If only real life were as straightforward as virual life. I mean, this new toy of mine, Polyvore, allows one to pick out items from just about anywhere, some of them sold out already or one of a kind or... whatever!
All this is but a game thus far, of course. I don't own any of these items apart from the British passport and a set of miniature bottles/jars suitable for transporting toiletries in one's hand luggage. I do own an assortment of things that are at least vaguely similar, however. For example, the swimming costume (and you never can tell, there is a hugely slim change that we might opt to take a dip in our hotel swimming pool) is one of those very clever M&S jobs that works to make one's stomach look flatter than it really is. I bought one in kind of a leapard print pattern for a trip Gorgeous Husband and I were making to Bangkok the year before last, and I must say it helped me to feel quite remarkably glamorous all the while I was poolside. Realistically, I don't imagine it could be made to double up as a top to wear during the evening though, not even on a beach holiday; it's too difficult to wrap a skirt around without everything getting so bunched up it's uncomfortable. The trick really, as we all know, is to stick with a fairly limited, preferably neutral - i.e. black / tan / navy / your pick - colour palatte and only aim to liven things up with accessories.
