We walked along the Promenade des Anglais and took in the magnificent view of the Baie des Anges. I learned that the Promenade was originally created to offer a pleasant stroll along the Baie des Anges for the English gentry in the 19th century.

This Mediterranean Sea water is one of the most beautiful crystal clear blue water I have ever seen. DSC_3077

It’s not easy walking on these rocks… DSC_3085

I felt like I was walking like this chair.

A few steps from my hotel is this gorgeous shop that had many of my favorite designer’s works of art.  There were so many beautiful, dazzling dresses, outfits and shoes… it was dreamy.

Then this dress. I couldn’t take my eyes off of.

The sales people were so nice and inviting (they were actually celebrating something with champagnes and cakes and even offered us some) I almost, almost tried this dress on.

I regret i didnt’. 😛

I flew to Monaco last night solo on a business trip. It was super hard leaving my kids and Andrew this time more than any other time I did in the past. Maybe because it’s international and I don’t normally fly this far or maybe because kids are now older and they expressed more how much they’re going to miss me…:(DSC_2519 DSC_2522 DSC_2524 DSC_2525 DSC_2527 DSC_2530 DSC_2531 DSC_2534 DSC_2535 DSC_2538 DSC_2540

This is one beautiful city.

Honestly, I was not feeling too well and was so tired, that I even arrived late to the event. Thanks to my cutest assistant Chloe, set up and clean up was  a breeze. She set up my jewelry table all by herself while I was  enjoying the tea in the dining room.

How did I get so lucky with this beautiful girl… IMG_1534

 

Thank you Cathy for the delicious food and tea you prepared for us!
