A sensational swimsuit, that you love and adore, is essential for summer! I've had my eye on this bikini since 4 months ago! I saw it in a swim shop in Miami and fell in loooooove with it. The cheeky bottom, the coral crochet, the braided tie, the dangling tassels... 

... it's just adorable. 

I usually pack at least five suits with me on vacations, but this time, I only needed one.... my Luli Fama. You can find their bikini's gracing covers of sports illustrated. 

Tulum is very hot, so a chic bikini and cover up is really all you need. The clear blue water against my coral suit makes the perfect backdrop... like something out of a postcard. 

Ta-taa for now,

While I was in Tulum, I was lucky enough to experience a dip inside the Gran Cenote. A three hour car drive (which ended up being an hour and a half thanks to our speedy taxi driver) through the Yucatan jungle was an experience I won't forget.

Once arriving, everyone must rinse themselves in the shower before entering the Cenotes. It's important to not have anything on your skin such as sunblock. The Mayans considered the Cenotes sacred waters. 

It's hard to tell from the picture, but the distance from the ground to water was around 250 feet. Everyone walked down a winding stone carved path, further and further underground. At first I was a little scared to jump in. Tiny black fish (which were harmless) filled the waters edge and the blue water looked like it went down to infinity. 

I jumped in feeling the fresh water surround me. The water was so pure, with a sweet taste, and crystal clear. The moment was hard to describe other than ethereal. I felt like I was in a fairytale, swimming in magical waters. 

Ta-taa for now,

I've had this outfit tucked away in my closet for a while, waiting for the perfect place to wear it. My skirt mimics the oceans array of beautiful blue shades. The crochet top adds a bohemian twist, along with the crystal necklace. Always boho chic at the beach!!!
