Hi everyone!
First of all, thank you so much for all your wonderful comments on the previous post. You really are the best readers and if it wasn’t for you I would never have this blog! ❤
Today has been a wonderful day so far, the rays of sunshine have been really good for us! As I walked around the streets today with sunshine in my face, a good warm and comforting hand holding mine and a view of the deep blue sea for as far as the eye can see I realised how incredibly fortunate we are to be able to come to Monaco whenever we feel like it. Don’t get me wrong, I was thrilled about it when we got our second home in London and we talked about how we would jump back and forth, but I don’t think it’s really sunk in until now as it’s just felt so unreal. But NOW, 2 months later when my feet are back on Monegasque ground, my brain finally gets it he he..
Anyway, here are some snapshots of my day through Instagram:
We had a chilled morning enjoying being back in our much loved bed, and then we went for a little shopping around the Casino gardens where I picked up a little something from Chanel (which I’ll show you later). We then sat down at the Cafe de Paris for lunch which is located opposite Hotel de Paris. Apparently they’re redoing Hotel de Paris completely as soon as the Grand Prix is over. I’ve seen some pictures and it’s going to be amazing with an open roof in the middle. It’s estimated to be finished in about 4 years time.
But back to Cafe de Paris. Cafe de Paris is a must visit when you’re in Monaco as you get a wonderful view of the Casino where the male(s) in your company can drool over cars and you (and other females in your company) can drool over amazing outfits and handbags walking around. I have no idea what cars went by, but I spotted my dream bag of all time on the table next to me – a black Hermès Birkin in crocodile. By the table on the other side I spotted a Chanel handbag thrown on the floor and I can’t help but think that the bag deserves to be with someone else that knows how to treat it, right? :/
We finished off with one of the Cafe de Paris signature giant ice creams and strolled back home. As you can see I did a quick shoe swap on the way back despite it’s only five minutes home from the Casino, but why suffer when it’s so easy to swap shoes when you can hide little Yosies in the bag? A must have for any heel obsessed girl, you can read more about them here. Proper outfit pictures will come as soon as I’ve edited them :D
Now we’re going to chill in front of the tv for a little while and then we’ll see where we end up tonight! Hope you’ve enjoyed your day just as much as I have, sweetest readers!! xx

Lucky you, being in Monaco!! The weather is kind of terrible in Denmark, even though it is getting better :)
It’s quite a good idea with the Yosies as they can fit in any bag, but in the end if you’re doing a shoe swap you kind of need a bag to fit your heels in anyway, so I guess in that sense it doesn’t matter that much :)
Enjoy Monaco! xx

Another advert, wow.
Wow, Magda, you’re an idiot.
All you’ve ever done is to leave really rude comments, but then you still have the nerve to enter my give aways. If you don’t like the blog then don’t visit, it’s that easy.
Yaaay! So happy you’re back in Monaco for a little bit. I love seeing your posts from there :)

Glad to see you’ve had a nice day in Monaco.
Yeah, I agree with you, when you’re in possession of something like a Chanel bag, you should treat it right, whether it’s your only prized possession or your twentieth… But, in the end, that’s too bad for them if they can’t appreciate what they have ;)
You’re really tempting me with the Yosi Samra ballet flats, one more thing on my ‘want’ list haha, but I’m sure they’re wrth it!
Have a nice evening xo
That ice cream looks sooo delicious, I’m so hungry right now, hehe…
You look beautiful as always :)
Hei, jeg likte godt de ballerina skoene som kan puttes i vesken.men hva gjør man med de skoene man allerede har på hvis man blir sliten i beina?
På dagtid pleier jeg bestandig å ha en ganske stor veske, så jeg bare putter de oppi der eller oppi en shoppingpose hvis jeg er ute og handler. Om kvelden har jeg som regel en clutch, og da tar jeg de bare i hånden. Det er bedre enn å gå barbeint :)
it seems like you had fun! and chanel on the floor! it should be illegal! i’m saying there should be prosecution!

Haha
I’m jelly as I’m stuck in sunless and cold Norway :-(. Looks like a fantastic day! Cheers.
I feel your pain, hopefully the easter sun will shine soon :D xx
For some reason I am glad you are back to Monaco. I missed Monaco + you :-)
<3
You came at the right moment in Monaco, last days the weather was awful on the French Riviera, but today indeed was a sunny day.
Oh poor Chanel bag down floor..Too bad.
Have a nice week end Celina

Yes, and it’s still early.. March is known for being full of rain, so I’m very happy we got some sunshine :) Hope you’re having a lovely weekend too xx
Ser sååååå deilig ut! Kan nesten ikke vente til april og min årlige, vårlige (he, he) Nice tur. Reiser før og etter den typiske turist sesongen hvert år og det er som balsam for legeme og sjel.
Gleder meg ellevilt til å se hva som skjuler seg i den fine Chanel posen…
Lurt å reise når det er litt rolig, å bli fanget i en turistbølge er aldri gøy. Viser Chanel kjøpet snart, må bare ta bilder først ;)
Celina, nå ser jeg tydelig at dine Pigalle ‘bare’ er 100 (instagram bildet over hvor du sitter med mobilen).
De så veldig høye ut på bildet du la ut og kanskje fordi det var tatt rett bakfra på skoen. Hm, kanskje jeg må tenke på et nytt par til, ha, ha. Alltid en unnskyldning for et par røde såler til vet du.
Ja, du har nok rett i det. Bildet er nok tatt litt underifra for de sto på en hylle ovenfor meg da jeg tok bildet. Man kan alltid ha bruk for et par ekstra røde såler ;)
Do you find the elastic on the Yosi flats irritates you at all?
No, why would they? It just means they won’t feel tight? :)
That’s good. Sometimes ballet flats with elastic tops have elastic that feels kind of “scratchy”, or that is too tight- even though it stretches, it sort of cuts into the top of your foot. I often see that mentioned in reviews of them. Good to know these don’t do that :)
Janna recently posted..What do YOU want to see here?
Yea, sunshine! I am so in need of some! Just seeing pictures makes me happier!
Is it odd that I don’t have a problem with a Chanel bag on the floor? (I mean it wasn’t a muddy disaster-ridden floor.) I really like to live in my things, “luxury” items or not. I know it’s crazy but maybe she did appreciate it she just wanted to live her life putting her bag in the trenches of real life! ;D (and I need to defend that girl because that bag could have been mine and I LOVE my bags!)
Yay, so happy to hear that the happiness of the sunshine shines through the screen!! :D And thank you for sharing your view on “the Chanel on the floor incident”, I haven’t thought about that way :)
I don’t know why but every time I see your photos in Monaco, my heart smiles :) I haven’t been to London or Monaco so I can’t really judge but going by all the photos I see (or films I watch) of both places, with its sunny, bright and general feel of the place, Monaco always looks more appealing. I’m sure London has its own perks and different experiences that Monaco may not offer but for some reason London strikes me as being cold and drab and gloomy regardless of the season :)) Thank you so much for the great pictures again :) xx
London and Monaco are very different, and can’t be compared. It’s like comparing St Barths to New York. You are right about Monaco being sunny, bright and visually appealing, but I wouldn’t describe London as anything like that. While Monaco is only 2000 square km and very few residents, London has a population 4 times the whole of Norway! You can find anything in London and do anything you want, but it’s a typical big city being quite grey and not so visually appealing. That is why I’m so thrilled about being able to spend time in both :) x

Chanel ♡♡

wow. I’m sure being in Monaca again is so great. I wonder how much amusements are in such small place! really lucky you.
Sadly I can’t follow your instagram so I really miss Linus! how is he?
And… dear Celina why you get angry when somebody leave bad comments? Just don’t care!
Yes, it feels lovely being back for the weekend. Contrary to popular belief, Monaco is actually a really boring place during winter, but during summer it’s a lof of fun :D I feel incredibly lucky to be able to spend winter in London and summer in Monaco, and jump back and forth – it’s just amazing! :D Linus is not with us this time :/ Because of UK regulations he must fly cargo, and we don’t want him to do that just for a few days so he’s spending the weekend at James’ mother where I know he’s having lots os fun. We miss him incredibly much though!
Ans Shabnam, you are so right about ignoring stupid comments, but I actually have ignored this person’s comment until now. This is a person writing ONLY bad comments, and it comes to a point where you just get fed up you know ;)
Can’t wait to see whats in the chanel bag! Even the carrier bag is exciting! :) Monaco is definately on my holiday list! looks fabulous! Have a great day! x
