3.) Twelve South PlugBug Duo, £49.99
The PlugBug Duo keeps USB-powered devices charged in more than 150 countries. It also adds two USB ports to a MacBook Power adapter so users can charge three devices at once - perfect for those moments in the hotel lobby / cafe when you only have access to one plug point. This simple gadget has made working remotely so much easier - a must have for those who are always travelling with multiple devices!

5.) Atom Studios Flat + Mass and Weight, From £36.99
Available from Atom Studios, the Atom Studios Flat + Mass is a game-changing and robust charging accessory - perfect for those moments when your chair or bed is way too far from the plug socket (it’s a generous 1.8m in length).

The cable weight keeps your cable in place!

A lock ensures the button isn’t accidentally pushed while you’re on the go.

7.) Emberton Portable Speaker by Marshall, £129
We’re so impressed with the Emberton Portable Speaker by Marshall. Weighing just under 700g, this compact, water-resistant speaker boasts 20+ hours of portable playtime. Do not be fooled by the small size of this attractive speaker - it is powerful and loud when required, making it perfect for lazy days on the beach or drinks parties on a sunny terrace.

8.) Swim Shorts by Le Colonel X Vendredi, £59
French brand Le Colonel Moutarde have collaborated with Lille brand Vendredi on a limited edition swimsuit collection. We love the Lillois swim shorts for men (left) - simple and elegant sky-blue and white striped swim shorts with a beautiful fitted cut. You really can’t go wrong with this French classic. The Nordist swim shorts (right) feature a fun beer, fries and muscles print on an ultra-comfortable "peach skin" effect fabric. Both are a firm favourite of Mr Mayfair Musings!
9.) Marion Textured One-Piece with Buckle, £191
As far as holiday wardrobe staples go, you can’t go wrong with a beautiful black swimsuit. Miami-based Eberjey specialises in soft, chic and cleverly cut styles with a boho twist. We are loving the Marion one piece - a luxurious swimsuit in lightly textured fabric, offering a flattering fit, all-day comfort and UPF 50+. This ensures extra sun protection from UV rays - perfect for sunbathing and swimming.
