Fall Fashion Picks

posted on: Friday, August 29, 2014





Where has the summer gone? Fall is just sneaking right up on us isn't it! For this season I really wanted to play around more with neuturals just to change up my closet a little, and put a bit more of an edge into my style. I have always been a bit unsure of how stilettos looked on me, because of my very skinny ankles!, but, I'm going to give it a go... Keep on the look out for more future posts! 
 Here are some of my Inspiration picks! You also can shop directly from the post!

VMAs vs. Emmys

posted on: Tuesday, August 26, 2014


Beyonce - Nicolas Jebran // Iggy Azalea - Atelier Versace // Rita Ora: Donna Karan


Camilla Alves: Zahair Murad // Sarah Highland: Christian Siriano // Halle Berry: Elie Saab

Ahhh the red carpet anticipation! Two major events held back to back in the last two was delightfully impressive when it came to fashion, which I personally think is ALOT more intriguing than the actual shows itself. Everyone stepped up their A - game, and brought the most stunning gowns to the carpet! Above are my top 3 picks from the MTV VMAs and Emmys. It was so  hard to choose just one, but definitely Miss  Iggy Izalea had her couture level ON point! The stunning silver Versace number fit her perfectly - while also  showing off her tiny waist, and most famous derrière. Who is your top pick?

Get ready with the bride

posted on: Sunday, August 24, 2014











True friendships aren't about being inseparable, its being separated and nothing changes. <3

6am wakeup calls are not my cup of tea, but I was so excited and honored to be a part of my best friend Stefanie's big day. 
08.23.14

Frantically trying to get 5 girls ready in 5 hours isn't exactly as easy as it sounds, but Stefanie managed to keep her calm, finish up her speech, so that everything ran smoothly! She provided the bridesmaids with beautiful pink silk robes each with our initials embroidered and jewelry to wear for the wedding - all in which were to die for! I always knew she would turn out to be the perfect bride with her thickest blond hair. electric blue eyes, and of course her pure manicured nails decorated in pearls. Oh! and her dress needless to say was.....PERFECT - A morning full of beauty and laughter I will never forget. 

To my Lover , 9 years of friendship an and many more to come! Wishing you a lifetime of happiness!

Love, Racq xoxo

Na Xamena

posted on: Thursday, August 21, 2014











Ahhhhh ......Pure Bliss.

 After Spending 4 weeks in Ibiza with family and friends it was so nice to getaway for a few days with Tim. We checked  into the most secluded and remote hotel about 30 minutes outside of Ibiza town - Although it was raining cats and dogs upon arrival - I was taken back by the most impeccable view suspended  500ft above sea level. 

I would most definitely recommend the "cascada suspendidas" - A water circuit  treatment located on the peak of the cliffs each consisting of 8 pools targeting different areas of the body!

Hacienda Na Xamena see you next summer!

Thank you for the most amazing Birthday My Love 

Besos xo Racquel
