WE VENTURED DOWN TO A CUTE LITTLE MEXICAN TOWN WHERE WE SIPPED ON TAMARIND MARGARITAS THAT WERE BOUND TO LEAVE ANYONE SAYING THE DRINKS WERE MUY BUENO AND IRRESISTIBLE. WITH COLORFUL MAXI DRESSES ON, DELICIOSO RICE AND BEANS, AND ENDLESS MOUNDS OF GUACAMOLE, MEXICO IS EASILY BECOMING A DREAM DESTINATION.

WHEN YOU WAKE UP IN THE MORNING, HIT THE GYM (WHICH HAPPENS TO LOOK OVER THE HUGE SHOREBREAK FROM THE WAVES AND CLEAR BLUE SKIES), COME HOME AND WORK, AND THEN CLOCK SOME BEACH TIME, YOU TEND TO DRIFT INTO A MEXICAN TRANCE. WHERE THE BIGGEST DEBATE OF THE DAY WAS WHETHER TO LAY BY THE INFINITY POOL OR ON THE SAND, LIFE IS GOOD. WE’RE ALL FEELING LIKE LUCKY GIRLS AND COULDN’T BE HAPPIER, SO BRING ON THE PINA COLADAS, LET’S SHOWER BEACH SIDE, AND SEE HOW MANY TIMES WE CAN SAY MUY CALIENTE.

NOT ONLY IS SHE AN INCREDIBLE MOTHER TO TWO OF THE CUTEST KIDS WE KNOW, SHE IS ALSO A TALENTED PHOTOGRAPHER AND ONE OF THE MAIN MASTERMINDS BEHIND THE ALWAYS FASHION FORWARD THE STYLE COLLECTIVE. THIS CITIZEN OF THE WORLD WAS BORN AND RAISED IN CALIFORNIA, BUT HAS LIVED AND TRAVELLED TO ALL CORNERS OF THE EARTH- BALI, AUSTRALIA, AND PLANS OF EUROPE…WE CAUGHT UP WITH OUR AMAZING FRIEND SYBIL HERE IN BYRON BAY, AUSTRALIA, WHERE SHE IS CURRENTLY LIVING WITH HER HUBBY (HUB IS RENOWNED SURF CINEMATOGRAPHER TAYLOR STEELE WHO INTRODUCED THE NEW SCHOOL MOMENTUM GENERATION) AND BEAUTIFUL GIRLS.
Q+A WITH SYBIL
Where is your favorite place to travel? India hands down. I just went last year for the first time and the colors in Rajasthan blew my mind. Candy colored turbans everywhere, the most beautiful people, textiles and the flavors and spices. Also the religious festivals are incredibly visual and so inspiring to photograph. I can’t wait to go back.
2. Favorite Beach? It’s a toss up between Caribbean waters and where I live now in Byron Bay. The beaches here are some of my favorite. I love how the sand squeaks and shorelines are so dramatic looking. Plus there are secret beaches and surprises everywhere.
3. Most exotic thing you have ever eaten? Where? Probably some stuff where I wasn’t actually sure what it was in Japan or Morocco. I’d rather not know, it’s all in the past.
4. Tan lines or no tan lines? I’d prefer none but I got some.
5. Best surfing memory? At our wedding in Tortola with all of our best friends, cruising all day on longboards, cocktails in hand on the beach. I remember it like a super 8 film, a dreamy memory.
6. Favorite MIKOH suit? The Reunion top and Bali bottom is the perfect blend of chic, sexy and comfortable.
7. Plans for the future? I have big plans! This is the first time in a long time I’ve felt settled somewhere so slowly taking the right steps to make a few career dreams come true. Fashion photography is a passion and women’s causes/non violence is where my heart is. If I could channel my photography to help bring awareness to some of these programs, that would be the best laid plan.
8. Biggest accomplishment in life so far? My gypsy family/girls who have traveled the world, made some amazing friends, love art and music and are really sweet girls, with some spice thrown in there too of course! The first time Oleema and I hung out in Bali, we must have talked about moms and daughters the whole time-I think I asked her 100 questions about how you guys were raised. It’s very special!
