hotel havana

I am loving the Hotel Havana - located along The Riverwalk in San Antonio. It was designed by Liz Lambert - the same genius behind the Hotel San Jose

and Hotel Saint Cecilia in Austin.

Looks like the perfect spot to beat that Texas heat.

See more images on their website.

And book a room!

For me. :)

English Rose

I love these behind the scenes shots from the new Burberry Cosmetics

campaign shot by Mario Testino.

The line just debuted and is inspired by the iconic Burberry

trench and the stormy English weather.

I love Jenna & Jon's circus themed wedding in Brooklyn.
