YOUR ULTIMATE GUIDE TO CANCUN MEXICO

Cancun is definitely Mexico’s showcase resort. Built in an area that was named by Mayan people, long ago, for the large number of snakes in the area, Cancun has been carefully groomed into one of the most polished resorts anywhere. Long gone are the snakes and most of the mosquitoes that might have enjoyed the numerous lagoons. Few resorts in the world have the infrastructure and amenities that were built into Cancun from the beginning. Everything just seems to flow together effortlessly in Cancun.

HOTEL GUIDE | SECRETS THE VINE CANCUN

Though we’ve been to Cancun many times, somehow every visit is unique and Cancun never fails to impress us in a new and amazing way.

We stayed at the 5 star, AAA, Four Diamond Secrets The Vine Cancun, bordered by the cerulean waters of the Caribbean and white sand beaches in stunning Cancun, one of the most beautiful hotels on Earth! A huge claim, I know. But the Secrets is truly breath-taking. This marks our 4th time staying at the hotel.

FOREVER UNIQUE

I don’t think it’s a secret that Cancun happens to be one of my favourite vacation places with my recent 6th trip over there. From the nicest people, the prettiest blue water I have ever seen and the most amazing food I have ever tasted, I could not be happier to be there.

THE BEST BAGS FOR HOLIDAY SEASON

  “I don’t do fashion, I am fashion.” Coco Chanel When it comes to straw bags, I’m very picky.  I love the idea of it, but it still needs to have city elements in it like a dash of practicality.  That’s why I like sizeable silhouettes (ideally with a shoulder strap option) more than small bags. Mini straw bags look…

HOW TO DETERMINE AND MATCH YOUR SKIN UNDERTONE WITH PASTEL COLOURS

“Simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance.” Coco Chanel

Pastels, yet again, are going to be a big trend this season, delicious ice-cream trend that we keep rolling forward from one season to another. Pastels and summers go hand in hand, and pretty much everyone loves trying light soothing colour tones, even a creature of habits like me.

Keep reading to find out what pastels complement you skin undertone and how to test it in a few easy ways.

GIRL-BOSS LOOK | TUX DRESS OR JUMPSUIT

“Elegance is refusal.” Coco Chanel After two decades in the darkness, the power suit is back. Dependable and timeless. The suits are very often worn to make a statement, to emanate an image of power and credibility in the workplace. As much as I adore suits I’m not a huge fan of trousers in general, I just personally don’t find…
