Nice, France Holiday Notes + holiday pics

 Heyyy x

I hope you enjoyed my last blogpost x I thought I would write down some notes from my holiday in France, just things I did, ate, purchased and other random thoughts. So my holiday was in Nice France which is where my sister lives and yeah it was just her and I which was fun.

So yeah on the first day we just stayed local in the town. First place we went was to a flower market which is always really lovely to go to. We picked up some eucalyptus for the flat.

Here is an archive Happy Hippo post from 2019 where I announce I brought a Eucalyptus Plant which did unfortunately die.

Then we went to a perfume shop that my sister and I like, where I picked up a perfume which has a passionfruit summery scent and a soap (my sis and I said it had quite a nostalgic scent to it- quite a grandma smell). For lunch we got a sort of flatbread type thing with roast veg and cheese filling, it totally hit the spot.

I went past the place where someone tried to pick me up thinking I was a prostitute last time I was in Nice.

We did a bit more browsing of boutiques. We went to Galeries Lafayette and Sephora ect. I picked up a tres chic breton jumper from Mango. Totally handy because it was actually quite chilly in Nice. It has like a big 70’s collar that looks sort of cool.

We then stopped by one of my favourite bars in Nice which is really just lovely for people watching. I got a Happy Hour mojito.

This is the new jumper I got. 

Then for dinner we went to a Chinese restaurant. And yeah that was the first day.

Some of the things we did on the other day includes going to Italy (which you can read about here), then we went to a Shopping Centre on the outskirts of Nice, cocktail evening, we had dinner out and stuff so yeah really fun. Oh it was also fun because one evening my sisters boyfriend and his cousin came round for Ramadan- it was so nice to practice my French. I enjoyed practicing my French so much that I considered maybe going to a language cafe. My sister and I were a little under the weather on some days so it was also just nice to relax. 


My sister and I have like developed an obsession with Julia Fox. We actually think she is sooo cool. She has a very lovely energy. She is currently writing a book (a 'masterpiece' I have heard) and I hope it materialises soon because I cannot wait to read.

Harpers Bazaar This has been one of my fave looks of hers recently. She looks so fab x

Apologies for the very poor quality photo- I thought I would just give you a visual reference of my purchases. I got a pack of several knickers from a shop called Etam (it’s a really lovely boutique to visit if you are ever in France). Obviously you are never stuck for lovely underwear shops in France; we also like Tezenis, Undiz (they had some really interesting goat themed knickers in there that read like 'I am a goat'). If  you want I could post a list of boutiques to visit in France.

Anyway guys that is all. Have a lovely weekend or evening xx
