Tequila Sunrise:

Well I've just gotten back from an incredible trip to Mexico and when I say "just" I really mean 2 weeks ago.. soooo maybe it took me a while to get back to reality.  What can I say, it was a beautiful time celebrating a beautiful couple with lots of tequila, sun, good eats, love and laughter.  Dined at an award winning Iron Chef restaurant one night, swam with the tropical fishies and stingrays another day and now I can even add Professional Photographer to my resume (captured the "I Do" kiss pictured above).  Fashion was not forgotten either, especially the beautiful bride Dominique, who looked stunning on her big day.  She wore a classic romantic style sweetheart fit and flare ivory dress with a wrist hook at the back of her train that she swept around gracefully during the first dance and that umbrella we found on the resort rooftop rounded out the tropic vintage feel.   When the sun set down she switched into her party dress that played up on her love for peacocks with a feathery skirt and bedazzled purple bustier, she was an absolute queen.

On that note...

Arriba, Abajo, Al Centro, Pa Dentro.

Thank you for the memories and cheers to many more!

Mediterranean Summer:

In August I went on an eye opening, soul quenching trip to Turkey.  Getting back in touch with my half roots and reconnecting with family had been long called for.  Revisiting after 10 years, that country has stolen another piece of my heart.  From the scenery, the culture, the energy, the jewelry and the sea of stray cats that dominate the streets, I was perpetually enamored. Every glance and turn was like a majestic tugging on the strings of my physical and emotional senses.  Known as a country that runs on the phrase "Survival of the Fittest", Turkish people make the most of their time.  The one defining thing I took away from this trip is, Don't Wait.  If there's something you can do, want to do and should do, you should do it now.  Don't wait for the right moment because that moment may never come.  Maybe it's a European thing, or maybe it's just the right thing. If you can, live your life when you wanna live it and there's no telling what kind of happiness you can experience.
