NICE PHOTO DIARY | QUEENBEADY

The moment we glided over the French Riviera on our descent, with the blue, crystal water and super yachts beneath us it appeared we had already entered heaven without even touching down yet. I’d been invited kindly by UniversityRooms.com to review some of their accommodation for a weekend and boy was I excited to arrive in the throws of this beautiful, elegant town. It was like Nice welcomed us with open arms. The sun beating down as we pounded the pavements to our apartment and the sea lapping against the pebble beach to our left. I uttered the words “I don’t want to go home” before we had even been there 15 minutes.

IT’S NICE IN NICE WITH UNIVERSITY ROOMS | QUEENBEADY

Back in July we made a little trip to Nice, a weekend of pure bliss (I so wish we could have spent longer there!) I’d been kindly invited by University Rooms to stay in one of their many university accommodations. After finding some cheap flights from Leeds Bradford on the 8th July we flew across to the French Riviera and boy, did we fall in love? After a very short journey on the bus and a very long walk because we go off at the wrong stop we eventually ended up at our accommodation, Résidence France Riviera. It was a little unassuming, set on the road that is set back just behind the promenade. With pretty wooden shutters and Juliette balconies it was the perfect start to our French adventure.

GALS. Listen up. I don’t know about you, but I love a good pair of shoes. Finding that perfect fit is brilliant and don’t get me started on handbags. I’m easily pleased. However, there is one thing that get’s me even more giddy and that’s finding a pair of sunglasses that match my face shape. I really struggle and I mean REALLY struggle. I have long struggled to find a pair of shades that suit my pea-head face and I believe I have found them in the form of the Erika Raybans in the #SGSFaceShape challenge. (I wish I looked cool in the Aviators!) DO YOU SEE HOW HAPPY I AM? And do you know what is even better? The Sunglasses Shop is offering one of you lucky lot the chance to win a trip to NYC. The Big bloody Apple.

CELEBRATING YORKSHIRE DAY | QUEENBEADY

It’s the 1st of August which means one thing & one thing only. IT’S YORKSHIRE DAY BISHES! I’m a proud Notherner and always have been, but I’m even more prouder that I have been born and bred in the most picturesque County of them all, Yorkshire. Bed Guru asked me to get snapping with a brand new Instax Polaroid to capture some of my favourite spots in & around Yorkshire so this last week I’ve been a busy Bee collecting some perfect polaroids for the #MyYorkshirePhoto campaign!

COME WITH ME TO NICE VLOG | QUEENBEADY

I wanted to start my Nice themed content with my Vlog. I’ve started to find so much joy in shooting videos along the way and coming home to edit them. It’s another creative outlet that I’ve become to love more & more. I prolonged adding any of my Nice content for a few weeks after the traumatic attack on the City. I feel now is a good time to start sharing with you some of the amazing sights we came across along the way. I can’t wait to share my photo diaries, hints & tips and more in future posts. So let me show you the nicest Creme Brulee I have ever eaten and the beautiful coastline, so join me, sit back with a cuppa and let me take you to the South of France and enjoy my Nice Vlog…
