cannes, france

Just beautiful...

You know when you try a type of food for the first time, and it’s so good there’s so much involved? Not just the texture, or the color, or the size. It becomes emotional. It becomes a memory that will stay on the tip of your tongue. Probably for a really long time.

That’s what happened here. At Cannes, France. The local strawberries…yeah, I could just start and finish with this. Everyday.

I just got back from Cannes (located in the French Riviera) a few weeks ago, had a great opportunity to attend the Cannes Film Festival as a guest. Checking this off my bucket list now! The city, the beaches, the food, the shopping...just not enough time to see and do everything really. Oh, and I over packed. Just a little. My wardrobe was ambitious, because you just never know how many outfits a lady would need per day due to the weather right? I mean it's Cannes! Uh, hopefully I’m not the only one that thought this way.

In line for the evening premieres, if you have ticket you can walk the red carpet before the celebrities arrive!  

This was really the only pair of shoes I should have taken. Could not have survived without them~ 

Chocolate eclair!!! 

Did Cannes live up to the hype? Absolutely. Didn’t get to explore enough within 7 days, since we were busy with the festival. However, we did get a good peak…at least for this first trip. Locals were friendly, weather was great, shopping was dangerous, and the food-couldn’t get enough. Although by the end of the trip, I was craving something spicy, something Asian. One tip-just eat everything and anything that looks good, especially the fruit and produce~

If you’re thinking about visiting Cannes, stop thinking about it. Just go. Trust me, you’ll be sad to leave~

                           Local farmers market-the produce and fruit are in their own category.  Really.
