europe is a diverse continent, full of different cultures and lifestyles, which doesn't mean there isn't a european identity. but there really is a spirit in europe's southernmost countries that makes them love summer. it's the rituals we've been repeating since childhood, the first dives, playing in the streets long after bedtime while listening to our parents laugh on the terraces, that we want to repeat and replicate now that we're adults. perhaps it is because this spirit is infectious that so many tourists visit us and enjoy these moments with the same gusto. if it weren't for the beautiful beaches, warm water islands or delicious food, this free summer spirit would be reason enough. it doesn't matter whether the destination is mykonos, mallorca or comporta, there's a very distinctive look that sticks to these places. floaty dresses, beautiful linen shirts, espadrilles or greek sandals and, of course, jewellery. we don't give them up even on the sand, shinning on our sun-kissed skin. this is our mood all summer long. here is our ultimate vacation shop list.
