Take Me To The Riviera

The recent buzz and press from the Cannes Film Fest has inspired a bit of French Riviera wishful-thinking...that, and I just started reading Tender is the Night by F. Scott Fitzgerald, which is set in the 20s and begins on a beach "halfway between Marseilles and the Italian border." 

Were starlet Rosemary Hoyt to be transported to the beaches of the French Riviera today (or better still, were I to be), here's what I envision her to strut the Croisette in:


silk and linen cropped jacket, jaeger. blue cropped shirt, miss selfridge. rolled hem scarf, lauren by ralph lauren. whistlestop sandal, madewell. deacon fine-twill cropped pant, elizabeth and james. bamboula ltd market tote, madewell. super (tm) sunglasses, blonde havanna, madewell. dazzling nailpolish, chanel. bonjour tristesse, francoise sagan.
