Aaaand… we’re off to Thailand!
My first time there and I’m stupidly excited about seeing a new part of the world. Here are a few of the things I’m taking with me.
| Leather espadrilles from Lika Mimika. When heels don’t feel comfortable anymore, go for luxe flats, that’s my (new) motto.
| Kaftan from Rodebjer. I’m not really sure why I’m bringing anything else on the trip. This tent of a garment is so comfortable and airy, I’ll want to wear it every day.
| Hamam towels from Ottomania. They don’t take up a lot of room in the suitcase and work as a beach cover-up as well.
| Assorted coconut bangles. Because when else am I going to wear these? One that James brought back for me once from Fiji. I can’t remember where the other one came from.
| Pool sliders from Ancient Greek Sandals. Thanks for the tip, Jessie!
| Sunnies from Céline. Old, still golden.
| Bal D’Afrique from Byredo. The scent of summer.
| Passport holder from & Other Stories. Using this somehow makes flying feel that little bit more glamourous.
| Bikini from Princesse TamTam. Buying swimwear when six months pregnant (or in any situation) – not as horryfying as you expect when you let the women at Blush Berlin help you. Easiest bikini buy of my life.
| „Swimming Studies“ by Leanne Shapton. I’ve picked up the horrible habit of reading on my iPhone before going to sleep. Time to focus on printed letters again.
| Dress from the Isabel Marant x H&M collection. Maybe my friend was being kind the other day when she said that this dress actually looks better on a pregnant person than a non-pregnant one. I believe her anyway.
See you on Koh Yao Noi.

Safe travels! We stayed on Noi at the Elixir two years ago and loved it. Just got back from Krabi on wednesday and I have to say Thailand is just amazing. Enjoy and lets see pics of the belly! Xox

Hi Marlene,
what sunscreen did you use for your face? I’m struggling with my research and you seem to be as fair as I am. Do you probably have a recommendation?
Thank you and a lot of fun with little Arlo!

Hi Peggy! I used the Kiehl’s Ultra Light Daily UV Defense for a long time, but just before this holiday I discovered one which I like even better: Face Protection from Ultrasun. The only one I’ve found which is completely non-greasy and doesn’t give those pesky “sunscreen pimples”. I add a little bit of face serum on top for extra moisture. Have a lovely summer!

Thank you so much!
