#FBF: Cahuita, Costa Rica. 2010
As I’ve been focusing on my trips to Sayulita this week, I thought I’d stay in Latin America for #flashbackfriday… Cahuita, Limon, Costa Rica!

Whenever I go to Sayulita, I always make sure to leave extra room in my luggage for the goods I get while there.
On New Years day, when I got the opportunity to go to Islas Marietas with a group from Mexico City, I jumped at the opportunity. New experiences? New people? This is what traveling is all about.
In a laid back town like Sayulita, surfer-chic rules and eclectic is key. Some of my favorite pieces, from jewelry to art to clothing I’ve found in Sayulita and I’m constantly inspired by the laid back beach style of the people there. Shoes and shirts are optional and natural jewelry compliments beautiful tattoos. There’s a certain natural effortlessness that if you stick around long enough, you start to adopt as well.
“What is this? Is that a face on your stomach?”
“I told you… this is my Pharrell swimsuit, it has a great butt… you’ll like it.” I mumbled as I self-consciously slapped his hands away as he tried to see what was going on under my crocheted Topshop mini dress.
This post is a small reprieve from the flood of stories of the tragedies in Paris. I am lucky to have been to Paris a few times, but my trip to Paris in April 2009 is when I really fell in love with the city; I got why my favorite American authors flocked here in the 20s.
April in Paris. There’s a reason why there’s a song and movie of that name. It is an absolutely magical time.
Funny thing is, I didn’t sleep before I boarded my flight and packed / deliriously edited this video straight through the AM. So, this time on my trip, I forgot: my mascara, sunglasses, sports bra for hiking, socks, iPad charger and most importantly left my camera battery plugged into the wall. However, in that typically Sayulita way, everything actually worked out!
Sayulita, Mexico. 2015 Just back in New York City and the weather is in the 20s. Uploading photos from my recent trip to Sayulita is definitely warming up my spirit. Here’s a sneak peak of more to come. This photo is from the pool terrace of hotel Las Graditas — a gorgeous view of Sayulita downtown.
