Summertime. What does the word “summer” make you think of? For me, it’s heat. Heat and humidity. It also makes me think of sun-kissed skin, beautiful sunsets later in the evening, and sandy beaches. Last year we went to Greece and this year we went to Tulum so those two locations are heavily influencing my vision of what summer looks like. Check out our three summer mood boards below. I made one general mood board, one Tulum mood board and our team member Lara made one mood board as well. We hope you love it and get that summertime feeling.

Relaxation. Purity. Natural materials. Connection with nature. These are the things I envisioned while making the neutral Summer mood board above. I love the textural white plaster walls. I love the heavy shadows that a sunset casts on everything. I love a good book. Books literally feed the soul and help us grow as human beings. Relaxing by the water with a book is the epitome of a luxurious relaxing vacation to me. Thick thatched roofs and thatched beach umbrellas is a textural vibe I’m loving. Linen drapery blowing in the ocean breeze with the smell of salt in the air is such a vibe too. Everything in my neutral Summer mood board is about ease, relaxation and connection with nature. Do you dig it?

Tulum, Mexico. Have you been? Do you plan to go? It was a MUST see on my bucket list and I’m so glad we were able to go. Not only is it a place with an abundance of natural food, the architecture and interior design is phenomenal. There are a few different styles in Tulum but I was drawn to Hotel Panamera because they seamlessly blended texture, color and nature together in a way that felt balanced and invigorating. The views were amazing, the subtle green color fed my heart, and simplicity made me feel at ease. The pool is over-the-top with tons of color and pattern and I love it! Everything from the tiles to the lounge chairs is vibrant and fun. But that is balanced with the entire rest of the property being laid back and chill. I love that there are different areas depending on what mood you’re in. Wanna relax? They have a space for that. Wanna socialize? There’s a space for that. That is good programming. I love Hotel Panamera, this is not sponsored, but if you’re going to Tulum, I highly recommend you stay there. (They have AC, the staff is super nice, the food is SUPERB, etc etc etc.) Enjoy!
