Paris, Cannes, Athens, Istanbul.
From rainy mornings at Saint Tropez, nights at Cannes’ Croisette, back to Athens and Chiara Feragni’s arrival to celebrate Madame Figaro’s 20th anniversary party , I always come to the conclusion that luxury is a state of mind.
It lies in the simplicity and the joie de vivre.
Last week’s joyful moments
This is a shot I took, just before departing from Cannes.
There are no filters, because they are not needed.
The sun set light enabled me to shoot the best spontanuous pics
….Again here in Cannes, the thing I enjoyed the most was not my Michelin dinners or the champagne parties
but the jogging at the Croisette watching the changing colours of the sky and then resting on a bench watching the sea and the locals around me.
Back in Athens, the event of the season was the “Glitter Everywhere” 20 years party of Madame Figaro Magazine with Chiara Ferragni as guest of honour.
Here are a few peek of Chiara’s entrance plus the Maraveya & LenasBlackBook team before the party

Giouzenis jewels sent to us for #GlitterEverywhere MF party

After that fashion-glitz event, my agenda was full of tastings and launches, a few that I really enjoyed
….Stay tuned for Istanbul’s best and more festive Athenian moments to come next week
