You are so nice, and both of those handbags were a good choice!
A beautiful place I’ve been is a place called Baguio in the Philippines. If you’ve ever seen rice terraces, they are just magnificent! Baguio has a lot of them, and the weather there is also a bit cooler than the rest of the tropical country, so you have to wear sweaters there!
Oh, it’s sooo cute! I’m glad you had such a good time in Thailand. It was your first time out of South Africa, right?
Lots of places are beautiful, but one of my favourite beautiful places is North Yorkshire, England, where my father grew up. As the earliest follower of my blog you might remember some of my first posts about the area! : )
Anthea, this is stunning!
The most beautiful place I’ve been is Keswick in the Lake District in the UK. It was too beautiful for words!
so happy to have you back Anthea!
this bag is really cute =) enter me! I visited Greece with two girl friends of mine a few year ago, we studied Classical studies in uni which was all about Greek and Roman history, literature, mythology, and arts… we all found Greece to be the most beautiful place in the world, and the people there were so friendly and welcoming, so yeah I would definitely say Greece is my fav!
what an exciting giveaway! sounds like you had such fun, we backpacked Thailand last year and reading your posts has brought back so many memories!! xx
Yes please. Love the bag
oh wow, super cute bag! I will tell you about where I am visiting right now – the south island of New Zealand in a place called Hanmer springs in the mountains. There are geothermal pools to swim in, rafting, hikes, I’m going horse riding tomorrow and it is ridiculously beautiful and serene – we have added an extra day to our trip
Anthea, this bag is so awesome.
One of the most beautiful places that I have visited is local – in the Western Cape is a place called Gondwana, and it is breathtakingly beautiful. Rolling hills and mountains covered in colourful Fynbos flowers. Sunset here is just amazing, the pastel colours stretch across the sky, and you can hear jackals calling as you take in the beauty of one of south Africa’s best kept secrets. Its the simple things in life that can bring such pleasure.
Oooh – pretty!
If I have to pick the most beautiful place I’ve been it’s Norwegian Lapland. I went there with a few friends two years ago and it’s so isolated, beautiful mountains, pine forests, fjords, snow – and need I mention the Northern Lights? It’s a fantasy in real life and makes me travelsick (opposite of homesick) whenever I think about it.
Love your blog!
Love the bag!
Mauritius! One of my best holidays ever. Ile Aux Cerfs is breathtaking.

And I tweeted.
oooh….enter me. that bag is awesome!
One of the most beautiful places i have ever been is the Greek Island of Skopolos. It was ridiculously perfect when i went 9 years ago. The water was crystal. I took boat rides, saw dolphins jumping about, tanned until i was a golden brown, ate lots of olives (which grew all over the place) and never ever wanted to leave *sigh* one day I will go back….I absolutely have to.
A quick fact about the place: Years after my trip they filmed the movie “Mama Mia” there.
Great bag!
There’s some lovely places up in the Mountains in the southern part of Taiwan. But I still love the sight of my home town Hexvalley with its patchwork effect created by the differant colours of the vineyards, as you come through the cutting, the most.
I haven’t been overseas yet, but I don’t have to – because I stay in the most beautiful country in the world!! Proudly South African!!
Anthea, I hope the bag is mine
LOVE that bag, and My FAVE place is Singapore
Kisses

A place where I have been twice and I loved it is “Cartagena de Indias” en Colombia.
It has a beautiful colonial zone, great nightlife, and friendly people. A really nice place to visit!

Hi Anthea,
That is a gorgeous hand bag …I am in love.
The most beautiful place I have been to recently is Mozambique. Love the climate and the people and cannot wait to visit it again someday!
Man, totally glad I stubbled on your blog. Love the pics.
Spent a month in Italy. Would love to go back. Feel like I have unfinished business. There’s so much more that I’d love to see in Rome.
What a sweet giveaway!! I absolutely adore the bag. I’ve been to Bangkok too when I was about 11 and it was such a cool trip! I think the most beautiful place I’ve been to is Japan and we went to the Fuji mountain. There are literally clouds running through the mountain and the whole experience was surreal! xoxoxoo
The bag is gorgeous, as are your photos from Thailand!
The most beautiful place I’ve been to has to be Jerusalem. The culture everywhere, and the architecture.. It’s a truly magnificent place
xx
That bag is amazing… I love the pretty floral with a studs and a that big strap buckle! What an unusual and amazing piece of fashion! AWESOME find! You really have an eye for fashion!
Well, even though I live here, I think South Africa, Cape Town is amazing! Clear blue sea’s, white soft sand, big green mountains and forests! and amongst it all there’s sophisticated towns and cities! Love it! best of both worlds!
Oh wow! Me wants! The prettiest place i have ever been to …hmmm, Lucern, Switzerland!
Oh how cute!Loving the floral pattern:)
Well lets so the most gorgeous place I have been to is………..Venice,Italy.Such a beautiful city!
xx
The bag is stunning!! If I had to choose a dreamy place other than Cape Town itself then it would have to be Versailles…the palace gardens, in fact. What awesome memories I have of my overseas trip!
I live in Cape Town . . .
but. . . .
beach front swimming pools, casual local resturants with the sea water washing up onto your feet as you eat, clubs on the sand, stalls selling clothing all along the beach road, Brazillian soccer team eating breakfast with you . . . Maputo, Mocambique. Amazing!

What a pretty bag.
Anthea, the most beautiful place I’ve seen is the tops of the Swiss Alps!!! Whilst visiting family in Switzerland, we went snowboarding and as far as your eye could see, the world was covered with snow-topped mountains. I’ve never ever felt so tiny. Really Awesome!!!
This bag is absolutely breathtaking! I adore the floral print. The most gorgeous place I’ve been is Bermuda. Everything there is so bright, colorful, and pristine. It was the perfect place to honeymoon for my hubby and me:)
I LOVED Thailand, so amazing. My favourite place ever, and I am dying to go there again…..is Rio de Janiero. It is heavenly. You feel so free and amazing. You can sip coconut juice, right out of a coconut, whilst tanning on Copacabana Beach. Everyone is carefree and confident. You will see huge women in tiny string bikinis, looking gorgeous. Besides the beauty of the sea and the mountains (only other city to have this besides Cape Town) I love the way that I feel in Rio.

Stunning bag! I must say Sodwana Bay was really the most memorable of my destinations..Diving amongst the most beautuiful marine life including a gigantic whale shark was absolutely unforgettable!
London outskirts, 11 pm in the middle of a June summer, sipping tea in your cousins back yard, listening to the chirps of blackbirds singing in the dead of night
please can I win the beautiful bag?
