Holiday outfits

I really didn't want to come home again! It was my fifth or sixth visit to the beautiful Spanish island Mallorca, and as always it was too short! The weather was perfect, clear blue sky, temperature in the eighties and nineties (Fahrenheit) or between 27 and 37 degrees Celsius, with a light breeze. The Mediterranean was unbelievable - so I'm all wrinkled now because I stayed in for hours! I don't have tons of outfit photos as most of the time was spent in my swimsuit, playing with the children in the family. But I do have a few:

Leaving Denmark

























Monday evening

























Wednesday at Porto Christo

























Friday on the balcony






































Somehow I've lost a couple of outfit photos, so I'm just adding a few shots from our Wednesday tour to the caves and around the lower mountains in the North of the island.



Stalactites in all sizes, the Porto Christo caves


























Streets of Porto Christo















My husband and I taking photos


















My daughter and my husband checking the results


























My lovely daughter

























One week just passes so fast. It's just not enough! And with the weather that greeted us at the airport when we got back we're seriously considering emigrating - to somewhere HOT!

Meanwhile I'm consoling myself with all the lovely Visible Monday outfits at the Not Dead Yet Style blog - come have a look!

    I love Mallorca, we have been several times and always enjoy it. We usually go to the north of the island, Puerto Pollenca. But I love Soller too, and Palma.
    You look lovely and relaxed in holiday mode. Your daughter is beautiful, and I see she has inherited your sense of style and colour, and love of shoes! xxx

      Thank you so much Curtise! We stayed in Alcudia, just South of Puerto Pollenca. It has the most incredible beach, but isn't as charming as Puerto Pollenca. I wouldn't mind going right back this very minute though!

      Thank you so much Sacramento! I do love England too but this summer we all just needed the sunny weather and the heat so much - and it really felt so good! We may even go to Spain again in a couple of months...

      Thank you so much Anne! I wish I could send you a bit of sunshine, but I had to travel thousands of miles to get some myself! Now I'm back to wearing sweaters, socks, boots, scarves... In July!

      Thank you very much Vix! I'm only glad to be able to spread a bit of sunshine... I can only recommend going abroad - just don't settle for one week, it's not enough! And remember: Your not alone in this rotten summer weather, Scandinavia is experiencing the exact same rain and low temperatures!

      Thank you so much Jean! I was memorable, also because it would have been my parents 25th. anniversary in the middle of our vacation week, had my step dad not passed away this April.

    Looks like your daughter shares your love for beautiful fabrics. You look great in every photo too. I'm on vacation with my two sons currently at a huge waterpark. I'm water logged!!

      Thank you very much Joni! Water and children - a classic combination! Yes, my daughter loves clothes, and handbags especially, which she hasn't got from me!

      Thank you so much Narda! The green tunic is made here in Denmark, in a very light weight silk fabric which made it perfect for the heat - I hope I get to wear again soon!

      Thank you very much Terri! I do hope you get to go on vacation some time soon! I've always loved visiting other parts of the world - Hans Christian Andersen said that "to travel is to live" and I totally agree!

      Thank you so much Izzy! We all enjoyed ourselves a lot, and wished we had another week there! I do think you can have almost the same in Denmark this year - you've really managed to time your visit with the best weather we've seen in years! Please don't by all the Pataugas shoes this year!
