It's "so much nicer in Nice".

Nice is undeniably the best location in the South of France. It offers EVERYTHING!!!!

Unlike its competition it doesn’t rely on tourists so anticipate a buzz all year.

Recommendations….hit the old town. Brimming with artists, galleries, clothes, jewels & FOOD! The closest thing Europe has to a souk.

Not everything is as it seems...check out the trompe d'oreil above....when is a window not a window?

I spent most of my childhood in the Middle East so always seek out the likes of Houmous, Tzaziki & Shich Taouk.

Stars & Stripes….suddenly felt patriotic??? No! Was inspired by D&G stars & just went from there.

Plus when in France follow the locals/stereotypes and hit the stripes.

Socca, far left. A local snack made of chickpeas. Drown it in black pepper. Delicious.

Not the most visually appealing....but a unique street food. A hit with the locals.

Introducing one of my fav's...my Sam Ubhi necklace

Just thought I’d share my Sam Ubhi necklace. Bought a few seasons ago but seriously Love it.

Indulging in a slight wishbone obsession at the moment.

Runway Girly seeks out vintage gems

In the middle of Provence one doesn’t anticipate bumping into vintage Chanel, Balmain & Old World Arabian jewelry. But Runway Girly DID! Highlight of holiday so far, (isn’t that tragic?)

Fell head over sandals with this MAJOR ring….unfortunately the purse was somewhat depleted….. Quel dommage!(However invested in a rather spectacular piece which I’ll show another time!)

Runway Girly in Grasse where the air smells that much sweeter!

Grasse! It is the capital of perfume making…. One doesn’t even need to enter the shops to sense them….every few minutes perfumed water is shot through the air….how fantastic is that?

What other town can boast that?

THE GREATEST CREPES ON EARTH! Bar none!

Sucre avec citron, 2 Euro’s. Perfection on a paper plate!

On my wish list…..but I’m saving my Euro’s for a truly incredible ring shop in St Tropez.

If on the Riveria, hit it with style!
