My Trip to the Côte d'Azur
What I Wore, Where We Stayed and Why I want to go back ASAP
I’m writing you this newsletter with a shit eating grin on my face.
Where to begin? As I shared on my social media, it’s hard to truly put in to words how much I loved our stay at Les Rouche Rouge. My dear friend, Janessa Leone, booked our trip here and said “trust me” upon doing so. Janessa has the best style and taste so I knew we were in for a treat. Les Rouche Rouge has an understated elegance about it that I crave. I went to most breakfasts barefoot, lived mainly in wet hair and immediately upon checking in felt at ease. I cannot recommend this hotel enough and plan to return someday very soon.
We spent one afternoon on a boat which we rented via the hotel and had a very fun lunch at La Guerite after scooping up two of our LA friends from the Cannes Lions Festival.
While three nights was a very nice sweet spot for me to not be gone from the kids for too long (well, 6 in total if you count London), it was definitely a quick trip and I’d love to be able to spend more time here. If you really wanted to unplug, a nice 1-week trip here would be the right a sweet amount to really feel like you’re falling off the grid.
Janessa Leone just launched this beautiful Dillon Handwoven Beach Blanket that I couldn’t stop wrapping myself up in. It’s my new favorite thing. Sandals are by Bembien and come in three colors.
I’m also wearing her newly launched Waverly Hat (above) and my all time favorite Walker Bucket Hat (below
I’ve been crushing pretty hard over hard over St. Agni and may or may not have leaned in a bit too much on their backless pieces. I positively love this dress and opted to relax it down with sandals and wet hair for dinner. The attitude of this location is a less is more, wet hair don’t care kind of beach vacation.
Every summer I like to buy a fun bag for days like this. I opted for this cutie little Cult Gaia and am very happy with the size, how much it fits, and the fact that it goes with everything.
Immediately added these Emme Parsons sandals that Janessa had to my cart. So obsessed!
Last but not least, this is what I wore on the flight from London to Nice. I knew it would be hot when we landed so I layered my Wyeth striped over my outfit for the plane. I’m wearing: Felix Hat, The Row Margaux 10 Inch bag, Bembien Shoes and High Sport Set
Next up? Aspen with the family for the 4th of July.
Until next time! JD x
