Five Things

{Passports ready for packing}

This week has been insanely busy since I’ve been scrambling to get everything taken care of before we leave on Monday for a much-needed vacation. We’re headed to Costa Rica and I can’t wait to alternate between the pool and beach, eat great food and explore the country. And so that I can fully relax while I’m away, I have all my posts lined up for next week. Now I just have to pack up my suitcase with lots of light layers, bug spray and a little extra room to bring back Costa Rican coffee.

{I’m loving the jacaranda-lined streets in L.A.}

Costa Rica sounds amazing! I really hope that isn’t your real address they have on that stationary because I would be so upset that they put that out for everyone to see! Also, love your blog but I wish your pictures were bigger sometimes I want to see more!

I am loving the idea of using scarves to keep hair tied, looks much more nicer. And, mhmm Costa Rica, it sounds like a paradise. Have a safe trip and enjoy your vacation to the max!

Everything in this post is amazing! I’m so jealous of your Costa Rican holiday! And that Rebecca Minkoff bag is perfect! Just enough edge with that beautiful pastel colour! And Jackaranda trees are my favourite!
Have a wonderful holiday!

I love the Rebecca Minkoff cross body bag, It has enough edge but yet still so sweet. It’s a great addition and an awesome lightweight bag in general.
