Tees & Stripes

Black and Whites stripes are all the rage right now.  One problem I have heard many ladies encounter is how to wear them.  I got these striped jeans at "Bee Hive" a local boutique and thought they would go brilliantly with my Celine tee that my husband and I bought while visiting Paris last month.  Celine stores are a dime a dozen over there and full of everything beautiful!!!  I saw this tee and had to have it since it's so versatile and so incredibly soft!

I paired the jeans with this tee for the obvious reason that it too is black and white.  Then I put it with a bunch of gold and black jewelry and voila!  I have also seen these jeans with flowy white tops and pops of color.  A lot of girls are wearing them with neons, if you have some…go for it.  I am a pretty conservative dresser and neon is not a color that I have a plethora of in my wardrobe.  This outfit is about as edgy and "hip" as it gets for me!  Although, I have started to wear knuckle rings, which to me is super edgy!  It's important to step slightly outside of your comfort zone when pulling together the perfect ensemble.  However, if you are too uncomfortable, you won't carry yourself with the confidence it takes to pull it off and you will seem as awkward as you feel!  I don't ever leave the house until my gut tells me it's a good choice.  I'm a fashion weirdo!

Spontaneity Is the Spice of Life!

Sorry it's been a few days since my last post.  We have been changing cities almost daily since being in the South of France, so there's rarely time to blog!

Here we are, heading to the train station in Paris.

Since my last post,  we have visited Nice, Cannes & St Tropez.  We rented a sweet little 1956 Mercedes SL 190 and have been cruising to nearby hot spots!

Cruising our ride to the city of Grasse to visit the Fragonard Perfumier Museum!

When Chris and I travel,  we are known for driving an hour or two away from our hotel to a cool spot and deciding to stay with nothing but the clothes we wore to town! Yesterday, we drove to St Tropez and laid out on the beach all afternoon.  We then decided to stay the night.  It's an hour and a half away from our hotel in Nice,  so staying the night sounded more fun than driving back at the end of the day!

Luckily St Tropez is known as a tiny city with big city amenities.  They have to be with the kind of people that frequent there. So since all we had were the clothes on our backs, we had to do some shopping to buy all of the comforts of home for the night.  Unfortunately for Chris,  I'm not low maintenance!

By the end of our shopping trip  to buy toiletries, perfume, makeup, clothes & undies, it was time to shower and hit the town.

We enjoyed a late dinner and walking through the tiny streets of this vintage town!

We woke up to the most beautiful ocean view and had breakfast over looking the Mediterranean!

After that, we headed back to Nice to catch some sun and spend the day on the beach here.

Back in Nice.

We found all of this amazing Sea Glass!  I was obsessed,  the ocean just happens to producer glass in all of my favorite colors!:)

Off to bed now,  I'm sun burned, tired & we are heading to Monaco and Italy tomorrow!  After that,  we are heading home to see our furry babies!!
