We've never been a particularly jealous bunch. That is, until we saw the pictures from Selena Gomez's birthday celebrations in St Tropez.

Selena – joined by Cara Delevingne and new pal, Eli Mizrahi – has been celebrating her 22nd birthday by sunning it up on the coast of St Tropez. And by the looks of things on Instagram, the trio have been having a whale of a time.

Here are six reasons why we wish we were there:

1) To admire the outfits. Selena’s silk orange suit is gorgeous – although perhaps a little risqué if the wind blows.

2) To fly in a helicopter – obviously the coolest method of transport ever. Except, perhaps, a Segway.

3) Sitting on a yacht and watching the sun set off the coast of St Tropez is pretty enviable, right?

4) We want to take lying down selfies, too.

5) More glamour, more parties. Le sigh.

6) Getting to watch Cara bust out some groovy tunes on guitar.
