You guys have already seen my love of spring florals — and let me tell you, it’s not going away anytime soon.  Once I got into these bold, bright patterns, the next step was obvious: mixing them.

I’m excited to be home for a while after a crazy April!  I loved getting away for a little bit — it’s amazing how recharged you feel when you get back!  I’m looking forward to a really productive summer this year, and it’s nice to face it with some energy and motivation!

Major photo post warning! I usually try to limit my photos to 4 or 5 for any given post, but this trip required me to bend those rules a little bit! I’m still daydreaming about crashing waves and sunset cocktails… and planning when we can go back.

Printed bikini is Eberjey; Solid bikini is from Everything But Water in Houston. We stayed at the One and Only Palmilla.

If you guys follow me on Instagram, you’ve probably seen some of my amazing photos from our beach vacation!  I’m still sorting through the hundreds of photos I took with my real (non-phone) camera, so I’ll probably post those later in the week! 

It was such an amazing trip — after a crazy stressful year of buying our house, jobs, cars, learning the ropes of life in Houston (side note: I’m in Houston Magazine this month!  Go pick it up and see me!) and everything else, we’ve been in desperate need of a vacation.  A real do-nothing, lay-on-the-beach, chill-24-7 vacation.

And that’s what we got!  We went to Cabo and just loved it.  The beaches were beautiful, the food was amazing, the weather, the travel — everything was just perfect. 

But the highlight of the whole trip, hands down, was that the hotel, after I tweeted to them, found my blog and decided to create a special surprise!  When we came home to our room one night, we found a cake made in the shape of my iPhone case, which is a Sugarlaws sketch!  I couldn’t believe my eyes — I actually teared up a little.  I couldn’t believe they’d do such a sweet, lovely thing!  It was such an incredible trip and you’ll be seeing more of my photos soon, but for now:

A picture of the cake.

And because I know the obvious question is “Where did you stay?”, I’ll tell you.  We stayed at the One and Only Palmilla, which was mind-bogglingly beautiful and I will go back in a heartbeat.  I’m already counting down the days!
