The Towers at Pacifica Cabo Recap Post

Happy Friday everyone, today I’m finally sharing a recap from my recent trip to Cabo at the Towers at Pacifica at Pueblo Bonito Pacifica Golf & Spa Resort. Scroll through this post for the day to day to details of my stay as well photos and product information on all of my resort wear outfits.

Day 1: Upon our arrival to Cabo, the Pueblo Bonito arranged transportation for us from the airport to the resort. We were immediately greeted with welcome cocktails and a brief tour of the resort before enjoying fish tacos, fries and nachos by the pool for lunch. Once our room was ready, our butler showed us to our beautiful suite complete with a 24-hour butler service, mini dip pool and a fully stocked beverage fridge!

The Towers at Pacifica Resort has the most amazing cabanas with cushions and curtains for shade and privacy that guests can reserve for beach days or special meals.

Day 2: The next morning we woke up to a beautiful breakfast on the beach and in case I didn’t mention, the Towers at Pacifica is an all-inclusive resort so you have the luxury of enjoying all of your meals and beverages without your wallet minus a few select premium items. After breakfast, we got to enjoy the pool and beach for the rest of the day before dining at the Peninsula for dinner.

My favorite restaurant at the The Towers at Pacifica is Pescados where we ate the most delicious Asian cuisine and fresh sushi. I highly recommend the Pacifica Roll and the Pad Thai!

Day 4: On our last day, we decided to visit some of the other Pueblo Bonito resorts in Cabo. We visited Rosé to see the beautiful pink hotel rooms and pool area complete with black swans and a stunning view of the beach. We also visited to Sunset Resort for a fancy steak dinner at their outdoor restaurant, Quivira that overlooks the water.

Where to Find Top Bridal Looks for Less!

Hey everyone, as most of you know, I just got married this past March and I actually had two ceremonies, which meant double the amount of white dresses. Once all of the wedding festivities were over, I found myself wondering what to do with all of my white gowns and bridal accessories that I’ll never get the chance to wear again. In fact, I didn’t even get around to wearing a couple of them. I had so many of my newly-engaged blog readers and Instagram followers ask me if I’d be willing to sell any of my gently used white dresses since they were in the market for some new ones for parties and showers. Fortunately, I was able to help a few of them out, but I was still left with all the high end pieces that needed new homes, but very specific owners. Also, I wanted to sell them in safe environment for both the buyer and the seller so that we’re both protected. So I realized the best place to sell them is on eBay where plenty of other brides have listed their gowns and accessories and buyers can search their exact sizes and specific brands or styles. It’s the perfect places for newly married women to list their gently worn bridal gowns and accessories that they’ll never wear again, which means it’s also the perfect place for newly engaged gals to search for white dresses by top name brands like BHLDN and Adrianna Papell at amazing prices.

Speaking of Adrianna Papell, I love this White Beaded Gown for a rehearsal dinner or fancy engagement party. Also, I’ll be listing a couple of my BHLDN gowns on eBay for you brides-to-be like the one I styled in today’s blog post. It’s perfect for the boho bride to wear to a shower, rehearsal dinner or even welcome party.

It’s always safe to start with eBay because they guarantee price match, delivery or your money back, which is so important when it comes to purchasing top quality items that you might be wearing on one of the most important days of your life.

Additionally, tons of ladies list their “only worn once” bridesmaids dresses on eBay too so I highly suggest checking eBay first when it comes to bridesmaids dress shopping especially if you get to choose your own gown. They have tons of beautiful options in a variety of sizes and prices to fit everyone‘s needs.

We’ve been working hard on the collection since Fall 2017 and I’m so happy to finally to share it with you along with a special promo code for 20% OFF your purchase.

They’re perfect for holding your engagement ring on your nightstand or in a safe while traveling. I had a couple of adorable ring boxes while I was engaged, but none of them would stay closed in my bag while I was traveling except for a small leather ring box like the one I designed with GiGi New York. I always like to have a box to protect my ring while I’m not wearing it like during water excursions or even while showering.

The Floral Applique Clutches: My wedding coordinator and designer helped me plan a whimsical, garden-glam themed wedding for my New Orleans ceremony. So I decided to design some beautiful, yet simple floral appliqué clutches with GiGi New York as gifts for my bridesmaids. I went with ivory so that the bags would complement all wedding color schemes for future brides. We also added metallics to appliqué to maintain the glam theme of my wedding. Plus I think a pop of metallic makes any bag look a little fancier.

These personalized wedding hashtag journals also make great engagement gifts too because you can add their special wedding wedding hashtag to the cover and then bam! It’s the perfect wedding planning book for the bride.

I went with simple white gold tassel clutches for my Cabo wedding to complement all of the different colored dresses. Also, I didn’t want the floral clutches to clash with my floral bridesmaids dresses. We added oversized tassels and gold chain crossbody straps to the metallic clutches for convenience since it was a destination wedding and I gifted them to bridesmaids to use for the whole wedding weekend.
