An Idyllic Scene in Playa Blanca

Paradise lost? Naaa..it's right here in Playa Blanca, Punta Cana (not to be mistaken with Bávaro where the beaches don't even come close). Walk out as far as you like here, the water will still only brush your knees. Dominican Republics's pristine beaches are unrivaled in sheer beauty and what makes them even better is the absolutely dee-licious food served straight to your humble little abode on the sand. I'm really craving one of those fresh piña coladas in a pineapple. Yum!

TRAVEL BOOKS : In the Spirit of St. Barths

Sundays are great for some reading inspiration so here is a coffee table book I've been eyeballing for weeks, In the Spirit of St. Barths. The author gives a personal look at this chic Caribbean island – think yachts, champagne, beautiful beaches and beautiful people. The last chapter contains hotel picks, villa rentals, restaurants, bars, clubs, and shops so it almost doubles as a nice guidebooks. The eye candy in this one made me want to get to St. Barth's sooner rather than later!

Going Retro on Nikki Beach

I searched high and low for the perfect retro style, red one-piece until I finally found it by JETS Jessika Allen, an Australian designer that makes gorgeous 'premium luxury swimwear'. My sun hat kept getting blown by the wind into the shape of Captain Morgan's pirate hat, haha, so I decided to ditch it... Just a cool little day at the beach, making faces at Jenn, and taking pics of our feet :-P
