Mallorca Photography

Some randomly taken and randomly edited photos I took in Palma de Mallorca. It really is such a beautiful place! There was a wedding taking place where my dad and I were walking so I stole a couple shots :).

Stockholm!

In-between my days in sunny Mallorca, I took a quick week trip to Stockholm. Surprisingly enough, the weather was quite nice and all the trees were in bloom. Unfortunately I didn't have my Nikon with me to take some decent photos so phone pictures had to suffice.

Our purpose for going was my grandfather's 85th birthday. We celebrated with a variety of outstanding dishes prepared by my mother and grandmother, and finished with two of my homemade cakes :)

Nails!

Nails can be a wonderful accessory! I love to play around with ideas, basic, new and daring. A couple snapshots of my latest experiments. I'm still only a newbie at nail painting with no special kits or tools, I think I can still get by! Just gotta be creative :)

Oh, Luxury

Palma is definitely the home to many a wealthy fellow. The ports lined with million Euro yachts and the streets lined with million Euro cars. Needless to say the breath-taking homes speak for themselves, lined with marble and big glass windows. This cosy little island of luxury is a place to be appreciated!

New Ring :)

It's always nice to find a piece of jewelry unique, adorable and fashionable all at the same time. Nothing beats a little kitty hugging your finger :)

Palma de Mallorca!

After spending one month in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin enjoying warm weather and spending a few weekends with my wonderful man, I have moved my residence to Palma, Spain for the next 2 months! With slightly cool, but wonderfully sunny days, I am settling into a cute flat with a big terrace overlooking hills of houses, trees and a sprawling ocean.

View from my window :)

And, of course, food! I have had some of the most wonderful food here including a pizza in the shape of the heart (because the waiter thought my mother and I were pretty girls :).)

Beef carpaccio with garlic alli-oli and ruccula, baked goat cheese with grilled veggies and mussels in white wine with diced vegetables.

Going Home!

This is my last weekend in Macau! I have started the (hopeless) packing process. I am absolutely overwhelmed. It seems I may have to send on bag via DHL back to Chicago due to it being overweight...and not everything is packed yet. Oops! So the most important things will go in one suitcase and the other one will simply have to arrive in a week (oh the heartache!).

The weather here has been depressing and sunless. I have been unable to see across the water in close to 2 weeks with the heavy fog and humidity. I'm hoping for lots of snow and sunshine in Chicago! For now I must rest. Packing an excessive amount of clothing and accessories (amongst which I realized I have accumulated about 10 pairs of shoes here...) can be very exhausting! But I will be home on monday I can relax and be happy :)
