Pin Roundup

I've once again been searching high and low for content, and then once again I remembered, oh yea, Pinterest! Sometimes I can't find a thing online, but Pinterest always has it going on.  So here's Pin Roundup #2 for 2015.

I'm loving these black Nike sneaks, they're pretty awesome.

Who What Wear has a great roundup of cheap sunglasses that look expensive.  These Mango sunnies are dreamy and only $20 bucks.

This picture of the sea in all of nature's glory is epic.

I'm totally obsessed with this glittery smokey eye.

All I want is for my hair to grow as long as possible, yet I'm still completely smitten with this fantastic bob.  The make-up is fab as well.

I'm so in love with these earrings, there are no words.  I must hunt and gather something similar.

And my need for a vacation is beyond.  Bora Bora is sure looking good.

Dream Vacation ~ Seychelles Islands

The Seychelles Islands look absolutely magnificent.  I never thought about going until I saw some pictures online, and then I freaked out.  It's paradise incarnate!  Never mind it's one of the last matriarchal societies on the planet (how rad is that?).  Located off the coast of Africa, in the Indian Ocean, this is a dream vacation to say the least.  Find more information on this divine land here.

First Week of 2015 - Pinterest Roundup

Happy New Year lovies!  I needed a blogging break over the holidays, but I'm back and ready to create some fun posts over the next 12 months.  I have lots of ideas, beauty tips, interviews and more in store, I'm excited!  All this week I've been searching high and low for content to start the year, but nothing grabbed my attention. Then I remembered what always has tons of inspiration for me (and everyone) is Pinterest.  Of course, the content isn't always the most current, but I'm not concerned with the latest trends.  I just want to be inspired by great fashion, awesome beauty, amazing travel, gorgeous interiors, and yummy food.  So I'm starting a Pin Roundup feature that will be rolling all year.  Here's the first one. 

Love this look from Massimo Dutti for Winter 2015.  It's so clean and fresh.

I'm currently obsessed with sweet potatoes, and my mouth watered when I saw these vegan sweet potato quinoa patties.  They look delish.

This is some street style I can get behind.  Love the yellow, gray & black combination, and the whole look in general is so cute.

I need much more art in my life this year.  I've been feeling the desire to paint and draw again, after years of being on hiatus.  This painting by Dejan Dukic is gorgeous and inspiring.

This make-up is 2015 perfection.  It's captivating, but not overwhelming.  And the denim + hat combo is super cute, without trying so hard.  Keep it simple, it's one of my New Year mottos.

I love fashion, but I'm also totally obsessed with interior design.  This kitchen is pretty much the cocina of my dreams.

Love this bun, it's super modern and very refreshing.  A great look for the new year. 

Manhattan pins abound, and I love seeing them all. I'm craving lots of NYC time in 2015, it feels imperative.

I also love all the inspirational pins I see.  These are some serious words to live by, and the theme of 2015.  It's a powerful year of expansion, action, and manifestation (it's an infinity 8 year).  Let's all be victorious, shall we?  Wishing each of you the best year yet!!

Papaya Playa ~ Tulum, Mexico

Growing up in San Diego, it was just a given that you spent a lot of time in Baja, Mexico.  It was my families go-to vacation spot, and when I was a teen-ager, my entire high school filled the Tijuana bars on the weekends. Needless to say, I fell in love with Mex when I was very young.  There's something special about this country, and it gets into your blood.  As well as Baja, I've ventured down into the Mainland a few times, but I've never made it all the way to the Yucatán Peninsula.  It's now time.

I've been planning a trip to Tulum in 2015, and sourcing boutique hotels.  Papaya Playa stole my heart.  This place looks like a gem of gems.  It's right on the beach, secluded, eco-conscious, with amazing interiors, and the most relaxed vibe around.  Plus, the room rates are incredibly reasonable.  If you're looking for a Mexican getaway, check out more info on this spot here.

Dream Vacation ~ The Maldives

I think the word paradise must have originated on these islands.  This place is absolutely breathtaking.  I'm not dreaming of a white Christmas, I'm dreaming of a Maldives tropical one!

Dream Vacation ~ Costa Rica

Costa Rica is definitely on the top of my dream vacation list.  Everyone I know who has gone falls madly in love with this country.  It's one of the most gorgeous and peaceful places on earth, what's not to love?!
