Look of the Day: Sweater Weather

I am officially the worst blogger in the world as I still haven’t finished editing my photos of Mexico…and I know you’re probably tired of reading my excuses reasons, but in my defense I have been very busy with a lot of last minute planning. Planning what? Well, for that you’ll just have to wait at least a couple more weeks to find out… but I promise it is goooood, and you’ll totally forgive me for relegating my blogger duties.

Now, not only have I not finished working on my travel photos, but I also haven’t been able to shoot any new Looks of the Day. However, last winter I shot several outfits with my dear Norma, including this, this and this, but for whatever reason I didn’t post this look at the time, which  it’s coming in very handy right now.

Finally, the weather is catching up here in Arizona, and as of yesterday I think we can officially call it sweater weather. So this post comes with perfect timing as my first sweater outfit of the season! Also, this is my first festive outfit of the season, you know, with the holidays quickly approaching and all. And oh this skirt, this lovely skirt…my love for it hasn’t faded, not even a little bit.

Shopping: Splurge vs Save

I know I’m behind again on my posts, and there are more posts coming about my trip to Mexico, but today I just had to share this amazing deal with you, my lovely ladies.

It’s no secret that if you’re a woman, chances are you fantasize about owning your very own pair of Christian Louboutin or Jimmy Choo shoes…and also, chances are you can’t afford them. And yes, I am one of those that would love to own a pair (or more!) of each myself. Pretty much any pair would do really, but lately I had been particularly smitten with the Christian Louboutin Decollete in Patent Nude pair ($685)…

They are so similar to the designers versions, and such a perfect go-with-everything pair of shoes. And you can’t beat that price, which is a sale price by the way, not the original price, so even better! Now run and get your own while they still have them, because they’re practically a must-have that I’m sure won’t last in-stock for very long. In fact, they didn’t have them in my size at the store, so I ordered them and now have to impatiently wait to have them on my feet (which won’t be until next week, grrr).  Of course, there will be countless Looks of the Day to come starring these beauties.

To splurge on the Christian Louboutin Decollete pumps, go here.                                          To splurge on the Jimmy Choo Anouk pumps, go here.                                                          To save on the Aldo Frited pumps, go here.

Look of the Day: Roots

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.
