Sandals La Toc and Jade Mountain

by in on

Hi y’all! It’s Lara here, writing you from a mosquito net-covered bed high in the rain forest mountains. All photos taken with my Panasonic LX3.

There aren’t actually any mosquitoes at this height, but it makes the bed look pretty and it’s a bit of peace of mind in a room that only has three walls. This is what I’m looking at right now…

I’m currently at Jade Mountain in Soufriere, St. Lucia, West Indies, after spending a blissful four days at Sandals La Toc. I’ll give you all the details very soon on our new site, but I just had to say hi and give you a few pics from our magical week in honeymoon paradise. My husband, Ari, and I never really had a proper honeymoon. We went to the Navy Lodge after getting married in Vegas. So, this has been a dream come true. What was supposed to be a simple property review for the new SW site and a few days away has blossomed into the honeymoon we never had. We were not expecting it at all. This is the honeymoon I could only dream of! Sandals completely blew us away. How beautiful is this!? The millionaire suite…

The rondoval suites…

I’ve had so much fun meeting loads of SW readers here! I have lots of pics with Southern newlyweds to come as well as their wedding photos. We watched 80 couples renew their vows on the beach. So magical. Love is definitely all you need at Sandals.

Four days at Sandals and we genuinely did not want to leave. We are already planning a trip to return!

Jade Mountain is also spectacular. This is “The Bachelor” hotel as well as one of the spots Oprah said you have to visit before you die. We can see why.

Two more days in paradise and only a little while till I spill all the beans on these amazing places for you on the new site. If you just can’t wait to hear details, my husband has taken to blogging and is detailing our entire trip here. And if you can’t wait for more photos, they are all on my facebook. Happy weekend, y’all! Enjoy!

Happy Early Halloween!

by in Main on

We’re signing off a bit early today to work on new site features (yay!), so thought we’d leave you with this pretty, glam Halloween-ish inspiration board. Switch out the usual orange pumpkins for their gilded cousins or baby white Cinderella gourds, and use delicate (and bewitching!) black lace as a design accent. And how gorgeous is the applique on that dress?!

Happy Halloween, Southern gals and ghouls!

Reminder: SW V3 Photo Contest!

by in Main on

Since V3 was our biggest + best issue yet, we had to come up with an equally awesome giveaway. (Pretty tough billing, I know.) I think we succeeded, however, with our MEGA Photo Contest.
give

For all you late-comers who missed the first announcement: y’all have until November 5 to send us a photo of you with SW V3. The more creative the better! There are only two rules: you have to tweet your pic(s) to us (@iloveswmag), and then email it/them to Whitney (whitney at iloveswmag dot com). We’ll feature our favorite submissions on the blog and then vote on them later that week. Simple, right?

What makes this our best (MEGA!) photo contest yet? The prizes, naturally! The winner will get to choose one of four prizes:

1. 10 copies of SW V3 for you + your friends;
2. An ad on the brand new SW site (launching soon!) if you are a vendor;
3. An iPod Nano; or
4. Bragging rights, and a feature right here on the blog!

Told ‘ya it was awesome.

Get your copy of SW V3 now, and start snappin’!
