When one of the travel agents in Paris (a laconic man whose English was neatly clipped with typical Parisian overtones) advised me to elope to Deauville for a seaside getaway, I was envisioning a small fishing village with quaintly dilapidated cottages by the sea completely dissociated from civilisation. Thus, you can only imagine my surprise when I arrived in this incredibly beautiful enclave of crisp seaside air, expansive beaches dotted with colourful umbrellas, and grandiose mansions by the shore. The moment my heart skipped a beat? When I stumbled upon Louis Vuitton on a casual morning stroll peeking through the perfectly manicured pathways.
Perhaps I shouldn't have been surprised - I later found out that this is after all the place that F. Scott Fitzgerald mentions as Tom Buchanan and Daisy's honeymoon spot in 'The Great Gatsby' ...
Where is the prettiest place you've ever visited? I would love to know!
Much love, Mandy. xx
Wow, Deauville is absolutely stunning Mandy! Love your outfit too =) xx
ReplyDeleteI was just there this summer, but you make it look so much more beautiful through your photos! I love the one of the umbrellas on the beach - such a gorgeous contrast with the darkening sky.
ReplyDelete& Veggies have never looked so good. Whoa. Make me a salad pronto.
Love this photo diary - great job. You look epically pretty, as usual.

This looks so beautiful! No wonder Louis Vuitton named one of their bags after this place. The prettiest place I've been? Too many... Right now I'm in Venice which is very special, so that would be my prettiest in this moment.

new new!! :)))
Deauville is the quaintest place! I would have to say the prettiest place I've been is Bora Bora in French Polynesia--stayed in a little bungalow with a thatched roof right on the white sand beach with the most colorful tropical fish that would nibble at your feet!! Hotel Bora Bora was fabulous!!
