What I'm Packing: Mexico



My boyfriend and I are leaving for Playa del Carmen, Mexico on Monday!  I was in Playa two years ago with some of my friends from college and we had a blast!  Playa del Carmen is in the Mayan Riviera on the Caribbean Ocean.  It started out as a small fishing town so it is very laid back- I love it! Take a look at some of the things I will be packing...

1. Nook Color 2. Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge for lips and cheeks (in Cabo Coral) is great for the beach! 3. JCrew Factory Solid Tank Dress in Papaya is an easy travel dress 4. Cozumel Tote 5. Isharya set of 6 brass plated bangles 6. Panama Hat 7. In addition to my aviators i'm taking these Versace sunglasses 8.The best suncreen ever! Clarins Spray Oil-Free Tanning Lotion SPF 15 9. Leather Capri Sandals 10. High-waisted swimsuit from Urban Outfitters

I will be gone until August 2nd, but my friend Whitney will be guest blogging! 

Have a great weekend!

Luggage Lust

I know what you are thinking, luggage lust? reallyyy?  But, let me explain! My boyfriend and I are going to Playa del Carmen, Mexico next month, and I am in desperate need of new luggage! The suitcase I have been working with is pretty unfortunate. Imagine a pattern very similar to the one on Mary Poppin's carpet bag and then imagine it missing a wheel.  I am dying for these from SteamLine Luggage! They are beautiful AND much more affordable than similar styles.

I am also loving these double sided leather luggage tags.  They feature hand stitching and an adjustable strap. The tags can also be personalized with your own contact information or phrases like, "Hands Off", "Not Your Bag" and my personal favorite, "My Clothes Won't Fit You". 

They are so pretty!

These luggage tags also make great wedding or shower gifts for a jet-setting couple. They start at $35.00 from Hong Kong based HarLex shop on Etsy.com.

Miami on My Mind...

Until today I had never had a desire to visit Miami. That all changed when I got my first glimpse of The Raleigh Hotel in South Beach. Take a look...


The Raleigh Hotel Pool- Amazing!





The Pool Bar



The Royal Restaurant

The Oasis- an outdoor event space at The Raleigh has been home to many fashion shows and celeb parties

"When it comes to South Beach hotels, those fortunate enough to have experienced The Raleigh, claim it has a perfect blend of characteristics:  Chic, yet warm and inviting; glamorous, yet without attitude; historically iconic, yet tastefully modernized." - Raleighhotel.com


I am ready to pack my bags! Who is coming with me?
