Hi friends! No, we didn't get stuck in St. Tropez (I wish!) but since returning to Paris things have been on high-drive with getting back to normal life. It's amazing how after only five days of a lazy beach life, coming back to reality is difficult. It also doesn't help that the weather in St. Tropez was
parfait and the weather in Paris, well, sucks. Leaving summer to come back to a schizophrenic summer/spring/fall all combined into one was a bit bleh.
Here are a few highlights from St. Tropez! We were very lucky to stay at Sir Lancelot's friend's dad's house about ten minutes outside of the main town. This was a plus since we were not too far but not too close to both the beach and the center of town. Overall, I was very happy with our time here. It was nice to spend more quality time with Sir L's England friends and I know he enjoyed seeing them as well. He's spent many a vacations in St. Tropez with them so for him it was just another trip but this time with his wife.
What I really enjoyed was that our days in St. Tropez were very similar to the days I spent on my family's beach vacations. It's a simple routine of wake up, exercise, quick breakfast together and on the beach no later than 11am! Then it's beach all day with a little lunch, some swimming and a quality beach walk before heading back to the house for a proper happy hour and dinner. And that lovely ones was our holiday in St. Tropez.
Now, I'm sure you're wondering what happened with the long dresses. To be honest, I got a bit too excited about wearing them and therefore was disappointed. Lancey's best friend's girlfriend is a big wig at a premiere online fashion store and I guess since she has to look absolutely spot on every day, she takes her vacations to dress down (although her dressing down was still the coolest thing ever). So I only was able to wear one long dress on the day we went to Le Club 55 for a leisurely lunch. But it still counts. And, Sir L is heading to Cannes in two weeks for the annual advertising festival and I'll be joining him later in the week - with all my long dresses again! A few of you asked for a photo of the long dresses - so here is the one I have. I'll have a few more from Cannes in a few weeks!

Thanks Aidan! I wish you were going to be here on Sat! I heart wine buckets with sweat!!! Club 55 was fun and honestly, compared to the rest of St. Tropez the same price for wine/food, etc. and the food was actually really good! Plus the people watching is amazing.
Deletewow!
ReplyDeletei think the last one was just picture perfect. ^0^
glad you had a nice r*r on your 5jours vacances.
ps: loving the long dress.
Aww! you're so sweet! Sir L got a new camera so he's learning how to use it!!!
DeleteThe south of France is all about rosé morning, noon, and night, I think that's the real reason I live here.
ReplyDeleteWhen are you going to be in Cannes?
Sweeeet! I love these photos! You two are one good-looking couple! Wow!!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had fun! Gorgeous maxi dress!! You're so Serena in that photo. : )
Love that dress!
ReplyDeleteI'm quite jealous- at 5'1", it's not very easy for me to find a long dress that fits.
