Mexican Escape to Todo Santos

I really need to get better at posting more often! Promise my loves, I am getting better :)

About a day and a half after coming back from San Fransico,  I headed down south, a short 2 hour flight from LA to Baja California with a new start up company called , The Paradise Society.

 The trip consisted of  we chilling, taking amazing photos for some rad brands, eating amazing food, and a bit of yoga!

 Shannon Barker   and Lacy Claire two gorgeous models,  Derren Versoza my all time favorite photog and myself, spent 3 nights in the coziest yoga retreat and botique hotel Pachamama Mexico located in Todo Santos about an hour and a half drive from San Jose del Cabo Airport. 

The coziest part of the trip was sleeping in the most luxurious Teepees that I have ever seen! they were  surprisingly very modern inside. Pachamama gave us the five star treatment with a personal chef who provided us with the tastiest homemade guacamole that has ever entered my mouth!

If you are ever looking to visit the Baja I would highly suggest this luxurious yet simple Retreat.

San Francisco with BEBE x Foray Collective

Bringing you back about two weekends ago!

 I headed to San Fransicso with all of my favorite blogger babes for a Getaway with bebe! The Afternoon upon arrival was a bit chilly and gloomy but the girls and I headed straight to the famous painted ladies houses to shoot some photos!

For my afternoon outfit I paired  bebe White heartbreaker denim  with a simple black choker, and heels that I could also rock to dinner! 

Just a few hours after we had an amazing welcome dinner at THE DORIAN where I had the yummiest sea bass dish, and the most perfect Pinot Noir! YUMMY!

Sweater Crop Top found HERE 

Day Two was absolute perfection clear blue skies and warm weather finally!The girls and I explored Sausalito where we had an amazing lunch and walked around the cutest little town over looking the ocean! 

My last night in San Fran I was Sexy in Silk  -  Top found HERE Slitted Silk Slitted Pants

Good Morning Day 3 From the Clift hotel San Fran! Insanely gorgeous view of the city from my room!

Made a pit stop at union square and found the monumental heart that matched my outfit perfectly!

BEBE Cross Strap Bodysuit coordinated perfectly with a simple denim skirt was the ideal brunch number.

If you are ever in the bay area I would HIGHLY suggest making a visit to The Marlowe, which has the most delicioust brunch ever! The Truffle Polenta is highly recommended ;)

Thank you BEBE and Foray for an amazing time in SAN FRAN!

till next time !
