Sisters in Nice

Spent the afternoon in Nice, one of my favourite places on the Cote d'Azur. It has so much charm from it's luxury fashion boutiques to the old town antiques market and shopping lanes. I'm going to stay there for a few days with my friends post-party so will be able to do some exploring of Nice's nightlife and what there is to discover on more of a student's budget. 

Here is today's ootd featuring my sister (right) who is shockingly 4 years younger than me but taller, chilling in the cooling mists of Nice's Place Massena...

Marina Baie des Anges - a.k.a our favourite beach spot

The Marina Baie des Anges has stunning architecture that when I was little I used to try and recreate with lego bricks. My mum lived there as a girl with her family which is pretty cool and I think I lived a couple of months there as a baby. But buildings aside it is always one of our favourite beach spots on the Cote d'Azur.

Okay the beach is pebbly which is not the most comfortable but the water is so deep blue and clean and you can get the nicest Pain Bagnat (a Nicoise specialty sandwich).

 

I got this top on the right for £5 when I was back in England. I am in love with it. The sequins, the words which are just what anyone is thinking all summer long; the perfect beach coverup. 

From the beach you can look across the bay and see all the way along the coast to Nice. Even if it clouds over it still looks pretty impressive don't you think?

 If I could send a postcard to anyone whenever I am on the beach here I think this is what it would say:

Although I don't wish everyone was there because then it would be busy and lose it's serenity and it's beautiful calmness, and I would like to keep this little secret all mine.

South of France Summer

So, after a little delay, I am back on my blog. Apologies for the absence. Here's what happened since I last blogged:

- England crashed out of the world cup in possibly our worst world cup effort ever.
- I finished my first year of uni, and passed all my first year exams (phew!)
- I have now taken up my usual summer residence in the south of France and will continue to blog from here on all about my summer.

This year I'm not in Paris so I suppose that's not so cool but we have a mini-festival/party happening in 3 weeks with loads of friends and family so I am very excited about that and will be updating you with all the developments and antics as they unfold.

Here's a couple of photos of our beautiful new pool, when it was empty and as it started to fill up:

I'm sorry but does that look lush or does that look lush??

Let summer commence!
