Fashion and Style
Discover the beauty of French Riviera style, where glamour meets comfort effortlessly.
Wondering what you should pack? My advice: prioritise practicality without compromising elegance. Opt for chic, flat shoes. Especially espadrilles for those enchanting evening meals; a touch of dressiness without sacrificing comfort! 👜
In destinations like St Tropez, it’s a laid-back chic vibe with airy dresses and stylish hats. Capture the essence of Riviera fashion by selecting pieces that seamlessly blend style and ease.
Your Seasonal Fashion Guide
Here in the French Riviera, mastering the art of seasonal dressing is a must! 👒
Our warmer seasons calls for a variety of breezy clothing essentials which will allow you to keep cool and stylish. I like my sundresses, lightweight tops, maxi skirts, and light jackets!
During autumn and winter it’s best to wear a comfy pair of shoes with a cute sweater or blazer. Although the winter is mild, I would still suggest you bring your warm scarves and coats!
Wardrobe Staples for Riviera Living
Here in the French Riviera we are all about blending style and comfort! I’d suggest going for lightweight fabrics that allow you to gracefully navigate this warm climate, while still remaining laid-back and elegant. Add flowing sundresses, breathable linen shirts, and tailored shorts into your daily attire. These pieces not only ensure comfort during casual strolls, but also exude a timeless Riviera chic that effortlessly transitions from day to night.
You can also never go wrong with a flowy dress, or tailored resort wear ensemble paired with comfortable yet stylish sandals. This ensures you're ready for an evening of sophistication without compromising on comfort. The same goes for your swimwear! Choose a swimsuit that can double as a cute and stylish top. 👙
My Favourite Local Shops
Firstly, Maje and Sandro. These two brands, so very similar in style and price, both exude Parisian chic. Their collections are a blend of timeless elegance and youthful exuberance, offering pieces that effortlessly transition from day to night. I find myself reaching for their classic yet playful designs time and time again, a testament to their enduring appeal. 😍
Now, let's not forget about Fragonard! Oh, the French charm of this brand is simply irresistible. From quirky details to impeccable quality, every garment is a work of art. Their use of exquisite fabrics and vibrant color combinations adds a touch of quirk to any wardrobe. While their offerings may cater slightly to a more mature audience, there's something for everyone at Fragonard, spanning a wide age range. And let's not overlook their divine fragrances and homeware. It's a temptation I often find hard to resist.
Another gem in my fashion finds that perfectly complements the laid-back yet oh-so-chic Riviera lifestyle... Free People! While not of French origin, its relaxed comfort and feminine designs seamlessly blend with the vibe here. The quality is great, just like my other favourites. I've built quite a collection from Free People, and each piece exudes an effortless allure that's quintessentially me. From flowy dresses to cosy knits, their offerings capture the essence of carefree elegance, making them a staple in my Riviera wardrobe rotation.
Skincare
As many of you are aware, as I often mention in my videos, I have a deep fondness for Erborian. Their products have become a staple in my daily skincare routine. What I particularly admire about them is their commitment to using natural yet highly effective ingredients. I've never experienced any irritation with their products, and they leave my skin feeling both clean and naturally radiant.
One product from Erborian that I simply can't live without is their Super BB Cream. It's like a fusion of foundation and skincare in one. I rely on it throughout the year for its superb coverage, all while feeling lightweight and nourishing on the skin. Plus, it's a lifesaver with its built-in SPF protection. During the summer months, I opt for the shade doré, which perfectly complements my complexion. However, in the winter, I blend in a touch of their CC Red Correct Cream to tailor the shade to my needs, resulting in a flawless finish.
Their Eau Ginseng Lotion is a game-changer in my anti-ageing regimen, and their Ginseng Infusion night cream works wonders as both a moisturizer and an anti-ageing powerhouse. I’m also a huge fan of their Night Oil Serum, it is the cherry on top of my nighttime routine. It leaves my skin feeling rejuvenated and refreshed, ready to take on the day ahead.
You can find all of these, and more, in my shop!
