Made in Mexico

Había olvidado compartirles un pequeño pedazo de información que tal vez les sirva si viven en Hermosillo. Cuando tuve la sesión de fotos en Catedral y la plaza bicentenario (de la cual pueden ver los resultados aquí y aquí), una chava que andaba paseando por ahí se nos acercó para felicitarnos por el outfit y preguntar detalles acerca de él (que si era una sesión para una revista, de donde era la ropa que traia puesta, los accesorios, etc). Platicando con ella resultó que uno de sus hobbies era hacer pulseritas para vender, y nos mostró algunas que traía con ella. A mi me eeeencantaron, sobretodo porque ultimamente traigo obsesión por pulseritas delgaditas y delicadas, y no pude resistir comprarle un par. Por supuesto, ya que en la plática había salido que las fotos eran para mi blog, y que siempre publico donde compro cada pieza que uso en mis outfits, le prometí compartir su información con ustedes.
Las pulseritas cuestan $35 pesos y hay de todos colores. Yo escogí una plateada y una dorada, y las amo. Los dejo con la foto de las pulseritas y la info de su creadora.
Que tengan un lindisimo fin de semana!

I had forgotten to share a little piece of information that may come in handy for you if you happen to live in my hometown, Hermosillo, México. When I had the photoshoot there back in early January (you can see those photos here and here), a girl that was walking around the main plaza came up to those to compliment my outfit and ask details about it. In our conversation with her it turned out that one of her hobbies was making and sellong these cute little handmade braceletes, and she showed us a few that she had with her. I looooved them, especially because lately I’ve been obsessing over thin delicate bracelets, and I couldn’t help buying a couple of them from her. Of course, also in our conversation it had come up that the photos we were shooting were for my blog, and that I always share the details on where I buy everything I wear, I promised her I would share her information with you guys.
The bracelets are under $2 dollars (that’s right! A total steal) and she has them in every color. I went for a silver one and a gold one, and I love them. Here I leave you with a picture of the little bracelets, and the info of their creator.
Have a nice weekend!

I Heart Mexico

Graffiti on sidewalk in Colonia Roma

Sorry I was absent from the blog the past couple of weeks, but I am happy to confirm I’m still alive! I just took a little vacation to Mexico City last week, and even though I left for just one week, preparing for the trip and recuperating from it always takes time, at least for me anyway. However, this little vacation was more about spending time with loved ones and attending one lovely wedding, than about touring around the city.

I have toured the city several times before, in fact I lived there for a year a few years ago, but still I had planned to do it again on this trip; first, just because I love doing it, the city is beautiful, full of history, idiosyncrasies and fascinating sites; and then, because I wanted to take pictures of it all to share with you guys; but things didn’t go as planned… not that I’m complaining, it was wonderful to catch up with friends and family. Nevertheless, my friend Salvador, who lives in Seattle, but also happened to be in Mexico City last week, came to the rescue of my picture sharing plans. He is quite the photographer and took some wonderful shots of his adventures around the city, and has been kind enough to let me share some of them with you here. So, once again it all worked out for the best, because my amateur little pictures wouldn’t had been half as good as his.

So here I leave you to enjoy his skillful photos… plus some I took at the aforementioned lovely wedding, which were the only pictures I manage to take the whole time I was there.
