Speaking of travels…
Hi everyone, I just got back from the Caribbean. I'll admit, I'm suffering from the post-vacation blues, but ready to face the new year head on! Here are a few of my favorite moments from my trip. I hope everyone had a great holiday!

My brothers agree on a lot, except style choices. Johnny prefers boat shoes and Christian sticks to baseball caps and Havaianas.
I loved the art work on this building in downtown Mayaguez, Puerto Rico.

Ready, Set, Jetsetter!
If you follow the blog, you know what a huge and loyal Gilt Groupe fan I am. Thanks to the luxury sample sale site, I've added a Geren Ford pencil skirt, an Allegra Hicks caftan and Alexander McQueen for Samsonite luggage to my closet this year (none of which I'd have been able to afford without Gilt).
Now, I'll finally get to put my McQueen carry-on to use, as the geniuses behind Gilt bring us Jetsetter, a sample sale-type site dedicated to travel. With exclusive deals on hotels (Venice! NYC! Vegas!), spas, resorts, bed and breakfasts, luxury cruises and more, Jetsetter offers its members exclusive access to the most quality stays in the world. And, like its Gilt-y counterpart, all boutiques are hand-selected, so we are privy to the latest and greatest travel destinations as well as the little-known gems.
Like Gilt Groupe, Jetsetter is invitation-only. To receive an invitation, leave your name and e-mail address in our comments section and I'll send one your way.
Happy travels!

Destination: Riviera Maya
Hello! I'm back from what seemed like a split second in paradise. The Riviera Maya was unbelievably gorgeous, the peso was cheap, and the weather was lovely. We visited Cancun, Playa Del Carmen, and Isla Mujeres. Playa has always been my favorite, but this time, Isla Mujeres took the cake. Here are some of my favorite moments captured through my camera. Enjoy!
