Knotted Peasant Top + High Waisted Crop Flares + Birkenstock Gizehs

I had all these great intentions of blogging on our Mexico pics while we were on Christmas Break, but then reality and a never ending cold (I was seriously sick for the entire 2 1/2 weeks!!) kicked my ass, and…well.

I blogged nothing.

So, I’m catching up now, and hope to eventually also catch up on the pics I took from our LAST vacation to Los Cabos back during Spring Break 2018. Maybe for this next Spring Break?? Haha.

All in all, I’d love to do a write up of both places we stayed and what we did…eventually.

Until then.

A fairly simple comfy outfit. High wasited crops are my go to right now. So easy and comfy. These had a built in hem that was too short for my legs, so I let it out, and I LOVE THEM! Funny enough, the brand has an almost identical pair to these with the hems let out. Great minds and all…

And, while I like to tuck things into high waisted pants, it’s so much easier and more flattering to tie tops right at the waist!

No lumps! No fussing with retucking when you go potty-haha, yes, I went there!

Yay!

Top- Current Elliott (eBay)

Jeans- McGuire “Bessette Culottes” Mine came with a shorter hem, but I let them. (eBay)

Sandals- Birkenstock “Gizeh” (thrifted, like new for $25!!)

Keeping it Real…

I know I post these a lot, but I was a little cranky that I lost this amazing sun flare by the time I

actually got into the frame… 😦 . Imagine me IN with all this light goodness, ok?

See that woman in the distance? Yep, of course she came RIGHT up the walkway…again…don’t

mind me!

Horseback Riding at Solaz Los Cabos

2 Replies

I have to be honest. I did this excursion as a gift to Maya.

She looooooves horses. As, I did at her age and beyond!!

Every trip we went on as a kid, I requested horseback riding as my pick for something to do!

She’s definitely following in my footsteps.

But…we’d seen the horses walk along the beach while we’d played in the pool, and in my mind I

thought “ho hum…”…yawn.

For the price… I thought that I would walk alongside her as she rode, but changed my mind last

minute to buy a spot for myself, and…

It was probably the highlight of the trip for both of us!

I talked the Huz into coming down to take a few pictures of us as we left.

I honestly was a liiiiiittle worried that they just let Maya be on her horse by herself.

She wasn’t worried at all, and quickly caught up to us!

Oh, and doing it at sunset was the BEST idea!!

A), yes, I was thinking about the light…I can’t stop myself.

But also, we had other things planned during the day, so win win.

B) It’s HOT! No way could I have done this for an hour in the blazing heat…nor wanted to.

Much less PAID to do it, but maybe that’s just me!

For others, if you do it during the day…sunscreen up!!

The rest of the images are from my iphone.

The sunset was amazing!!

And at the halfway mark our guide asked if we wanted to stop and take pictures with my phone…

Um….

COULD I HAVE LOVED HIM MORE??!!

He actually took a few from a different angle and then said…I think this is better.

AGAIN….are you kidding me??

LOVE YOU! Because…it was!

I can’t….love this!

On the way back…

We went out for 30 minutes, the stopped. He took some pictures of us (above and some not

shown), and then we headed back.

On the way back we got more adventurous with the trotting…which we did a lot of. Even

galloped a bit. I’m not going to lie. I was a little worried about Maya, but she took it all in stride

(no pun intended!) . This is absolutely one of those trips that I would have paid to get a video

taken! I took a few videos with my phone as I felt comfortable, but watching Maya and dealing

with my own horse took precedence.

She ROCKED IT! Every time we trotted and even galloped, she was amazing! And SO HAPPY!

We made it back to our starting point in half the time it took us to meander out!

Our guide said…”We still have time, we can keep going?”

This face says it all!

The next one is one of my FAVORITE images of her!!!

Windswept. SO happy, yet being tolerant of me snapping a shot.

SO HER.

And at the end… our guide asked.

“Want me to take some pics with the sunset?”

I may have said…

“YES!! I LOVE YOU!!!!”

I’d thought it before, but may have let it slip out at this point haha.

Clearly….Maya felt the same way. 🙂

Thank you to Amigos!!

And this sunset??

Jumpsuits for resort vacations…

I’d be lying if I said I didn’t wish we were still in Mexico…
😭🌴🌝
Reality is SO overrated! And it’s currently raining SIDEWAYS in Seattle, so really overrated…
😂🙈
BUT…celebrating Christmas with our parents was what it was all about! Next year…if we can just get them to come to Mexico with us!
😁❤️
I know I should be posting cozy winter outfits, but…nope. I’m going to post pics we took on our vacation for a little bit longer.
😁
For me, rompers and jumpsuits are a no brainer when packing. An easy all in one outfit! I added a vintage thrifter belt and thrifted sunglasses, because I’m too paranoid to lose my prescription ones!! I always load up on cute thrifted sunglasses before any vacation and summer! Saltwater sandals are hands down the best to bring on a beach vacation! Waterproof and cute too! I can’t even… The only bad thing about taking this vacation at the end of my ridiculously crazy season at work, was that I really didn’t want to pick up my camera as much. It sat untouched for the first 4 days… I was happy to not pick it up, but then knew I’d regret not taking pics!

The other bad thing about the timing of our vacation was that the sun set at around 5:00. We were barely back from playing by 4, and to turn around and go back out to catch the sunset…it didn’t happen.

I kept telling myself I’d get up and take some sunrise pictures, because that was around 6:45 and they were AMAZING!!! But alas…nope, that didn’t happen either.

SO…one shoot on the beach at midday was all I got.

Not the most idea lighting, but….LOVE!
And yes, Maya got to ride this horse later!! I’ll post more about that later! Definitely the surprise highlight of the trip for both of us!

Jumpsuit- J Crew (eBay)

Sandals- Saltwater

On Maya…

Jumpsuit- Zimmerman Kids- (eBay, but similar here)

Sandals- Saltwater “Strappy” (thrifted)

Keeping it Real…

I totally messed up and stood a line farther back in the walkway than I originally focused

on…and….an entire series of super cute shots are out of fucus! BOO!

She ALWAYS stands in front of the focus stand! Yet, she doesn’t stand still for a SECOND, so she

cannot BE the focus stand. Which is why I lug it around…

In between moment of the shutter going off. Always cracks me up…

Maya putting our keycard between her feet. Outtake or marketing GENIUS?!!

Tank + High Waisted striped Palozzo Pants + Tied Sandals

5 Replies

On of my fav combos for any weather.

Tight top + wide leg pants.

It can be varied in so many ways! In warmer weather add sandals, in colder weather…booties and a jacket.

On vacation, it’s so easy to pack a bunch of tanks and loose fitting pants!

And…that’s what I did!I hadn’t taken pictures for the first 4 days of our vacation. I was so OVER my camera with my workload leading up to our vacation that I needed a break. But…I knew I’d regret not taking pictures, so I busted out the tripod outside of our room.
