Snow Day

The ongoing winter storm of San Diego came back with a vengeance this past weekend! My bf, puppy and our friends decided to face the storm and head east up to Mt. Laguna Recreation Center. About 1 1/2 of fresh powder fell at the mountain! I haven't seen snow in 3 years (well overdue!) Definitely a nice, brief change from the San Diego. Seriously though everyone deserves a snow day.

Bienvenido a Miami

Spring Break, the vacation that lets you know summer is almost here. I never formally took a Spring Break vacation, I usually went home to visit the family. Friends of mine were going to your typical locations: Miami, Cancun, Cabo San Lucas etc. A did a little research to check out the best spots to vacay for Spring Break. My favorite? Miami.

Fontainebleau Miami Beach
A prime celebrity hot spot; Kanye West, Katy Perry, Miranda Kerr and even President Barack Obama have been seen here. Fontainebleau is a beautiful oceanfront resort with 1,504 rooms, 11 restaurants and lounges, shopping, and Lapis Spa; certainly enough to keep you busy during your stay! And pets are more than welcomed, I love that.

Mondrian South Beach
Another luxorious South Beach hotel that is a must stay! A little smaller than Fontainebleau (357 Rooms); Mondrian South Beach is a quiet setting for those who want to escape the Spring Break craziness. A retro flair interior that makes this hotel not too relaxed, but playful as well! Check it!

A perfect Single & Mingle package for Spring Break is their Be Social Package; which includes two drinks per day and priority access to all their restaurants and bars. Book it.

The Raleigh
LOVE the architecture here, definite Miami Art Deco. The Raleigh may be small, (105 rooms), but it's absolutely glamorous. I really can't get enough of their pool. Something I could consider Miami's hidden little gem.

Stereotypical

Yep. I'm doing a Valentine's Day post. I wasn't going too originally, but Glee's Valentine's Day episode left me warm fuzzy and all that gushy stuff inspiring to post something about love. And you if listen to the song that was played at the end of the episode who wouldn't feel the way?! I definitely want to be in that old couple that still holds hands. It's amazing seeing the emotion of love captured in a snapshot.

Sweet Cupcakes

Lately I've been on a cupcake craze...I think it's because of the recent Grand Opening of Sprinkles in La Jolla. I've been about 3 times now with an average wait time (yes I said wait) of 30-40 mins. At one of our hotels, Surf & Sand Resort, we are offering Luv Cakes, Red Velvet cupcakes, for the Month of Romance. You can either order to have them delivered to your room or place an order for pick-up! At Café Granada in Rancho Bernardo Inn has new menu with 3 different cupcakes available for an afternoon pick-me-up! At each hotel these cupcakes are made by our Pastry Chefs! YUMMY. We can't forget the other cupcakes boutiques in SD! Another personal fav of mine is Heavenly Cupcakes on 6th. When I interned at JPR, anyone's bday would have dozen just from here! A friend of mine also told me to check out Babycakes in Hillcrest. I heard that place was delicious as well. On side note Yoshi, my Corgi, ate his first cupcake yesterday!

Black and White

While today has been pretty awesome (my bf in town from LA). It seems that it's a black & white post kinda of day. Sometimes pictures are just better in B&W you know?

Hollywood Glam

A couple of days ago I saw the AMAZING front cover of Vanity Fair with the Oscar nominees and without a doubt it reminded of Old Hollywood Glam. There is just something about curls and appropriate red lipstick that is timeless! The Oscars are at the end of the month and I'm looking forward to seeing the dresses that walk down that red carpet! I'm hoping to see pure elegance & glitz! I just love the VF Cover and vintage Hollywood.
