Cannes Shopping Festival

Yes, an entire post dedicated to this event... No, it's not that I attended every fashion show or cocktail that was in the programme but when you have VIP entrance to the Salvatore Ferragamo boutique AND you have the chance to view the Collection Printemps/Eté 2011 of Azzaro and Ferragamo in the Palais des Festivals you've got to mention it! What a girl's gotta do, a girl's gotta do...

The Cannes Shopping Festival started when Le Boyfriend insisted I stand in between the amazingly cool 'shopping bags' in front of the Palais des Festivals.
Then Sofie got hold of invites for drink and the fashion shows, for which I think I'll let the pictures do the talking. All this followed by a bottle of Vin Blanc and tapas at Le Carré d'Or... So fashionably fun!!

La Dolce Vita

And again : WOW, how April is flying by. It's nearly the end of the month and I hardly realised it. This is of course due to all the visits I'm getting and the apéro's I'm doing because of the sunny weather. And, not to forget, the schoolwork I'm (trying to be) doing.
A week ago two of my teachers came to visit, to do a halftime-evaluation. I didn't get a day (or hours) off but then I had lunch à la plage the next day with my friends and the teachers, so all was good. It was a lovely lunch and delicious wine. Oh, and my grades : also good! 28/30 - can't complain!
I had to fight for my 4 days off last weekend and Monday / Tuesday, but... I got them! And my amazing boyfriend came over during those days so we had ourselves a decadent mini-holiday. I loved every minute of it, except for maybe when we went shopping - our tastes differ quite a bit. No, I'm kidding, it was great spending time together.
We spent a day on the beach, which lead to Le Boyfriend being quite sunburnt. We visited Monaco; the old town and, of course, the Monte Carlo Casino followed by a glass of rosé at Café de Paris. We spent a day strolling through Cannes, shopping. And on top of that we enjoyed several apéro's and delicious meals and just each other's company!

Now it's the "Cannes Shopping Festival" so I really won't get a chance to be bored in the next few days. In May I have my mum's visit to look forward to (I so hope I get at least one day off) and the Festival de Cannes as well as a visit from two amazing friends. Ah, la vie en rose! And then, it's nearly over...

Now some more MC-Work!

Bisous,

Halfway!

Wow, I'm already halfway through my work placement in Cannes! How time flies!
I told myself April would be a month that's going to pass by like crazy and I can only confirm. We're the 10th now and I haven't had a single bored moment, not even at work thanks to MIPTV.
I started of the month with repos, followed by the lovely visit from La Meilleure Copine, all the way from La Belgique. It was lovely spending time together, on the beach, discovering Cannes and star-spotting. (We met Bruno Wyndaele, a Belgian Quiz Presentator. He spent the night in L'Hôtel and then we met him in the city too) We were lucky the weather was great (and still is, FYI) and we were able to see each other lots, even though I didn't have any days off.

The day Caroline left we were (I wasn't, but my colleagues were) surprised by a visit from two friends who did their work placement here this time last year. They missed the South so much they popped over for a short trip to Cannes. As they rented a car they picked me up after work and we had a lovely dinner together, catching up and gossiping. Such a great night!
The weather here is superb for the moment, which I'm loving. My days are consisting of La Plage, Apéro's and so on. Although I really really must start working on my Management Case urgently, as the first half has to be sent to our teachers by the 22nd of April. Oh my...

Well, I'm off to La Plage!

Bisous,
