Monte Carlo Shoes ...

Monte Carlo shoes on the steps of the Hotel de Paris. 

Diamonds and Crosses

Seen in Monte Carlo yesterday. Are these stockings (or tights) trying to copy the design on the Louis Vuitton handbag?

Escalator Beauty

A beautiful Monte Carlo lady leaving the Metropole shopping centre. She's about to get on the escalator which leads up to the Casino Gardens.

Blue Belt

Presumably this is a sort of floatation helt?  Really I don't know. Whether you can swim or not, I'd think it must be rather nice - just float and dream.

Note the cat on the earpiece of the headset - love it.

Monte Carlo Ladies and their Dogs

A Monte Carlo lady walking her dog on the end of that long lead - as you can see in the smaller photo.

Stylish

Stylish - walking past the Casino Gardens.

Winter Mode

Kermesse - Rummage

Nothing a good ol' rummage for a bargain at the Kermesse - even if you are a Monte Carlo lady ...

Booted

Just the thing for these chilly mornings - a nice pair of comfy boots ...

Spotted outside the supermarket in Fontvieille. Well, what else would you wear to do the weekly shop?

Short Shorts

Short shorts seems to be the way to go this year.  And if I had legs like that, I'd be wearing them too!

This couple are on the promenade that runs from Portier to the beginning of Larvotto Beach, which you see in the distance.

Attitude

Monte Carlo ladies have a certain attitude, don't they?  A certain confidence, I suppose.  Of course beauty helps. 

Night Out in Monaco

Coral seems to be the going colour this year.

These ladies are ready for a night out in Monte Carlo.  They are walking across the forecourt in front of the Grimaldi Forum on Avenue Princesse Grace. 

Toned Beauty

Don't you love how the soft salmon colour of this lady's dress tones so beautifully with her gorgeous hair.  Note the shoe colour too.

She's walking towards Larvotto Beach and looking towards Cap Martin.

Red, not Dead

After Marc Quinn's exhibition at the Oceanographic Museum of skeletons, dead people fornicating over fire and a head made of his blood ... let's look at a live red-blooded Monte Carlo lady.

Tp Marques - Smile for the camera ...

More pretty girls at Top Marques and all of them happy to smile for the camera ...

Even tho the first photo is blurry, there's something I like about it - a playful, natural look to her lovely smile - so here it is. 

Pink Ribbon Day! - Pretend Champagne

Puddles from the early rain produce reflections of a little girl at the Pink Ribbon Walk.

These two beauties are sisters who were born in Monaco and make great models as they play up to the photographers. Don't you love the mini-pretend-champagne! Monte Carlo Ladies in the making!

Pink Ribbon Day! - More Monte Carlo Ladies

More gorgeous Monte Carlo ladies who took part in the inaugural Pink Ribbon Walk, in aid of cancer research, in Monaco on Sunday.

How does the lady below change the settings on her camera with those fingernails! Good for her!

Pink Ribbon Day!

Yesterday Monaco went pink! It was the first Monaco Pink Ribbon day - where women (and men) walk on behalf of breast cancer awareness. The organisation was great, atmosphere was fabulous, people turned up in crazy outfits and of course money was raised for this great charity.

Movingly, many people walked on behalf of a mother, a sister, a loved one lost to cancer, and pinned notices to their backs (see last photo). We'll see more of these another day.

Come back tomorrow for much more...

Swish...for International Women's Day

Couldn't resist the swish of this lady's cape.

It's a day late, but nevertheless a photo for yesterday's International Women's Day.
