It was lunch time on a faithful day in Monte Carlo. I headed to Hotel de Paris, the luxury 5 star hotel that housed some of the top restaurants in Monte Carlo central.

I was greeted by the smartly dressed staff at Hotel de Paris, where I was informed that my restaurant was at the 8th floor, the highest floor in the Hotel. Oh, top floor? Views for days! I thought to myself.

To my pleasant surprise, the hotel lift had a seat. That’s certainly a first for me. Although I was 15 minutes early for my lunch reservation, I was given a pleasant welcome and was sat by the glass balcony, with a panoramic view of beautiful Monte Carlo. The moment was truly surreal and the views felt like the epitome of luxury.

I opt for a pink wrap dress, with shoulder pads and flattering deep V neck cut. I paired my look with Jacquemus’s lace up heels and my baby birkin tagged along with me.
