Caprice vintage

This is kind of a bonus post from my French Riviera trip! While visiting Nice with my Mum and brother, we discovered a tiny vintage shop in the old town, called Caprice Vintage, full of lovely treasures. We were about to go out when we spotted this stunning 50's dress. You guys know how much I am fond of this style, I think it's extremely feminine and flatters any woman's body. I tried it on just for fun and the lovely lady from the shop allowed us to take a few pictures. I wanted to share it with you, and as I didn't buy it (I would really have needed one or two extra centimeters to the bust and waist to breath comfortably and I am a little too tall :p)  It's still available! I would definitely see it as a gorgeous informal wedding dress. I am SO sad I could not get it, I loved it so so much and will most likely try to copy it and perhaps even make a DIY here ;)

DIY embellished espadrilles

Did you also watch with interest the massive espadrilles trend taking over the blogosphere this Summer? Chanel and Vuitton luxury'a take on this classical hot days and beach shoes from the Pays Basque definitely brought it back in trend. I would definitely have purchased a good pair of Vuitton's ones but I'm not sure my banker would have been happy with it. I had forgotten about my frustration until I went on the French Riviera and bumped into a small shop in old Nice, selling dozens of different colors for only 10 euros. I didn't hesitate for a second and picked this denim version, handmade please. I decided later on to customize it and make more urban appropriate. Follow the steps and get your own personal design ;)

Kerylos

Last pictures of my trip to the French Riviera! On the third day, we decided to go to Beaulieu-sur-mer and visit this amazing Greek villa, built in the early 20th by and Hellenist, based on the model of antique villas in Delos. The decor is stunning, there are lovely mosaics and what is interesting is a little modern touch, like electricity or piped water. I can totally see myself living there, at the end of a rock over the sea! Again, I decided to pick an outfit whose colors would match the scenery, safran, brick red and beige. Do you like it? :)
