Yesterday, I shared one of my looks from our quick adventure in Monaco. On one side of the city/country is Monte Carlo, home to the Prince of Monaco and a stunning view of the port. On the other side is Monte Carlo, which you might ring a bell for its lavish casinos. Totally unnecessary, but I changed into this little black dress to get into the gambling state of mind.

To be honest, gambling stresses me THE EFF out. I’ve had my fair share of Vegas when I was younger, but even then I would hunker down at the penny slots as long the free drinks flowed. We wandered into the Casino Café de Paris and decided in advance that we would only spend 60€ before walking away. We sat down at a Game of Thrones themed slot machine and blew through 20€ in three spins. I was pretty much ready to peace out there, but James ushered us over to a more discreet looking slot machine (it was mermaid themed) and began what would soon be a rollercoaster of emotions for me.

In a span of an hour, we doubled our money, lost it all, added more than we agreed upon, doubled it again, almost lost it all, then finally doubled it again. At that point, we had put in 80€ and were at about 160€. That was enough to cover our train tickets to Monaco, our lunch and the three glasses of rose I needed to take the nerve off gambling (and thensome). Clearly, gambling is not my forte, but getting dressed for it definitely is!

During our trip to the French Riviera, we ventured out to Monaco for the afternoon. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect of this principality/city-state/tiny little country nestled within France, but it didn’t disappoint.

Monaco was an easy 20-minute train ride from Nice or a 45-min bus ride if you prefer the scenic route along the gorgeously blue coastline of Cote d’Azur. It’s not a big town, so we only spent the afternoon there — arriving just in time for lunch, a stroll through the streets of Monaco-Ville and then across the way to Monte Carlo.

It’s about a 30-minute leisurely walk from one end to the other. Not bad by New York standards, but under the Mediterranean sun, it can get quite a bit hot! That’s obviously where this cold shoulder romper comes in handy. I knew I wanted to dress up for Monaco, but not at the expense of heat exhaustion. Every single street was full of charm and the pretty ruffle details and satiny finish helped me fit right in.

P.S. My thoughts on what you should pack for a summer trip to Nice.
