New Vacation Plans!

post from From Marriage to Motherhood on 02 August 2011 08:10:16 PM. © From Marriage to Motherhood

Back in April, I posted about a trip that we were planning to Spain. We've decided to scratch those plans. The more I inserted myself into furthur research, the less enthusiastic I became about going there. I'm sure it's a beautiful country filled with amazing culture and beauty but I felt that my research was being continued in an effort to pursuade and convince myself that Spain would be "the" place for us to go to.

My husband knows that my heart yearns for all things related to Italy and suggested that we instead plan a wonderful trip to the southern parts, but I think that Ilah is still too small for us to be away from her for 2+ weeks. Perhaps next year.

More than anything, we need to just exhale. We were thinking of getting away to St. Simon, a small island that's about a 5 1/2 hour drive from Atlanta, and staying for 3 nights. And then....we saw an amazing deal last week on Living Social to Playa de Carmen, Mexico...

It was an AMAZING deal!!!! 8 days/7 nights at The Grand Mayan 5 star luxury resort. We couldn't believe the price. And then when we checked out the hotel....WOW!!....it beckoned us! So we booked it!!! We paid to upgrade to a Suite during our stay {that has a plunge pool on the balcony!}. To say that we are excited to go is an understatement!I've been to Mexico a few times while living in California but never ventured as far as the Mayan Riviera. Playa de Carmen is a city on the coast of the Caribbean Sea in the north east area of the Mexican state, about 45-60 minutes from Cancun....

We have two sets of married friends who have been to Playa del Carmen and LOVED it!!
Here are some photos of the resort where we will be staying....

The hut on the right is a swim up bar. The pools have a few....

I cannot wait to sit in one of those seats and not worry about making dinner, cleaning up the house, or going to the grocery store! Ha! I can't wait to be by the ocean and walk along the water holding my honey's hand!

Here are some photos of the 1 bedroom suite we booked....

The plunge pool!....

This resort boasts many fine dining restaurants {offering Asian, American, Mexican, Italian and Carribean cuisines} within its plush grounds. In the evenings, within one of their restaurants, your tropical dining experience is complete with live Cuban music and a dance floor. Fun entertainment is also had in another restaurant in which nightly shows are performed.

The resort also has a spa...

And a gym...

And an amazing golf course...

So for the same cost of staying within Georgia and driving close to 6 hours to a beachy island for a vacation {probably paying close to $200 a night - if not more - for 3 nights}, we will instead be staying a 5 star luxury resort for 8 days/7 nights!! What a deal!! Non-stop fares on Delta are at $247 right now...what an amazing, and pretty inexpensive vacation, we are about to be on!! The hub's said if we see another stellar deal like this to another amazing place, we will be snatching that one up too : ) You better believe I'll be on the look out for newly posted deals!

We posted their trailer in the fall after their stunning October wedding, and now that their full-length film is done we have another treat to share!

This short, highly romantic piece was featured as a stylized ending to their fun and flirty film. It captures all the love and passion of this fantastic couple, and was a perfect capstone to their full-length edit.

Tuesday Shoesday | Alexander McQueen Leaf Resin
Wedges

post from Merci New York on 02 August 2011 04:11:15 PM. © Merci New York

These sculpted resin and leather sandals from Alexander McQueen are truly a perfect fit for the fashionista bride. Or, more aptly, the fashionista bride with $3,500 shoe budget.
Apparently, these and McQueen's resin leaf peep-toe pumps {$1,675} are the more 'marketable' version of the above Spring 2011 runway styles. Gorgeous, aren't they not?
Beautiful? Yes. Accessible? Not so much. That Sarah Burton certainly knows her stuff... However, I suppose my viewing of McQueen gorgeousness will be limited to ogling the Met exhibit...

Rouge G de Guerlain Jewel Lipstick Compact - A
Bride's Best Friend!

Rouge G de Guerlain Jewel Lipstick CompactOK , I must confess....I love makeup in pretty packaging! But as a professional makeup artist I know that pretty packaging doesn't always represent a quality product. Most of my kit is filled with professional brand makeup that comes in packages that aren't shiny and pretty! But they work consistently well and that's why I use them.

But I must say, in this case, the 'pretty' packaging for the Rouge G de Guerlain Jewel lipstick compact is evenly balanced to the quality of the product itself. Rouge G de Guerlain Jewel Lipstick Compact is a great product and perfect for those brides with refined taste. The compact itself is Persian inspired - it's very beautitful to look at and you feel a little special when you take it out of your purse to apply it onto your lips! (just sayin'....we all like to feel special sometimes!)

The case opens to reveal a handy little mirror and a tiny compartment for the lipstick to sit in. This lipstick comes in tons of gorgeous shades and is perfect for your wedding day because it seriously lasts for hours! I used this product on a client recently and it had very good staying power...especially considering it's so creamy and moisturizing.

Pricewise - well...it's on the high end for sure being just shy of $50.00. A quality product at a high price but in my opinion, worth the money!
Approximately 2 hours after Rouge G de Guerlain Jewel lipstick was applied and still looking fresh!Here's a bit about the product:

What it does:

"Guerlain Rouge G de Guerlain Jewel Lipstick Compact contains a ruby-powder formula that interacts with the light and creates a jaw-dropping pout of perfection. At first glaze, lips will be left defined, smoothed, plumped, and hydrated."

What else you need to know:

"Tucked in a compact that marries beauty with high design, with one click, you will have a luminous lipstick and mirror at your fingertips. Designed by Lorenz Bäumer, the most talented jeweler from the Place Vendôme in Paris, it is the ultimate accessory of mystery and seduction."
