Move over Ina Garten, when I die I want to come back as Vera Wang.
I've decided that Vera Wang is living one of the most fabulous lives imaginable. Not only is she a wildly successful businesswoman, but she's celebrating milestone birthdays in style.
Vera wrote a small piece for the April issue of Vogue about her recent trip to France. She and a group of close friends celebrated her 60th birthday with a trip to Paris and the South of France for a "moveable feast." Their tour of the Cote d' Azur brought them to the Hotel du Cap Eden Roc in Antibes. I have to say, the hotel is stunningly beautiful and the setting is straight out of an F. Scott Fitzgerald novel. I've made a mental note to visit the next time I'm in the region. (How GOOPy of me!)
The hotel has a long history of catering to the rich and famous, and even lists celebrity guests alphabetically on their website. (A garish move for a five-star hotel if you ask me, but I digress....)
Vera says packing was a cinch: boyish t-shirts, shorts, and Eres swimsuits were all that were needed. She spent her days, "relaxing and reading, eating, sleeping, and meandering the grounds." Sounds pretty amazing to me!
She describes eight straight days of:
Breakfast on the terrace...
Lunch by the pool overlooking the yachts...
Swimming...
...and apertifs before going out to dinner.
In other Vera news, Gilt Groupe featured her Vera Wang Collection line as one of their sales yesterday. These were my favorite pieces from the sale.
P.S. How perfect is that sapphire blue dress for sipping apertifs at the Hotel du Cap Eden Roc?
