Adios Mis Amigos!

I cannot believe the day is here! Tomorrow morning I will be jetting off to Cancun, where we will take a car to Playa del Carmen and stay for four days at Le Reve Hotel and Spa, three days at Cabanas La Luna in Tulum, and back to Cancun for a night.

My boyfriend and I are planning on exploring the numerous underwater caves (cenotes), the beautiful island of Cozumel, Xelha, Xacaret, the Mayan Ruins in Tulum and whatever other adventures come our way! Of course, there will be plentiful naps, delicious margaritas and mouthwatering food. I seriously cannot wait...

I am resisting the urge to take my laptop (gasp) so I will be out of commission in the blogosphere until I return July 11th. Stay tuned for numerous pictures and stories when I return! Hasta luego mis amigos!! xo

Spring into Pattern!

With Spring in full effect, what better way to celebrate than with bold and beautiful pattern? From the runway to the home, pattern is springing up left and right, and I personally am all about the bright and attention-getting designs this year!

Spring Outfit Inspiration

Lately, I have been completely obsessing over this trend for Spring. I love the punch of bold color against the earthy neutrals, which help to balance out and completely freshen up the look. Inspiration for my Thursday outfit, perhaps?

Fabulous for Spring: Bright & Colorful Pants

 

I am absolutely crushing over this look for Spring. My favorite look is the bright pants paired with nude or brown sandals and a camel or nude top. I love the contrast between the soft neutrals paired with the bold colors--just the perfect amount of color pop. However, I think the color block look (which has been everywhere on the runway for Spring) is absolutely fun and fresh as well. A must have in my closet, for sure!

Need to Get Away

This has been one of those rather insane weeks. It has been one of those weeks where my heart hasn't stopped racing from everything going on. I am so excited to get away this weekend and spend time with dear friends and just RELAX! Yearning for lazy walks by the pier, long lunches filled with laughter and catching up on much needed sleep!

Dreaming of a NY inspired weekend

I am seriously dying to go back to New York right now, especially with Spring right around the corner! The energy is like no other in the country, or the world for that matter. The last time I was there was last Spring when I visited one of my dearest friends from college. Thankfully, she is coming to visit in a couple weeks and I know she will bring her New York fab & pizazz with her! Even though the possibilities of me hopping on a jet to NYC tonight are slim to none, I am thinking that I need to book a ticket for a weekend soon. Very soon. Have a wonderful weekend everyone! xo

Spring Stripes

With the sun in full force (yes, it is amazing to live in Cali & we are totally spoiled), I can't help but start planning my spring outfits! I know that stripes have been around for many seasons, but during this season in particular, stripes are beaming more than ever and are overflowing with nautical personality and sass on the spring 2011 runways.
