Mediterranean Princesses

Josephine caught up with her girls at the beach yesterday.

My darling daughter wanted to get into the water so bad yesterday. It did look very inviting and some of our brave friends went in. I on the other hand think it is a little too cold still...

Little mediterranean princesses!






YSL - Accessorize!


What do you do without the girls?

The other night I met the girls for dinner at La SaliéreI miss them so much when we are away from Monaco, so happy I get to catch up with you all! What do you do without the girls?
Love you all!

Mmmm Monaco

Lunch break at the beach. Note Bleue is a nice lunch spot at Larvotto Beach in Monaco.

These things I took for granted living here, now that I don't it feels like such luxury.

Monaco is a little paradise.

Zen

After a few days of chaos I feel a little more zen. To make along story short. We missed our flight from Austin Friday afternoon...you're standing at the airport with your family, packed bags and ready to leave and then the check in lady says your flight already left...??? Heartbreaking!

But, we're here now and this is the wonderful view from our office. Lots of kisses from a sunny Monaco!

Snapshot of the Day

Oh la la...what a weekend! So many parties and activities, I feel...let's say, a little bit weak right now.
I'm dying for some well needed sleep! Can't wait to get horizontal. 

Our friends hosted some fabulous pool parties this weekend, really lovely. 
All good things come to an end, and it's time to re-group. We have a big week a head. Natti natti.

TRIO

Last night we had a great evening with our friends Robert and Courtney.

We tried the Four Seasons restaurant Trio. We dined al fresco in their gardens, so nice.
Try it now before it gets too hot outside, we were saved by a very comfortable breeze last night.

Thank you guys for an exceptional evening, tons of fun as always!

Did Tory Burch hear my wish?

A few days ago I wrote about the new Tory Burch Robinson satchel and what do you think arrived in the mail today?
$50 gift card for mothers day! This might have made my decision just a tiny bit easier.
Don't you just love a good deal!?




Deal or Steal #2

Peplum dresses. Seeing this model on the hanger did not excite me at all, putting it on, a whole different story, super cute! Also incredibly useful, works as an all-round dress. Dress up or down.

ZARA - Splits, Asymmetric or Pleated


Snapshot of the Day


The two loves of my life, so blessed!

Picture day at school.

We all know how Americans love love love to have a million photos of their family ALL a around the house, very well documented walls over here ;)

Even though I don't like to have photos all over the house, I do love the fact that Josie has been photographed by her daycare twice a year since she was 9 months old! Once less thing to think about.
Thumbs up!

She was all smiles this morning, swinging her dress around, such a munchkin!! :)
(Proud mommy, I know...)

Noelle Bean


This lovely lady has a road full of excitement in front of her. I was introduced to Bean and her music a while back and fell for her songs right away, they just stick with you.
Listen to her music and check out her official website here or follow her on Facebook and Twitter.

Lots of love!
