Welcome to St. Tropez! The legendary Timati song made my summer (the original Russian version is far more amazing btw). Nothing screams more Cote d'Azur than a Russian guy in a Philipp Plein leather jacket driving around in a white Ferrari. ;) We didn't go to St. Tropez but Cannes and Monaco turned out to be even better. For centuries aristocrats visited the French Riviera dedicating poems, songs and art works to its incomparable beauty and elegance. It is the most breathtaking place in the world, so epic and sensational!
Nothing in the world will make you feel more like Blair Waldorf than a round of blackjack at Casino Monte Carlo (followed by dinner at Nobu.) ;) Guys, it is so worth a visit! We traveled around the entire coast and experienced the most unforgettable vacation ever! But let's take one at a time... ;) Today I will share my favourite snaps from Cannes and tomorrow we will go for Monte Carlo.
Taken at: InterContinental Carlton, Martinez, Baoli Beach, Galerie Bartoux, La Croisette
CANNES: The film festival, the celebrities, the red carpet, the hotels, la Croisette, the glamour - This is undeniably the most vivid city of Southern France. There are millions of ways to entertain yourself. Shopping, clubbing, most importantly swimming and just chilling all day long at Bâoli beach - It's paradise on earth! What surprised me most was this feeling of home. I could totally see myself moving to Cannes. When you drink coffee at the Carlton Cafe, overlooking the sea, feeling the breeze, surrounded by billionaires and Arabian princesses and princes you're just like: LIFE IS GOOD! ;) I am so thankful. What is your ultimate Cannes hotspot? Let me know! One thing is for sure, I'll be back! Promis... ;)
Grace Kelly... one of the most iconic women of the 20th century. Her aura enlightened the world. There are so many great words for her... Queen, Goddess, Flawless Beauty, Style Icon, Designer Muse, Inspiration or Fairytale Princess. But are these words actually doing her justice? Isn't she so much more than that? To me Grace Kelly is an angelic beauty, a woman who proved that fairy tales exist, even though life ain't easy. Everything comes at a price. And still... love can save the world, and an image of a fairytale princess can make millions of girls find hope.
The creators of Grace of Monaco managed to protect 'the grace of the Grace'. I loved the movie! Nicole Kidman was sensational, she is such a talent! The camera loves her and so does the audience. Her performance was truly Oscar worthy. She is unbelievably gorgeous and no one could have done it better. Playing Gracia Patricia is not an easy task. Nicole was wonderful, she's got that look and Old Hollywood elegance. Perfect!
Obviously I have a little crush on Tim Roth, who played Rainier III, Prince of Monaco. A dashing, cigarette smoking, powerful man in a tailored suit, I got no résistance. ;)
There is only one thing as beautiful as Monaco and La Kidman is this movie: The exquisite fashion, la mode! The clothes are so stunning, pure perfection! Glamorous cocktail dresses and fancy yacht parties, chatting with Maria Callas while Onassis is on the phone making millions - C'est la vie en rose! We enjoyed the movie so much, and we totally belong on that yacht, right? ;)
GLORIA PALAST MÜNCHEN, Thank you for an amazing Ladies Night my Dear, Princess 4 life ;)
Lessons learned? Sometimes it's important to believe in a fairy tale, in order to hope for love and find the strength to fight for our dreams. Never give up, there's always a way, find your inner queen and protect your believes. Ladies, let's be our own role model. And Grace... thank you for your beauty, your smile and for being a woman to look up to... Cheers to epic love!
