Thank you Super Mall...

Just on the outskirts of Nice there's a big mall called Cap 3000.  It's really big and has the one and only Starbucks in the South of France (that is until the Monaco one opens in a month!!! YEAH!!!-but that's not what this post is about, I digress)

Btw...this is how packed this place is ALL the time!  Hint hint.  (wake up France!)
Anyway, I thank the lovely Client that is the Cap 3000 for making my teenage dreams of being a fashion model come true and hiring me to do their Winter Magazine shoot last week.  They do a magazine highlighling different outfits made up from stores found in the mall.

I do love to work and there isn't very much here, so when the opportunity comes along I get a bit giddy.

Here are some snaps I grabbed as the photog viewed the work.




 




I was told that it's the last magazine they're going to be making, so I'm even more excited that I'm in their "Swan Song" issue.  When the magazine comes out I'll post what pics made it in. :)  Stay tuned...

UPDATE:  December 2013

Here are the winning shots for the Cap 3000 magazine....

Super cool, I'm the cover!





And there you have it.  I must say it's kinda cool having people I know here in Monaco, moms of school kids and the coffee guy at my local stop, ask me if that's me.  They didn't know what I did for a living.  My fifteen minutes. :)

An American Classic in Nice...

OMG, right here in Nice!  WE FOUND IT!!  And it's super cute.

After searching for true breakfast food American style, we have found someone who does it, and not too badly.  Mario at the Kililie's cafe in Nice.  He does a weekend brunch buffet from 10:30 til 3pm.

Now Bouchon let me down, but Kililie's has restored my faith.  Check it out...

Awww, old records as place mats.  A good recycling plan.

They have a buffet of fruits, muffins, hard boiled eggs, french toast and blueberry pancakes,
and that's before they bring out the other plate...
...had no idea this was gonna be paced in front of me!
Yummy!
Is maple syrup a true classic?  I think so, can't do breakfast without it in my opinion. :)



I can't really complain about any of the food and the service was super.  For three adults and two children we only spent 87 euros!  You can also order things from the menu, J had a massive cheese burger with fries and a chocolate milk shake, or go for the breakfast buffet as the rest of us did.  The buffet is only 20 euros and they split one between the kids for us.  Super sweet, thanks Mario.

I highly suggest a visit if you're in town and craving some good 'ole American diner food.  Which I fully believe you will!

As this is the closest we've gotten besides the over priced and mediocre food of Stars and Bars in Monaco, this will most likely be a weekly visit for us!  Hold our table Mario...

(If you're planning a vist to Chicago, you MUST go to the West Egg Cafe.  It's the best!)
