Cuban Getaway


When I find myself getting so caught up in my hum-drum life in O.C. I day dream of tropical places that I have never been to before. Florida is the most "Tropical" place I've been. It is also one of the most boring places I've been. I remember when I went to Key west it was one of the best trips to Florida Ive ever been on. That is when I went to the Southern most part of America and saw...CUBA.
From that day forth I have wanted to catch a closer look , well more like i want to be there!


If the colors look intense I wonder if the people are just intense as well. I could fit right in with them. I would wear only bright clothing and white linen pants. Espadrilles would come in handy too.




The smell of cigars is one I favor most of all the smoke smells. It is a deep earthy sweet concoction, and you don't inhale it.
Homes in colors of the rainbow, not all the same in a drab dull beige.
I could make friends with the Havana Brown cat. He is just like my cat back home.
Wearing no makeup just the glow from the sun and the dewiness from the heat.






I could be the token white girl in a country full of mysterious men, but I already have my own mysterious Argentinian/American. All I would really want to do is dance dance dance and more dancing.




And it would pay off when I win a competition!


And then spend hours at the beach with that guy, maybe. Haha no I would be lounging in a hammock or drinking iced tea under a palm tree.

Jennifer Morris Beads


Jennifer Morris is the creator of Jennifer Morris Beads, she is an artist who makes free hand pieces of jewelry and accessories from polymer clay. One of her biggest inspirations for her work is Mexico. Which is how I found her shop on etsy. I too love Mexican colors and design and found her jewelry as a wonderful representation of that. Her pieces are delicate with small intricate details and vivid hues and bold color make them unique. Stop by her etsy shop, the link is at the bottom of this post.

Tom & Katie Go to Brazil

Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise are Down in Brazil having a lovely Vacation while promoting Valkyrie. I really like the carefree style of Katie Holmes on their trip and was inspired. Here is a version of one of her warm weather outfits. What do you think of her style? Fun or too Funky?

The Buenos Aires Broken Hearts Club

   This book is wonderful I read it and took my sweet time so I could savor all of it. There is everything you could want and more in this short novel. It brings you through a woman's struggle to find her identity while starting over in another country.

It has inspired me to learn more about Argentina and South America.
Who knows maybe one day I will go there too.
