The views overlooking Monaco at The Maybourne Riviera were so blue and so breathtaking. These are some of my favorite images from Cannes Film Festival this year. It was like living in a movie. Everything was a work of art. From the architecture, to the interiors. I could stay up on my balcony all day. I love how alive and colorful the French Riviera is during the summer. For a destination and event that is so iconic, I had a lot of fun putting together some very timeless looks. A lot of glamorous sequin and feather dresses for the parties. Simple but elegant looks by the pool or at the beach club. I could really get used to a star-studded summer in France.

The Aston Martin DB12 launch at the Cannes Film Festival was a total dream. There is something special about the green DB12, overlooking Monaco. I put on a fully embellished look to match. The day was dazzling.

Feeling like the luckiest girl in the world to be in France for the special unveiling of the Aston Martin DB12! It’s the most iconic and sleek sports car to drive through the French Riviera with. It’s all about beauty, incredible craftsmanship, and a whole lot of luxury. It’s definitely a car with a lot of va-va-voom! This was such a star-studded night during the Cannes Film Festival at the very glamorous Hotel du Cap-Eden Roc. It was the perfect night to bring out this incredible Rasario sequin purple piece. This dress in Antibes with Aston Martin was just the most perfect combination.
THE FEARLESS DRAMATIC SIDE HIP
Now this a side cut-out design to talk about. It’s new, elevated, and super sexy. And yes, you can still wear undies with it thank goodness! Mulberry England sure knows how to va-va-voom up a simple ribbed maroon dress. This was shot back in Cannes. I’ve spent quite some time in the South of France this summer and it’s been divine. I know exactly what to pack in about 10 minutes. My travel go-to’s have easily become giant earrings, slip-on dresses, and a good mule sandal. Forget the curling iron, and put your hair in a messy bun. That’s the beauty of summer. With the heat and the sun, you sort of become forced to be comfortable in your own skin. You suddenly want to whip out that mini skirt and bare backed tank, without anything holding your confidence back. There’s one word to describe how I feel in this dress and that is: fearless.
This year so far has been insane and sometimes I have to stop and pinch myself and think “is this real life?” A lot of what I do from traveling, meeting new people constantly, finding inspiration, and coming up with new ideas really comes from finding that fearlessness inside of me. That ability to say, “I can do this.” I think a lot of success and happiness comes from within… being secure in your own skin. It’s okay to get a little crazy and it’s okay to let your freak flag fly. I do it all the time. My latest trip to Singapore proved just that. I met a group of absolutely wonderful people and made amazing new friends. Together we laughed uncontrollably and joked at the stupidest things, and that’s what I’ll remember most (besides the delicious food of course). I was so jet lagged I nearly face planted into my food, but I didn’t care if anyone judged me. We had FUN. It’s important to let loose, drop all judgements, and have fun in an industry that sometimes feels so serious. I’ve learned everything in life comes easier when you just don’t sweat the small stuff and live a little. So I guess today’s word is fearless. Fearless in your own skin. I’m already thinking up a time I can whip out this dramatic side hip at the next party because it’s just sooooo fire.
