Oh the things we do for photos… stumbled off the highway, onto a road that looked like it had a path for cars, and found the mecca of all cactus farms. I labeled this post Cactus Snakes because while we were searching for the perfect cactus to take photos with, I almost died by getting bit from a rattlesnake. They were everywhere! We also stumbled onto, what seemed like, a drug lab...

I have recently completed an extensive analysis on girlfriend sleepovers and more specifically an analysis on girl-on-girl pillow fights. After months of case studies, surveys, interviews, sleepovers, and focus groups- a few conclusions have become obvious...
Read moreLa Paz
We were told that La Paz was where we needed to go for the best snorkeling in Baja. There is no doubt in my mind that this was accurate information (Thanks Meghan!). About an hour and a half by car from San Cristóbal, you’ll arrive at a small beach called Playa Balandra. It has some of the clearest water that I have ever seen and it was a little slice of heaven. We stayed there for a few hours and took these photos, went snorkeling with the colorful fish, and decided to set up camp a little ways down at Playa del Tecolote, and find ourselves a beach club to rage...

Hotel San Cristóbal, N° Km 54+ 23300, 800, Carretera Federal 19, Todos Santos, B.C.S., México.

Some of the world’s most prolific artists, writers, and philosophers lived during the mid-15th century in the heart of the Renaissance paving the way for how we think about many of the industries that exist in today’s world. Duomo’s gothic architecture was made popular throughout the early 13th century when the construction first started on the cathedral. Without knowing the history, you would never know that the cathedral actually took over six centuries to complete. There were many different people involved, but they created, what I consider to be, the most intricate and beautiful cathedral in the world...
Read moreBack In Milano
Sarah and I closed out our multi-week, multi-destination European trip in Milano. On our last night, we sipped cocktails at a rooftop bar called Il Bar, nested at the top of the Milan’s main department store, Rinascente. We decided that Milan would be the perfect place for us to end our trip, since it was the place that we started our trip together (and mainly because we could also hop on the direct Emirates flight from Malpensa to JFK)...
Read moreAntibes Diaries
Finally back in my beloved Antibes. It feels like a lifetime since I was here and to be honest I’ve been counting down every day, minute, and second until I would be back. I’m so excited to be spending a few days here at Hôtel du Cap Eden-Roc and Hôtel Juana. While Sarah and I opted for not doing full-on photoshoots here in Antibes *to be fair, we have done multiple shoots in every city that we’ve traveled to and a girls gotta have a break sometime... *, I decided that I would do a “Checking-In” and a “Diaries” post to make up for it. I also just really wanted to share those mini-moments from Instagram stories, iPhone, and Polaroid...
Read moreChecking-In from Antibes
Just a quick update from the bright and colorful Antibes. Sarah and I are currently in the South of France continuing our holiday together and there is no other preferred holiday spot (IMO) than Antibes. It is simply perfect here; it’s posh, civilized, and the most relaxing spot in the SOF. I’m sure you have seen on my Instagram stories our check-ins, pillow fights, and tennis outings from The Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc, but if you haven’t been following along, we have had such an enjoyable past few days...
Read morePerdue dans un rêve en Cap-Ferrat
At an early age, I learned from my mother that taste cannot be acquired. It doesn't matter how much money you throw at it, those without taste will simply never have taste. While these flourishes may seem gimmicky to some, I have to say from experience I have to agree with her. Cap-Ferrat is another super posh seaside commune of the Alpes-Maritimes region in southeastern France...
Read moreCoco in Wonderland
Princess Irene Galitzine of Russia popularized her version of the Palazzo Pant in the 1960s. Traditionally, these pants were wide-legged trousers made of silk or sturdy tapestry fabrics that were embellished with different types of embroidery and jewels, but her version of the pant were slim, flowing, and graphic...
