With the release of our Summer new arrivals, we’ve been daydreaming of our Summer photo shoot in Puerto Rico. While everyone was snuggled up in their throw blankets in December, our creative team traded their cozy socks in for flip flops and escaped to the sandy beaches of San Juan, Puerto Rico to photograph our Summer 2017 product. Senior Art Director, Heidi, gave us a close-up of their photo shoot experience.

WHERE TO STAY
“El Conquistador had everything we needed for our stay — beautiful scenery, amazing food and plenty of outdoor activities!” – Heidi
Our team stayed at El Conquistador, a Waldorf Astoria resort. Although they spent a lot of time hard at work, everyone raved about the experience. It would be nearly impossible to be bored at this resort between the countless pools, water park, tours, outdoor activities and events. If you find yourself in Puerto Rico, we highly recommend it.
WHERE TO SHOP
“There are so many little shops all through the streets of Old San Juan. It’s hard to pick just one!” – Heidi
Between shopping in the historic streets of Old San Juan and the countless shops found right at your resort, you’ll have no trouble finding souvenirs for everyone on your list. El Conquistador has its own clothing boutique, spa, convenience stores and souvenir shops, so you truly would never have to leave the resort.
WHERE TO EAT
Discovering hidden gems is one of our favorite things about travel. While circling the city, we discovered La Bombonera bakery, a local favorite in the historic district of Old San Juan. If you make the stop, quesitos and a café con leche are an absolute must.
“La Bombonera is the best! It’s an old style café that is perfectly maintained. The quesitos are to die for!” – Heidi
If you want the full Puerto Rican culinary experience, try going on a food tour. The Old San Juan Food Tour will take you around the city where you’ll sample local eateries and learn the city’s history as you go.
WHERE TO PLAY
Whether lounging under an umbrella or snorkeling off the shore is your idea of fun, Palomino Island is perfect for a day-trip. Just a short boat ride from the shore, this picturesque island is great for sunset cruises, water sports and just soaking up the sun.
“Palomino Island was the best find! It has everything from horseback riding on the beach and outdoor games to a cocktail bar.” – Heidi
