Throwback to Mexico!
Travel

Oh mannnnnn. Flash backwards: exactly one year ago I was eating ceviche, visiting Maya temples and chilling on the stunning white sand beaches of Mexico! This week has been pretty painful, as Facebook keeps reminding me of our dream holiday by sharing daily memories and photos. THANKS, Zuckerberg. But no, to be honest, it is…

Our Airbnb house in Merida, Mexico
Travel

During our two-week Mexico trip (read more here!) we stayed at some pretty beautiful places, but the most impressive one was definitely the AirBnb house we booked in Merida, the biggest city of Yucatan. It looked pretty promising on the photos, but we never would have expected it to be 10 times better in real…

That VILA maxi dress of my dreams

Another little throwback to Mexico (to Isla Holbox to be specific), where I wore the printed maxi dress of my dreams! That happens to be from my #poliennexvila campaign collection. SUCH COINCIDENCE! I wore this relaxed look on one of our last days on the island, when the weather was overcast and it was finally a…

Isla Holbox: what to do & where to eat
Travel

Time for another round of lusting over how stunning Mexico is. When visiting the peninsula Yucatan, you can’t miss out on visiting one of the beautiful islands around! Instead of heading to the popular Isla Mujeres or Isla Cozumel, we opted for Isla Holbox. Why? Its honeymoon-ish views, less touristy (or crowded) reputation and the…

We booked a fantastic apartment trough Airbnb, called Buena Onda. Buena Onda is a private place with 4 beautiful, modern apartments in different sizes and a garden with pool.

5 things to do in Merida
Travel

Oh, Merida. It took us a moment to get used to this city, but in the end we absolutely LOVED it. Merida is the biggest and probably most colourful city in Yucatan, Mexico, and although everything seems super close by on the map, most places are quite a far walk. And as soon as you walk…

Our stay in Cancun
Travel

For our first night in Mexico, we opted for something we’d normally never do: a luxurious resort. But we figured that after a 15 hour journey, it would be extremely relieving to have someone pick us up at the airport and drive us to a place where we wouldn’t have to think about anything. If…

Wow, you really seemed to like my first Mexico post! I guess that lurking at sun-drenched holiday pics is a better way of spending your time than looking outside at the rain, right? Now that you know a little bit more about the organization of our voyage, I’d like to take a deeper look on our daily…

A simple beach look

That horrible cold and rain outside makes me pretty nostalgic to my warm, bare feet beach walks in Mexico… Here’s probably one of my easiest holiday looks ever, but keeping things simple is key when you’re relaxing, right? I wore this oversized shirt to a day trip to Celestún, a small fishing village next to…

Our Mexico trip, summarized
Travel

Where do I start? The crystal clear sea water, the fish tacos on the street or the Maya ruins? The wild flamingos maybe? Or the bright-coloured houses with mural paintings? How about the cave cenotes and the fishing trips? The golf cart taxis? Maybe the beach bars with white swings or the dolphins we spotted from…

#Hanging at Coco Tulum

Or the ultimate Pinterest-worthy hipster spot at Tulum playa. We spent an afternoon lounging in Coco‘s swings, sipping from delicious cocktails and fighting the huge waves of the Caribbean ocean. This place is a real recommendation! I’ll share more hotspots with you once I’m back home from this lovely trip 🙂 In the meantime, follow my…

A beach wishlist for Mexico!

You guys! On Sunday I’m finally leaving for Mexico! Ever since we impulsively booked our flights back in October, I’ve been extremely impatient to finally head to the sun. And to finally get that sun wardrobe started again… I did a pretty good job containing myself during sales and waited for the new Summer collections to…

Counting down to Mexico: 30 days!
Travel

In my throwback to 2016 you could read that I booked a holiday to another continent for the first time of my life. “But Pielaun, you’re quite the traveler, no?”, you might think? Yep, in my former modeling days I had to opportunity to travel a lot, so I have visited some countries in Asia and have…
