Golden scales

 
These earrings were really a sweet little find... Resting on the back table of an artist's exhibit at a local art show. They're so fun and original I couldn't help but scoop them up in an instant.

Xochimilco


 
Earrings and hat bought in market
H&M dress, American Eagle button-down, Converse shoes, and hat I just bought in Mex market
Xochimilco [soy-cho-milk-o] ... it took me like three days to figure out how to say that! I had to take the metro all the way to the end, which let me just say is looooooong, then take a train, then a taxi to get to this little gem, but it was totally worth the trek! The shopping in the market was amazing... full of traditional art, clothing, jewellery, shoes... everything! And like Mexico City, it's full of bright colours!! After shopping in the market you ride around a neon painted boat, where you can eat, drink, and listen to mariachis, while a man pushes you around with a giant stick, as you can see I was able to pose for a picture with. I tried to keep my outfits as functional as possible while there since I was always walking, hence the converse. Secret loves of my closet...

Hola Tula



 



Free People vest, Abercrombie top, Urban Outfittes shorts, Spring boots

Hola everyone!! Long time no post.... I just got back from an incredible trip to Mexico City. Here are some pics from one of my days there, when I visited the Gigantes de Tula. OMG!! These ruins were absolutely breath taking... the second last picture here I really love because you can see the stunning pyramids with the new city built into the mountains, in the background. Overall Mexico City was beyond amazing and exhausting for my senses. There's so much going on at any given moment, I wonder if I'll ever be able to really know this city. Mexico City... you are a crazy, beautiful monster city! Me Gusta!!!!

Satin Lines




H&M Dress annd Vintage Wedges
Omg I can't believe it's August! Summer is flying by.... outfit by outfit! There's just not enough days in the year to properly express myself, I feel like a blank canvas every morning... and my outfits have a story to tell! This one is so simply put together, with the satin stripes saying, "I'm beautiful and I don't want to hide it!" These shoes I'm hopelessly in love with and have been wearing all summer, I especially love them with high-waisted shorts. Happy Friday!!!
