Jayme Jo Massoud’s essential guide to summer 2018/19

With summer well and truly starting to heat up in Australia and with Christmas just around the corner, we decided to get some tips on how to best maximise the good times this season with a chat to someone who knows all about making the most out of every day – Jayme Jo Massoud.

Putting the dancer, performer and social media influencer to the test, we teamed up with Universal Store to get Jayme’s low-down on this summer’s greatest hits – from her favourite summer haunts to the songs she’ll have on repeat…

What are your favourite summer hang-out spots?
I am obsessed with Bondi Beach and also love the Central Coast.

What’s on your summer playlist?
I love the Aussie artist Kaiit – so literally anything she sings, as well as Sabrina Claudio.

How would you describe your summer style?
I love to wear super colourful clothes that fit perfectly over swimmers. I am also obsessed with any type of cropped singlet.

What are your top 3 Universal Store picks for summer?
I am obsessed with the green mesh off-the-shoulder top because the colour makes my skin tone pop. The Token Envy Resin Earrings are also such a statement and they match so well with the top. My third pick is definitely the platform Converses. They go with so many outfits and add a sporty twist to my summer looks.

What do you love about Australian summer and the festive season?
I love going to the beach everyday as well as the gift of giving over Christmas.

How do you celebrate with loved ones during the festive season?
I have such a big Lebanese family and each year we celebrate together over lots of food and games.

If you could be reunited with a loved one for Christmas, who would it be and why?
I actually am lucky enough to reunite with my oldest cousin this year for Christmas. She is back from London, yay!!

What have you asked for from Santa this Christmas?
I have asked for a fun summer of adventures this year… plus some clothes because I can never get enough!
