Kaki West Fashion shoot with Celebrity Photographer John Russo

In August I had the model equivalent of playing in the "Superbowl"! I was lucky enough to shoot with famed photographer John Russo click here to see his work. John is great friends with my extraordinary publicist and the pieces fell into place for our shoot. John is humble, talented & kind. I remember the entire time thinking in my head just breathe. But my nerves were soon put to rest. As the shoot was filled with such ease and warmth. The high fashion photos have been published in several International magazines. It was a magical day, as we said on set it was "Everything"!

Cupid's Vacation

February is the international month of love! For me it's two holidays, Valentines day & my anniversary. In honor of Cupid's love month, I am sharing with you my romance travel guide. Though posting it in April, I am a bit late!
My husband & I wanted our first anniversary to be very special. Our honeymoon in the Maldives was heaven, but the travel was hell. We searched from Antigua, Bermuda to Playa del Carmen. I looked to my trusted site, Tripadvisor where I discovered glowing reviews on St Regis Punta Mita Resort. We booked 6 days away from freezing NYC & headed to paradise.
The hotel rolled out the red carpet treatment for us the entire time. From our outgoing butler Luiz, to Xavier at the pool who had a smile and margaritas ready at all times. We had a private anniversary dinner set up on the beach, which was spectacular. We laid by the pool, walked on the beach, paddle boarded, went to the spa & took a mojito making class. The service at this hotel was amazing, the atmosphere was quiet and laid back. In a 5 star resort there were no attitudes or loud obnoxious guests or lack of privacy. Our suite was enormous with a balcony & sexy outdoor shower. If you are looking for a resort to unwind, fall in love again, be pampered & feel relaxed in flip-flops, this is it.

Below I posted personal photos from our vacation, enjoy!

"A vacation is like love - anticipated with pleasure, experienced with discomfort, and remembered with nostalgia."

Love,
