I’m excited because today I fiiiinally get to start sharing my photos of Mexico with you! I say start because I took a gazillion photos so it’ll take many posts to be able to share all of my favorites.

If you follow me on Instagram/Twitter/Facebook, you may have an idea of the places I visited, which were a few. To sum it up, I traveled to Mexico City for almost 4 weeks, stationed myself there and then traveled during weekends to towns and cities around on a 5 hour radius.

I had such a fantastic time, exploring some of the culturally richest places in Mexico, reconnecting with my roots and with important people in my life. One of those people is my childhood friend Artemisa, who was so kind to snap these Look of the Day photos for me. I spent 5 days at her parents’ house in Pátzcuaro, Michoacán, and they were the warmest hosts you could ever imagine. Of course I’ll also share some photos of this lovely little town, but that will be next time as this post is just about this Look of the Day.

And speaking of, how cool is this faux leather jacket I’m wearing? It was a gift from my cousin Luzma (who you might remember I visited a couple of months ago in Seattle), and I love it!! The weather in Mexico was cooler and occasionally rainy so I wore it non-stop, and I plan to continue to do so as soon as the weather permits here in Arizona. I had been wanting a biker leather jacket for ages, and if you don’t have one yet, you better get on it because it is such a must-have.

Well, my dears, I’m off for today but I hope you are having a great week.
