Big Sur

by Daniella Grace


This week, I'm in Big Sur shooting with Project Mermaids and I couldn't be more excited! Not only do I get to be transformed into a beautiful mermaid (every woman's dream) but I also get to be apart of such an amazing cause.

We are on our third day of shooting and so far this has been one of the best experiences of my life... From the wonderful crew to the magical locations we've stumbled across, I never want this trip to end..🌿🌎🌊 

Β "Project Mermaids was started in 2012 by celebrity fashion photographer Angelina Venturella and acclaimed underwater photographer Chiara Salomoni who share the same passion for photography and preserving the ocean.  The goal of Project Mermaids is to bring awareness as to how precious the ocean and beaches are and to keep this beautiful environment healthy and clean. 50% of the proceeds are going to be addressed to the save our beach foundation.

To help raise awareness, Project Mermaids is capturing celebrities in mermaid form working with The Mertailor Eric from Florida, which is making and donating the tails for our models. The Foundation has gone viral with over 158,000 followers on Instagram and has continuous growing awareness of their efforts. Project Mermaids has had recent press coverage in the Huffington Post, US Weekly, Just Jared, Cosmopolitan, Perez Hilton, and many more .

The photographs will be shown September 25th, 2015 in an art show and in a table book for the world to see how much more there is beneath the surface of the seas, and how much more there is to work on. The world just needs to see it in order to understand it and take action."

San SebastiΓ‘n

by Daniella Grace


The girls and I have finally made it to our destination and I must say, San SebastiΓ‘n is certainly living up to all the hype! To be honest, this was never a place I thought to go out of my way to visit, but ever since I landed in Spain a month ago, countless people (including a lot of you) have been telling me that I neeeeeeded to come here. So, I owe you all a big thank you for the recommendations because the girls and I are in heaven! Also, we lucked out on three full days of sunshine after a long cold front.. I can't tell you how happy I am to finally be back in a bikini! Bring on the sun and sangria!

The Road to San SebastiΓ‘n

by Daniella Grace


While driving up the coast from Bilbao to San SebastiΓ‘n, we ouldn't help but pullover for a bit of site seeing.. Which turned into a few hours of hiking out to this beautiful little island called Gaztelugatxe. These photos are proof that sometimes the most spontaneous decisions end up making some of the most amazing memories.. Oh and some seriously sore legs..

Barcelona

by Daniella Grace in


Here's a little look into my stay here in Barcelona.. Believe it or not, I really enjoy being a tourist when I travel as I generally don't get to sightsee very often. Usually, I have certain places to be or people to meet and then I'm back on a plane to LA before I know it. But this week is all about leisure. So as I sit here now, on a double-decker bus, with a map in one hand and a beer in the other, I realize, this is how traveling should be..

What's Underneath?

by Daniella Grace in ,


Some people are obsessed with watches, shoes, purses, etc.. but for me, it's elegant lingerie. It just does something to me.. And I think it's the beauty behind how something so delicate and intricate can make a woman feel so empowered. And mind you, I'm not talking about wearing lingerie in just a seductive way but more so as an everyday appreciation of yourself.. No one even has to know. Christian Dior once said, "Real elegance is everywhere especially in the things that don't show.." and that's exactly how I feel about my underwear.. It's what's underneath, that counts.. β€οΈ

Madrid

by Daniella Grace in , ,


Finally back in one of my favorite Spanish cities, Madrid. Between my friends, the shopping, site seeing and incredible food, no trip to Europe feels complete without a stopover here.. And yes, walking on these cobblestone lined streets is a talent I've acquired through trial and error! ;)

Running Around Town

by Daniella Grace


The girls and I got together this afternoon to enjoy some cafe con leche's and do a bit of site seeing.. The more I roam around Girona, the more I realize how much history and beauty is in this little town.. It's such a unique place to experience. Being here is like living in a museum.. Expect all the ancient artifacts are on display to be touched and or walked upon. It's as if time's stood still here and the only thing changing is its people..
