December 2010 Archive

How have I never heard of the online store Poetrie before? I just found the site while Googling for my sister’s Christmas gift (yes, I’m running late!). They have totally gorgeous dresses and accessories with a vintage inspired slant, and lucky for us, they have a sale on some awesome holiday dresses right now! Here’s my favorite: the Manhattan Moon dress. It’s super sparkly with silver sequins all over, and there are three sheer black bows that tie the back together. It’s such a surprise and gives an otherwise ordinary sequin dress a nice touch.

Last week, I introduced you to the first stop on my Top 10 Travel List of Places I’d Like to Visit (try to say that 10 times fast). That list continues this week, and I hope you love this resort as much as I do.

I seriously fell in love with the Esperanza Resort in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Oh. My. Goodness. It is too gorgeous.

An Auberge Resort, Esperanza was named the Top Mexican Resort and Top Mexican Spa in 2010 by Travel + Leisure. Comprised of casitas, suites, villas, and private residences, the resort boasts multiple dining venues, the award-winning spa, exclusive private beach with service, a yoga and pilates studio with complimentary daily yoga lessons, an art and sculpture gallery, and much more. It’s absolutely breathtaking, and I can’t wait to share the photos any more! Enjoy!

And of course a wedding set up to wrap it up:

This Mesh Ruffle Dream dress by Steve Madden could be re-worn for lots of wedding activities and be dressed up or down. I love the color (plum velvet), cascading front ruffles, and affordable price tag (just $44.80 at Zappos!) are all positives in my book.
