  • ..........full of energy and with lots of holiday packing tips to share with you as well as what I got up to on my third visit, in a year, to Lanzarote! Jack is forgiven, I had nearly as good a time as I have in Australia! I hope this finds you well and feeling positive for a better new year. Suzi x
    USEFUL INFO.
    My hotel: www.h10hotels....
    The fabulous daisy earrings were part of the H&M launch designed by Iris Apfel, and sold out in two hours! You may find them on eBay.
    GOOD SHOPS FOR CLOTHES IN SPAIN
    Zara, Koala Bay, Desigual, and more independents in Marina Rubicon.
    The market in the Marina is every Weds. and Sat.
    The white jacket was bought from Target in Australia many years ago!
    The green jumpsuit: loveurlook.co.uk/
    The jeans are from GAP
    And I'm proud to say that not one item I took with me was new, most were very old or bought in Lanzarote in the last couple of visits! Wish I could say the same going back home! x

    Hello Suzi! Happy 2023💕. How wonderful that you enjoyed your time in Lanzarote with warmer weather. Had some really cold weather here then high winds & thunderstorms and snow the last few days.
    Maybe seeing your lovely vacation will bring us virtual warm weather.
    So glad Jack is doing well, looking forward to seeing you both walking in your next vlog. Any sighting of Fox's babies? Your clothies were great & the poofy sleeves really add to the new dress you showed. The bling bling outfit is very nice! Have a wonderful week and good health for all of us this year. 💕
