La Promenade du Paillon à Nice

Jardins du Paillon

NICE, FRANCE – A few days ago I had the chance to go visit the city’s newly built “green spine” called Promenade du Paillon. It features exotic plants from all 5 continents, fountains, water games and a generally high amount of natural goodness all around. All of this paired with the typical blue sky and sunshine… I’m in love :)

The variety of trees and plants is incredible, I’ll share a few favorites below :) Hope you’ll enjoy this little ‘visual’ walk through these beautiful gardens :) xx

Bienvenue à Nice :)

The gorgeous beach of Nice, France

NICE, FRANCE – Today I want to show you one of my favorite places in Europe, probably n°1 for me: Nice :)

Why should you fall in love with it?

This beautiful Mediterranean city is blessed with the most incredible teal colored seaside (which is pretty unique for the French Riviera where usually the water is a deeper indigo blue) with white pebbles beaches, huge gardens such as a newly built “green spine” throughout its central area and also features plenty of bold coloured streets and buildings (more posts coming soon ;) ).

Now it’s time to visit its pastel coloured beaches and have a little week-end relax ;)

Sunset dream in Sydney Circular Quay

Dreaming of that day back in Sydney Circular Quay (aka the best place on Earth to me) during a late afternoon walk from the Opera House to Pitt Street. Loved to admire the (very warm) sun setting between the skyscrapers and creating lovely rays of light on the bay :)

Sydney Royal Botanic Garden: part 1

Glorious golden light with sun shining behind a tree in Sydney Royal Botanics Gardens

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – Walking around the Royal Botanic Garden in Sydney at golden hour is so dreamy and interesting. You’ll see lots of local trees and plants that are not very commonly found overseas: from gum trees to bottlebrush, to huge ferns and special varieties of tropical palm trees from QLD, to the incredibly prehistoric-looking half-fallen tree below in the photos. The atmosphere is of course as laid back as you would expect it to be from an Australian city park :) I especially loved the contrast between the wild-looking nature and the skyscrapers in the background that seems to pop up all the time while walking along. Add to this the beautiful golden tones of a powerful ozzy sun (powerful even at dusk) and here it is :) My recipe for a traveller’s dream exploration of the city park ! xx

Exploring NYC: in love with every urban detail

street of New York

NEW YORK, NY – Almost 6 months have gone by since my trip to New York and I simply can’t get over all the interesting details in every street. I keep reopening the archive and looking for more pics to edit, as with time going by every photo of New York seems to acquire a special meaning to me :) I have always been extremely curious to go and see what it really was all about and now with the Christmas season approaching (with NY being the set of about 90% of all the Christmas movies…) it’s time to watch Serendipity over and over again :P This year though, it is different to watch it because for the first time I have actually been there :) xx

Exploring New York: on a walk to the Top of the Rock!

New York 7th Avenue with vintage glossy magazine edit

NEW YORK, NY – That day on Top of the Rock!! :) For me, possibly the best experience in NY has been to go up the Rockefeller Center (the Empire State Building would do too) to see the view of the entire city from above… so crazy and charming! :) You can hear all the noises from the traffic, construction work, etc echoing up there, pretty funny… I wasn’t expecting this :) It really makes you think of how many people are out there doing their jobs, or rushing around, meeting someone, spending time with friends, …. so many lives, events and dreams intertwined among the streets of NY! xx

Lake Como ! :)

 

LAKE COMO, ITALY – Digging the archives today looking for pics of Lake Como for a client’s website I am designing and I thought I might share a few of my old pictures here :) Lake Como is seriously one of the most beautiful places on Earth, I highly recommend everywhere to visit it. But be warned, you might end up liking it enough to decide to live there for a few years like I did ;) In the meanwhile, sending some love ! xx
