I'm off to Arizona today for Thanksgiving... so excited! Although I must say, Erin Wasson is making staying at the beach for the holidays look pretty nice.

A Mexican Datingmoon

This Vanity Fair July 2013 editorial is the perfect sendoff post as I head to Mexico today!

I'm going on what I like to call a datingmoon. A datingmoon is different than a honeymoon because people who take datingmoons aren't married. A datingmoon is also different than a babymoon because people who take datingmoons aren't married or expecting a baby. So, datingmoons are for couples who are dating that just want an excuse to go on a fun vacation together! 

With than said, Hasta Luego! Viva Mexico!

Check out my Mexico playlist below...

P.s. on my Mexico playlist:

• HAIM - The Wire
• Amos Lee - The Man Who Wants You
• Kings Of Leon - Wait For Me
• AlunaGeorge - You Know You Like It
• NONONO - Pumpin' Blood
• Hacienda - Savage
• Jake Owen - Days of Gold
• Josh Thompson - Cold Beer With Your Name On It
• Luke Bryan - That's My Kind of Night

Au Natural

I love this Malibu Magazine shoot... it just goes to show that a simple and au natural look (air dried hair and little to no makeup) is truly beautiful.

Raring To Go

I, like most of you, have to get through today before the long holiday weekend begins. The 4th of July is possibly my favorite holiday so tomorrow can't come soon enough! I'll be spending the long weekend bouncing between Laguna, Newport, and Del Mar. What are your holiday plans?

Please, take me to the beach already. Please, give me summertime American red desserts. Please tell me it's time to get stars & stripes festive! Cheers!

You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman

Model Edita Vilkeviciute looks insanely womanly and beautiful in this summertime Vogue Paris editorial. It is one of the most knockout editorials I have seen in awhile. I adore her hair, her face structure is perfect, and she holds an incredibly strong presence in what looks like (but isn't - she's from Lithuania) her natural environment. Girl crush alert!
