Salut Cannes!

So it was early Saturday morning and I woke up to a bright sunlight. I usually don't like getting up early especially during the weekend but this was the day when Team Finland, aka me, Fanny and Iiris were gonna go visit lovely Cannes. The weather couldn't have been more perfect. As Fanny wanted to get an  early workout done at the gym me and Iiris took the bus and she followed later by train. The bus ride took about an hour and a half and it only cost 1 euro! That's how cheap you can go to places here I just love it.

When we arrived in Cannes we were greeted by the sun and since it was early we decided to take a walk around the beach. It was beautiful. A sand beach with clear water and nice small waves. Listening to the sea was just so relaxing. We sat down and enjoyed some snacks and enjoyed the sunshine.

    Scarf: Gucci (a souvenir from our trip to Florence)

    Bag: Chanel Classic Flap Bag Maxi Jumbo in Lambskin

Fanny joined us later and we thought it would be nice to check out La Croisette, the main luxury shopping street in Cannes. We walked in the sunshine and after noticing a really nice café at the beach decided to take a little break and sit down for a minute. After some resting we continued walking down the street and found ourselves in the Yves Saint Laurent store. Everything was displayed so lovely there and my eye was caught by a fabulous YSL clutch which I had to get. Everyone was so nice to us and we all agreed that the male sales assistant was very  sweet also. Next stop shoes. Right next door at the Jimmy Choo store. I said I'd only look but I couldn't help it so I found myself buying a pair.

After serious shopping we were all getting kind of hungry but found ourselves in a huge crowd right on La Croisette. You wanna know why? The annual NRJ Music Awards were gonna be here live tonight and a lot of celebrities were gonna show up. Of course we thought they were all French so we pretty much ignored the crowd and kept walking.

NRJ Music Awards 2013 in Cannes Palais des Festivals where the Cannes Film Festival is held annually. This is where the Eurovision song contest has also taken place a few times.

We found a great pizza place by the beach and really enjoyed our time under the warmth of the heating lamps on the restaurant terrace with some wine also. Then it was time to head home. The bus passed the music award scene on our way out of the city and it felt like the crowd had just grown bigger. Of course we were thinking about if we should've stayed, maybe we could've seen someone famous after all. Well we should've been smarter. After turning on the Award show on on tv at home that night I noticed PSY was actually performing Gangnam Style LIVE on the red carpet! Now we were all mad at ourselves! Well better luck next time. We also could've seen Taylor Swift, Alicia Keys and Carly Rae Jepsen. Too late now. Since we had had a long day we decided to skip parties that night and charge our batteries. We can all agree on that it was an amazing day with nice weather, great company and fun new experiences. I will definitely head back to Cannes soon. ;)
