Back to France

Cannes, France

Hello sweet people!   Missing my French friends  and the beauty of the

amazing journey through France with girl friends.   My hope was to blog through

the vacation, However, Internet connections did not go well in the area of Nice and Provence.

Will post  some photos and little bits about the trip!

Still, on  busy days I sit and day dream I'm riding the train along the Mediterranean!

Cannes was much more crowded than I remember!  Blockades every where.

When I used to vacation there  there were barely any tourists just french

vacationers.   However, it still is a magical place on the ocean.  One

could feel, the thrill of  the  Elite Movie  Festival. Cannes has 12 hours of sun light

each day and sits on the Mediterranean.  We took a train from Nice (approx 30 min)

the views  were  dreamy! 

I purchased my first Chanel bag in Cannes! 

Au revoir!

 On our trip  to France we met  a lovely lady, Wendy Roehrig.  She  adored Chanel and made it over

to 31 Cambon in Paris.  Wendy just sent me photos of her with Coco Chanel

Thank you Wendy!

Emily in France

Hi Emily,   Enchante!  ( translation: Please to meet you!)

Hello, Just got back in the states after an exceptional  experience and vacation to France.   We met wonderful  people during our stay.  One lovely up and coming pretty model was Amanda and her grandmother Amy! She was kind enough to do some quick photo ops and you can see she has a great future ahead of her.   Couldn't resist the opportunity after seeing her in those shoes purchased in Nice!

By the way, my friends and I just missed the Paris haute couture Fashion shows,on July 5th.   Versace runway was showing beautiful sheers with threads of loving flower head pieces. See below

Took a photo through the doors of the GRAND PALAIS where employees

were setting up for a  fashion show

Flower market.   Maybe where Versace designers found influence in their collection

Thank You for posing Amanda!

France in June

Eiffel Tour at Night

Bonjour Loves! My girls trip to France began in Nice. The  south of France was perfect this time of year. I will be sharing many photos with you in the coming days. So far my favorite was Cassis on the French Rivera . 

 The heat in Paris on 4th of July  has been in the 90's.

The time walking around was  very busy with crowds of tourists. Thank goodness for over cast which made the heat  bearable.  We found an outdoor market today and picked up a lunch of Brie cheese,   loaf of bread,  fresh berries, olives and a fig.

So much for our Paris outfits that in a short time became drippy.

Summer Hair

Hair care for summer months!   Sun and  humidity can  change the texture of pretty hair.

How to decide what products work best for you!  Simply experiment.

To calm the frizzes I discovered  basic vaseline. A tiny amount  rubbed through

hair can add shine and manage humidity.

Love you summer and your hair!

Summer Trends

Hello my friends, I hope you are enjoying the pretty weather June.   Yesterday, I had  a project at the beach and I forgot how  beautiful the ocean water and white sand  calms the mind.

It made me want to enjoy all the treats of summer time.

  Summer Trends  are leaning towards clean  classic style, light sheers, pastels beige on whites, pretty blues , thin stripes in seer sucker fabrics. Linen blouses, Light floral sheer dresses and skirts.   I've seen long slim summer dresses with sandal and sneakers.  All pretty chic!! 

It's 7 AM and I am starting my day with a quick walk in the neighborhood.  See you soon!

Enjoy the weekend!
