Life is beautiful, especially in sunny California. Here you see me this week on iconic Rodeo Drive in front of the the sculpture «Life is Beautiful» by Mr. Brainwash. His real name is Thierry Guetta, and the French-born, Los Angeles-based artist rose to fame as a protégé of Banksy after appearing in his film Exit Through the Gift Shop.

Feeling very «tropézienne» in the small seaside town of Saint Tropez on the French Riviera. Its fame started in the 50s and 60s, when Brigitte Bardot set foot on the soil of this fishing town. From then until today, this place never ceases to intrigue with its tiny streets and beautiful colors. A great time to come here is at the end of the season for the Voiles de St. Tropez, which is one of the most prestigious regattas in the Mediterranean. Both ultramodern yachts and rare wooden yachts participate in it. This year, it takes place between September 29, 2023 until October 8, 2023.
My look: Fringed wool and cashmere-blend jacquard scarf, and printed stretch-jersey leggings, both by Valentino, Playboy Lips appliqué canvas book clutch by Olympia Le-Tan, black bandeau top, metal glass pearls leather earrings, and logo metal chain belt, all by CHANEL, and Jodie black suede platform sandals by Saint Laurent.

Being on a boat can be a positive influence on your life. It is said that the mere sight and sound of water promote wellness by lowering cortisol, increasing serotonin, and inducing relaxation. Personally speaking, it is this feeling of freedom that boosts my energy levels and elevates my mood. Here you see me on board of Christina O this summer happy as a bug.
