Lacabane Bali

I decided this hotel deserves a post all of it’s own!! Why? Because choosing a place to stay half way around the world is hard, and we struck gold with this one. There are so many adorable places to stay in Bali, and also very ritzy places that you can stay for a bargain. There are bamboo huts, and tree houses, just so many choices! I knew for at least one of our. stays I would want something that felt like true Bali, with the amenities of being at a resort. Lacabane is just that, and more!!!

Seyminak/ Canggu

First off let me help you out, it’s pronounced CHANG-Goo. Yeah I was stumped on that one too and looked like a fool trying to talk to my friends who had been there before about the towns I wanted to visit, so I’m helping you out!! And let me just tell you, YOU WANT TO VISIT HERE!!!! Actually I could of spent 2 weeks in this area and just barely scratched the surface. This is the Bali hot spot. This is where all the hipsters hang! Cute coffee shops, specialty açaí bowls, creatively decorated ice cream cones, and countless insta worthy spots. Most of the pictures you see online happen in this area!!!

Uluwatu

Venture just 45 minutes west of Nusa Dua (45 minutes south of Denspar) and you will be in Uluwatu. Sooo many heart eyes for this area. Again, super private beaches for a quite and relaxing time. But this area also has some of the best surfing and secret beaches.

Nusa Dua

The bottom little section of Bali I would describe as the relaxing beachy area. The east side is called Nusa Dua, and this is where most of the more common hotel chains are. As tired, jet lagged, already culture shocked Americans, this was the perfect place to start.

My dream job come true- a week in Mexico

I started dabbling in the instagram world back in 2012. Back when I thought it was just a way to edit photos. A lot of you have heard the story, so I won’t re tell it, but it started as a way to be creative in my wardrobe. Over the course of the last 7 years I have been all over the place, from fashion to beauty, to lifestyle, travel and home. And to my surprise a lot of you stuck with me on my journey to figure out my space in the digital world. No, this is not a post to say I’ve finally figured it out (will we ever really know??) But it is to say that after all this time I finally landed my dream gig!!! Styling others!!!

Summer fashion finds

Each season I tend to have a running list of things I’m on the hunt for. Things that will make up a capsule wardrobe for that season. Items I will literally wear on repeat. For the first time in a long time, I got my stuff together so that I could share my list with all of you!! Below are my summer must have pieces, with both high and low options.

Hong Kong on an 8 hour layover

We took the quick 2 hour flight to Hong Kong and you would of thought we arrived in a whole new world. We went from cold and gloomy, to warm, sunny, and tropical. The locals were prepared. They dressed so cute and stylish on the plane. Girls in mini skirts and sweaters with their hair in clips. Spring colored designer bags. Boys in linen jackets. I’m telling you, the couture was off the chain.
