Fashion: Let’s Go To The Beach In Algarve, Portugal

Posted on May 27, 2014 | Leave a comment

Please give me a (fashion) break!

And let’s head to this small beach in Algarve! Here are my happy few must have to go to the beach! Colorful pareos (pictures 1 & 5, Zara and picture 3 Gérard Darel). I always take many, I also use them as a scarf or a cover when it’s a bit windy!

Colorful African bangles to chill with my Portugese ELLE …

I’m looking at the waves …

While my Roxy T-shirt is drying. The fabric is so sweet! Pictures below & 8: my “Slim” Havaianas, loved them for ages! A bit of glam protection with Vichy Compact Solaire Embellisseur SFP 30 that also illuminates the skin.

Nice zebra design to match with my XXL beach bag!

Stylish Diane Von Furstenberg wallet in plastic to remove sand! Time for Bikini girls (picture 9)! Can’t find my top, oops I forget to take a picture of the bikini’s top!

I could stay hours swimming!

That’s why I tested the Bio Beauté by Nuxe’s 50 SFP sunscreen, with a delicious coconut perfume and paraben free. Unfortunately the texture is a bit greasy and leaves on the skin a white layer. But the protection is strong!

Love these natural leather sandals

of Zara. Never without my Essie nail polish! Sorry I have to go back hammocking under the Algarve incredible blue sky! So what are your “go to the beach” must have? I’m really curious to discover yours …

The pictures were shot at the beach of the beautiful Vila Vita Parc.

Nazaré, Portugal: The Biggest Wave in The World

Posted on January 5, 2014 | Leave a comment

Onda da Nazaré, the biggest wave in the world !

And extreme surf ! Yes, Nazaré ! Do you remember in 2011 the feat of the Hawaiian Garrett McNamara who surfed a wave of 23.77 meters high ? The biggest wave ever surfed … Until he established a new world record in January 2013 and this time with a wave of more than 30 meters! Welcome to Nazaré, Portugal … 1h30 drive north of Lisbon.

Stunning panorama of Praia do Norte (North Beach) from the old lighthouse. The wind is cold, mild euphoria, I do not feel the cold, warmed up by this amazing winter sun. Azure sky, incredible brightness ! Surf waves break a few meters below. No wall of water today, from time to time some powerful waves, Atlantic Ocean. Whenever I discover a legendary surf spot is flat LOL! Two three surfers in the water, a photographer with his assistant and a tripod …

I can spend hours and hours looking at the ocean, endless beach. And we head to the beach. No real path, the descent is steep, very steep . Large sandbar that stretches out of sight . I’m deafened by the noise of the wind and waves. Also surprised that despite a strong wind, the sand doesn’t fly unlike Guincho, another famous surf spot in Portugal. Time flies, we must go back, I feel boosted. A last glance towards the beach (photo 9). To be continued …

Croatia: Beautiful Island of Krk and Crystal Clear Sea

Posted on August 24, 2013 | Leave a comment

One of the most pleasant surprises

of my trip in Croatia: the island of Krk with stunning scenery! Early in the morning, I left Opatija with the same haunting book title in mind: “The Possibility of an Island” (La possibilité d’une île) of Houellebecq … I still haven’t read it, I just like the title … Crystal clear water with emerald and ultramarine blue reflections. Just arrived, I regret not being able to stay more than one day. The island is large and one day it’s not enough to visit all.

After the historic tour of Omišalj

(this town is older than 10,000 years), the lunch in an amazing location took us too much time (coming up post)! Big-big crush for Baška. I’m captivated by the view: floating dry hills of the surrounding islets (all pictures of this post). Bad timing to find a shuttle boat to get there. In fact I even forgot to take my bikini! Perfect light in a hot late afternoon at an outdoor café overlooking the Adriatic Sea! Wow! Almost time to hit the road to Opatija, where I am invited tonight at a Croatian music hall (without subtitles). Sounds really exciting!
