Travel: Nostalgia

It’s been only 2 months since my last travel adventure and I’m already itching to get out there again. Especially when I look at photos of past travels and a big wave of nostalgia hits me like a brick. It’s not just nostalgia for a specific place or time, it’s nostalgia for the feelings I experience thru travel, no matter where I go. The excitement, the novelty, the discovery, the joy, the fulfillment…they can become addicting, and I’m more than ready for my next “fix”. Luckily, my next trip is quickly approaching, but until then I’ll have to settle for looking at old photos and reminiscing about good times.
And speaking of good times, I just realized I still hadn’t shared my photos of my trip to Puebla, Mexico with you guys, so we’re fixing that right now. It was such a good trip, not only because Puebla is one of those lovely cities with an old world feel and beauty, but because one of my best friends from high school, Mariana, lives there and I got to visit. It was almost a mini high school reunion since another of my best friends from high school, Artemisa, came along as well. We used to be a tight threesome back in the day, but we are even tighter now, despite time and distance. It feels so fantastic to have such a bond with people who have seen the best and worst of you and still decided to stick around. Thank God for technology bringing us virtually closer often, though I still miss them everyday…there goes the nostalgia again…

Look of the Day: California

Finally I get a chance to do a little fashion post, even if I have to keep it short and sweet due to lack of time. I know that sounds like a lame excuse, but it’s true. Things have been crazy for several weeks, and even as I’m slowly trying to get back to my good ol’ routine, truth is my mind is still scattered from it all. So bear with me please.
As you know, I spent a few days in California in early April, and this is the outfit I wore my first day there. We spent it strolling down the famous Venice Beach boardwalk and soaking up some sun in Malibu beach. By the way, if you are ever in Malibu, I highly recommend you visit Malibu Kitchen at the Malibu Country Mart; it is the cutest little market where you can find fresh food and great pastries and enjoy them in a nice casual setting.
Of course for such a casual and relaxing day, I just wanted to be comfortable, so this outfit is what I chose. The weather was chillier than I was expecting, but luckily I recently scored the perfect jean jacket at Old Navy (I had been searching for one for ages!) and it did the trick.
Besides the photos of my look, I added a few others from that day, hope you enjoy them!
