Bahama Mama //

Island Fever...

I took a fun vacation with my best girlfriend to the amazing Bahama Islands!! I didn't really know what to expect before coming here, but man was I impressed!!

Everywhere you look there are colorful buildings, amazing beaches and crystal blue water as far as the eyes can see. The people here are all so friendly and helpful, obviously as a tourist you don't know your way around or where the "local" places to go, but we were lucky enough to get some great tips on the best places to go! Fun fact: There are over 300 islands in the Bahamas, and the cute little sign behind me indicates the directions of some of them.

One of my favorite tropical outfits to date is this colorful set from Berkeley Eleven. Again I can't seem to stop wearing this style of outfit, it just works perfectly with my body type and figure! I love being able to style the top in different ways by tying it in the front or back. The wrap skirt also is so fun to wear with an open slit in the front to make it easy to show a little leg ;)

Lady Bag In The Jungle //

Lady Bag In The Jungle...

Ever since I could remember, I have wanted a Louis Vuitton purse, didn't everyone?? I would see women walking around with them on, wishing I would one day have one, well that day has finally come! I recently found this amazing online website called The Lady Bag that sells previously owned designer bags! 

I am a sucker for a good cross-body bag, but I was shocked to find that this one was double-sided!! With flaps on both sides of the bag and awesome shoulder protection on the strap, this purse hasn't left my arm since the day I got it! This bag also has an adjustable strap so you can change it for any height or desired length. This bag is also the original LV print, which I have always favored and think it will always remain a classic :)

Stairway To The Jungle //

Jungle Stairways...

When driving around here in New Zealand, you see a lot of hidden paths and stairs that give it a little mystery. I especially loved this stairway surrounded by all the amazing plants and greenery!

What's an awesome staircase if you don't have a flowy dress to twirl around and look awesome in?!?! This amazing high-low black dress from Fortunate One Store does exactly that! This wrap dress has the perfect flattering neckline and gives an elegant look with the long drapery in the hemline.

You can shop this dress HERE.

I paired this dress with some of my favorite sandals from Verao Sandals. These sandals give any outfit a little bit of spice! I love that these sandals are simple and thin, with the leopard print on them, they gave my dress a really fun look! These sandals also have the cutest turquoise bottoms on them, so when you walk, people get a little surprise underneath!

I decided to pair some simple earrings with this look to top it off, these crescent moon earrings from Sacred Adornments did just that! I love the detailing in this accessory, with the quartz crystal drop to create a more boho look and the moon/star pendant to bring it all to life!

Black Sand & Blue Skies //

Black Sand & Blue Skies...

One of the coolest things about New Zealand is their black sand beaches, although really amazing to see, sure does burn your feet when it's hot! The contrast of the turquoise water with the black sand truly is remarkable and something everyone needs to see!

I decided to make a statement in this epic outfit from Fortunate One Store, a boutique based in Australia. I paired this amazing black, lace body suit with a silky silver skirt to give it a little bit of edge and elegance. The body suit has embroidered lace and is very comfortable to wear. The silver skirt fit like a glove and moved in the wind and made me feel like a ballerina!

I styled this look with some of my favorite bangles and rings from Durrah Jewelry, a local jewelry designer in Los Angeles. I'm wearing an assortment of bangles with different metal colors and styles, these bracelets are so fun to wear all at the same time, stacked on both arms and go with any outfit!

I have a few rings on from this same collection, these open-ended rings, make for a unique look and are easy to stack with one another or wear with other rings!
