At the Beach {Denmark}


We are out in the Danish countryside with dependable wifi for the moment, so I thought I would try out a blogging app from my iPad for a quick post.

We're having beautiful warm and sunny weather after just a little rain when we first arrived. We've been shopping on Stroget in Copenhagen - one of my must-dos when we visit... Found some great things at Zara and the department store Illum. Ilum has a Reiss section inside where I was able to check out one of Kate's lovely dresses (the tan one she wore when meeting the Obamas; they had UK 6 and 12 in stock as of Saturday)... And bought a great grey striped cotton/cashmere pullover - my first Reiss item.

I already have so many photos from Copenhagen, Trelleborg, family meals (the food here is amazing) and two trips to the beach. I will put together some more organized posts with pictures when I am back at a computer but for now I think I can figure out a quick check in now and then when I'm up early :) We have more adventures planned for today!

I hope everyone is starting out a wonderful week.

xoxo

  2. Congrats on your purchase from Reiss! I think, Kate seems to favor Whistles and Reiss the most among the British high-street brands.

    I've relocated back to London just recently. There was so much hype here about Kate and Will's visit to US.

    I loved almost all of Kate's dresses on this visit, especially the lime green DVF dress that she wore. It looked beautiful!

    Have a fantastic holiday!

  7. Oh how I Love Illum. I used to travel to Denmark for business and always scheduled a weekend stay over so I could shop the Stroget in Copenhagen.

  8. Dear Sparrows&Sparkle,
    your photograph is the essence of 'Summer at the Seaside". Enjoy your holiday (and manage to get all your good buys into the airplane :-)
