    I'm not the one who constantly has her picture taken, but there are some pics of me on the first part of my trip, to French Polynesia, where some of my more recently bought vintage came in extremely handy! It was so hot, and during the day also humid, and though nobody there wears a suit or expect you to wear a suit, it was still a buisness trip so dressing nicely was still expected... at least all this didn't take up a lot of space in my limited luggage!

    Just arrived in Bora Bora! I bought this cute 50s cotton blouse from Bette's Bargains (yes, the black jacket is the same again - it had to endure a lot of lugging around!).

    After the feet-in-the-sand dinner at the beach, second night in Bora Bora - the cute brocade blouse I showed here. Sorry for the photo quality!

    The dress from London went too and got a few outings in Taha'a, Tahiti and Sydney. I thought it was fitting with that print :).

    You look great, Karin! And if vintage can travel so handsomely in Bora Bora, really, it's good to go anywhere!

    Linda, have you ever actually tried to wear a coconut bikini :)? It must be difficult! These girls there are really all so beautiful, and the way they move when they dance is just amazing!

    We stayed in a different hotel each night (and about 2 nights per island) and had more hotel visits/inspections in between - pretty hectic, but we still had a bit of time to ourselves here and there. It does put a strain on luggage and what's in there, but it all survived. Vintage goes everywhere :headbang:!
