Back from the Dominican Republic! This is exactly what I envisioned when I booked my stay at the only luxury hotel in Puerto Plata, Casa Colonial! It was heaven!
My wonderful sister-in-law, Nargis, accompanied me on the trip, and being the creative lil darling that she is, she woke up at sunrise and captured this magnificent image. She's the best! My first 3 months of pregnancy were hellish and this was-well deserved :-))....peace, quiet and a breathtaking environment!
The day before she woke up at the break of dawn (530am!) to get this picture! she's such a do-er, i love it! Amazing image!
Haven't had a massage in over 10 years. I always thought it was a bit frivolous but I felt the experience wouldn't have been complete without one and I was sooo right! Ocean-front view massage on a suspended station surrounded by water in the lushest environment I've seen, brilliant!
The back entrance of the hotel...
At night...sigh..
4.5 months preggers and counting...
Poolside view..
I kept wondering what to do with my new cut in this midst of such humid weather...well Nargis came up with this easy do'! A lil curling iron action and off to dinner we go :-)
I think in this pic I'm raving about the most amazing pair of louboutins I own! What makes them so chic?? they are actually comfortable! lol
Showing off the belly bump in this thrifted, easy wrap dress, which Nargis loaned me because the clothing I had brought along didn't fit anymore!!! lol..yes, i ate tons of food, I can't help it, Dominican food is just incredibly tasty!
I had such a great stay at Casa Colonial! I couldn't handle a noisy, activity-filled resort and this was such a genius alternate. It's wonderful lil' gem..beds were dressed in luxurious Frette sheets...ahhh... alluring bossa nova music lightly playing wherever I went..oooh, and no one asking me to join them for poolside kareoke at noon!
And like my credit cards, I never leave home without my lil' guy Jacob! He had a total blast with mommy!
As usual, I missed Maury like crazy! She's in South Beach as we speak and I can't wait to see her sizzling pics!!
Hope you all enjoyed the post!
xoxo!
Gisela & Maury
