First things first, here are all the outfits I packed and wore in the South of France. OUTFIT 1: First up, is this white ensemble, Attersee vest and vintage skirt, as I try to embrace the effortless elegance of French style. Wore this for a day of walking and shopping in Nice. OUTFIT 2: Second runner up is my latest two-set outfit from Zhiggie I got in Saint Tropez and wore for the most decadent lunch at Eden Roc Restaurant at Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Cap d’ Antibes to celebrate our anniversary. I’m exceptionally happy with my purchase because it has been the quickest purchase without being familiar with a brand before I have ever made.
It was my gift from me to me for my birthday and husband praised and approved so had to get it. OUTFIT 3: This next dress I wore for a day of walking and eating our way through Marseille. The maxi was great for the cooler mornings and evenings, and it was breathable enough for the warmer day temperatures. Not sure if it’s because we actually went to the South of France this year, but I feel everyone else also went, which makes me so happy as we continue to see more places, restaurants, vineyards, and so much more we want to see next time we go. Whichever the option, summer is here to stay, and we need breathable pieces that give us that polished look.
From Marseille to Montecarlo and back, on this post, you can find all the links included of course. Hope this post provides some inspiration as you head somewhere warm or contemplate when your next escape is whether to the South of France or your nearest beach town. OUTFIT 4: This outfit is a must when heading to a beach or pool. An oversized shirt, linen is always a good idea to get a breathable outfit that you can go from lunch to beach, to pool and to dinner while looking fresh, put together but effortless. I wore this in Saint Tropez, Pampelonne Beach, Gigaro Beach in La Croix Valmer and while at the pool in Ramatuelle.
OUTFIT 5: I wore this Doen floral maxi while in Provence. It was perfect for a lunch al fresco at Domaine de Fontenille in Luberon Province. Also wore this to go to Domaine de Chalamon to embrace the Provencal countryside lifestyle. If you get to, I highly recommend you stay or at least dine in one of these locations. The service is great, the spaces are breathtaking and trust me when I say, the photos do not so it justice. From the moment you arrive, it’s a fairytale you didn’t know you needed.
OUTFIT 6: I love my Solid & Striped tunics or set pieces. The quality is fantastic, and I always feel put together in them. I wore this while lounging by the pool in Ramatuelle, to have al fresco breakfast every day. It’s just an easy outfit to toss on your bathing suit at any time. Provence and Saint Tropez were our favorite stops during our anniversary trip. We were in Saint Tropez for 5 days and it was better than we expected. Some people said it was overrated but it is not. We loved it. It’s expensive but if you do research and book in advance and go before the crowds flock in early June, you get quiet spaces, easy reservations and everything just flows.
OUTFIT 7: I wore this Forever New linen easy breezy dress to stroll around Saint Tropez town, get coffee (him), champagne (me) and tapas at Dior des Lices to kick off the day. We also went shopping because when in Saint Tropez right? This day we also went to Minuty and did a tasting. You get 4 complimentary tastings, reds, whites, roses. I of course requested to try all their 4 roses. We also had an afternoon cocktail at Café de Paris because it’s a classic and great for people watching.
OUTFIT 8: My Solid & Striped Oxford tunics are always in rotation in my closet, I have 3 different colors and always eyeing the next beauty that will join the pack. If you are in the area, don’t miss Pampelonne Beach, it’s famous in the French Riviera, it has the most legendary beach clubs and you can have delicious lunches with your toes dipped in the sand while enjoying a glass of rose or two and having the best view. Make sure to make a reservation in advance and soak it all in. you’ll love it. We stayed in Ramatulle and this was our sunset upon arrival every day, isn’t it lovely?
OUTFIT 9: Last but not least, another colorful maxi was the outfit of choice to walk around Aix-en-Provence for a few days. The town was very quaint, the shops, the plazas, the people, we loved it. We also took a drive to Gordes and were even more mesmerized by it. It’s smaller than Aix-en-Provence but so charming, so quiet, and it has Arielles Hotel with amazing restaurants and views that won’t believe your eyes.
