DOMINICAN REPUBLIC W/ MODELISTE MAGAZINE

For those that follow me, you know I’ve been traveling like crazy! I just got back from New York, Italy, Greece and Croatia, and heading back to New York this week for Fashion Week. Sorry for the gap in my postings! I wanted to share pictures from my recent trip to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic with Modeliste Magazine and a few of my favorite bloggers. We stayed at the Hard Rock Hotel Punta Cana. The resort is absolutely HUGE. It’s an all-inclusive with several restaurants on property, as well as lots of pools and even a casino and night club. It feels like a Vegas hotel.  There is a lot going on, and it’s located on a beautiful beach. My room was beautiful and spacious and I had my own hot tub in the middle of it. It’s a great  place to stay for families or with a group of people. Check out a few of my favorite pictures from the trip. Also had to wear my swimwear collaboration with Naked Wardrobe. My girl Jessi …

MIAMI SWIM WEEK 2016

Miami Swim Week is always crazy. This was my second year going and there is so much going on but it’s always fun. Each day my schedule was packed with parties, events and runway shows but I couldn’t make it to everything, it was exhausting. The main reason I went to Swim Week this year because it was right after I launched my swim line and I thought it would be great to have a presence there. I did a giveaway and gave all my model and blogger girlfriends my suits while I was out there. I even met Tash and Devin wearing my bathing suit and they kept saying how much they loved it so thought that was pretty cool. (I love them!) Below are a few of my favorite pics from this year. Make sure to follow along my snap chat for big events like this to see all the madness behind the scenes! It ain’t as glamorous as it looks 😉 (snapchat: Nicole_Isaacs) Shows/Events I got invited and/or went to: -Galore X …

NICOLE X NAKED WARDROBE SWIM

I designed 14 swim suits for my own swim collection for Naked Wardrobe.  I am always traveling to beaches around the world and I am that blogger always in a bikini,  so it made perfect sense. I designed the suits with my personal style and body type in mind. This collection represents me and my style.  It’s simple, classic and sexy. I’ve never designed my own collection for anything before so it was a learning process, but super exciting to see an idea flourish into existence. I am a perfectionist so wanted everything to be perfect on the first run- but obviously ran into some trials and tribulations which is common. A few things backed up the release date but better late than never right! I wanted every style to come in black, white and nude. I opted out on colors and patterns and stuck to classic solid neutral prints. The manufacturer didn’t have the right color nude I wanted so we got backed up on the nude styles because we decided to create the color nude …

THAILAND WITH MY BESTIES

I went to Thailand with two of my best friends Caity and Dominique. This was my first NON work trip in a long time so it was so much fun and honestly the experience of a lifetime to be able to travel with two of your closest girlfriends. Caity had an appearance at Comic Con in Bangkok so we were there for a few days, which was a few days too long lol. If you’ve ever been to Bangkok you know what I’m talking about. It’s not a place you want to be for more than a full day. The beauty of Thailand is out of the city and in the North and on the islands. I went to Thailand with my dad in 2009 so this was my second time there. I really love Thailand. It has gotten a lot more touristy since 2009, but it is still amazing. I highly recommend visiting Northern Thailand (specifically Chang Mai) to experience authentic Thailand. I visited Chang Mai with my dad but did’t get a chance …

CANCUN WITH ONIA

I recently just came back from a blogger trip with the swim wear brand Onia in Cancun, Mexico. I spent a few days at Nizuc Resort & Spa and it was absolutely beautiful. The weather was rainy most of the time which was a bummer, but it was still amazing to be there and we all still had fun and made the best of it. We spent a lot of time relaxing by the pool, eating lots of food (what else is new), and we took a boat out one day to see Isla Mujeres and swim in the ocean. We also all went out in Cancun one night to dance at a few bars/clubs which was really fun! Take a look at my pictures from the trip. The last 9 photos are by photographer Jorden Keith. (All swim suits are Onia).

SAN DIEGO WITH REVOLVE

Last weekend I went to San Diego with Revolve Clothing and a few other bloggers for a relaxing getaway at Rancho Valencia. The resort was beautiful and we all had a really great time. The food at Rancho Valencia was delicious and we had amazing breakfast, lunches and dinner- including a tequila tasting which was super fun. We also had a relaxing spa and pool day which was a nice treat. We also went to dinner and a night out on the town in San Diego’s gaslamp district to go dancing for a bit. Check out a few pictures from my trip with Revolve below! The brands we wore throughout the trip were NBD, Tularosa, Lovers and Friends, and Privacy Pls. Check my Instagram (@NicoleIsaacs) for brand tags! *Also, be sure to follow my Snap Chat to see my trips in live time. I always give a  resort/room tour on where I’m staying so you can get more of the full experience. (snap chat: nicole_isaacs)

PARIS

I went to Paris with one of my best friends Caity recently and had the best time. She had a Comic Con appearance and asked me to come with her so for once it wasn’t a work trip and I actually felt like I was on vacation. We were with a really fun group of people that she worked with on her TV show. We explored during the day, went vintage shopping and went out to some great dinners at night. We even went to see Moulin Rouge! The show itself was a little outdated but it was an amazing experience to get to see it, and we got to go backstage to meet the dancers which was pretty cool. See a few of my Paris pics below! RESTAURANTS: (Below are a few well known Paris restaurants I ate at): L’Avenue- Great people watching in a pretty neighborhood. Perfect for lunch. Hotel Costes- Caity and I had an amazing dinner at Hotel Costes. Very Parisian. I sat next to  Olivier Rousting, the Creative Director of Balmain which …
