too big. Luckily we've got the perfect weekend sized bag in our Piper Neoprene Overnight Bag
CAMERA
Not your IPhone but a real camera. There's nothing like really remembering a special trip away with your own personal holiday snaps. And make sure you get them printed and fill up your photo frames and albums with all your beautiful memories.
CURATED CLOTHING
There's nothing worse than packing all the wrong things for a getaway! Check the weather report before packing and as a rule of thumb always pack options! We love light layers in natural fabrics and similar colours that will work for everything and easily go together. Our beautiful cotton Turkish towels will always double as a wrap or shawl should you need it.
And lastly... keep it simple, you can't go wrong with this mindset!
Happy weekend away lovelies x
