Greetings from the South of France!

I wish you were here to bask in the sun, feel the warm breeze, and enjoy the salty sea with me. For the past three weeks, I’ve been embracing some of my favorite M-KAE styles, perfect for showcasing my relaxed preggo vacation looks. I hope you’ll find some inspiration from my time here!

France has always held a special place in my heart. Joachim and I took our first trip to the South of France only a few months after we met, and it quickly became our favorite destination. We’ve returned every summer for the past decade, making cherished memories in our small family house here. Each day feels like a dream - we love soaking up the sun on the terrace, eating croissants and fresh baguettes from the local bakery around the corner, and preparing delicious homemade pasta in the evenings with a good glass of wine. The sunsets are nothing short of magical, and we can easily spend hours outside, enjoying the summer warmth.

It’s been such a dream for us to share this beloved summer getaway with our two daughters, who have fallen in love with it just as much as we have.

Here are some of our favorite spots to visit while we’re in France:

• Cantinetta Antinori, Monaco: An Italian gem with a magical atmosphere and live music. Please reserve your table outside in the green leather couch.
• Lou Lou "Pirate", Menton: A new addition this summer, this restaurant sits right on the water with amazing pasta dishes.
• The Maybourne Riviera, Monaco: The most beautiful hotel with stunning views of Monaco and exceptional food.
• La Guérite, Cannes: A renowned spot on an island accessible by a small speedboat. Enjoy a meal with live music and sunbeds—perfect for a festive day.
• Café de Paris, Monaco: Ideal for a sunny lunch in downtown Monaco where you can indulge in some people-watching.
• Paloma Beach, Cap Ferrat: A hidden gem offering the freshest seafood right by the beach.

I can’t wait to share more stories and photos with you when I return. Until then, I hope these recommendations inspire you to visit this beautiful part of the world!
