Sun inspirations

I just reconnected with pinterest a couple of days ago. I had a little break from it cause I was getting unnecessary. But I am back with full force and this is a compilation of my latest pins. I'm sure you will notice my aesthetic, and what I'll be sporting these sunny days. I'm obviously wearing an african inspired maxi right now. Being all ethnic and shit while I write this post. My main goal to dressing on these upcoming hot days are comfort but still looking incredibly fabulous at the same time. I've collected a number of amazing printed kaftans the past couple of months and they've become my best friends. I wear them all day and don't mind it at all. Just put on some killer bold jewelry(bring out that Iris in you)and put on some snazzy shoes and you are set. Comfortable and still fabulous. It's a hard to thing to pull off but I figured it out and I'm loving every minute of it. If you know me well, then this is a big leap for me cause comfort was never considered whenever I put on my outfits, but now it's kind of become somewhat important? well, Im getting there. Enjoy your memorial day! love you all.

I WALK IN STILTS

You remember what I was saying about my 70s/tribal obsession in the last post? Well this is what I meant. My unnecessariness escalate to an all time high yesterday. It's like I've come to a crossroads where the 70s, Iris Apfel, and African culture all somehow intermix with each other and create a wonder of so many elements. I kept thinking Iris Apfel probably dressed like this when she was my age. If you don't know by now, Iris Apfel is my icon! 

As for my outfit goodies, I wore all of the newest editions to my closet in one complete outfit. I foolishly WISELY got these Kimichi Blue platforms that I soon discovered are the most dangerous shoes I own. I may have severely hurt my ankle walking in these bitches but I am determined to master the art of walking in heels that have 5 inch platforms. As for my beautiful kimono/robe whatever you may call, I found it at a thrift shop. For 3 bucks! 

Oh and don't mind my ridiculous amounts of jewelry. How can this kimono go without statement jewelry?

WEARING: Thrifted kimono, Kimichi Blue Platforms, Dee Lux sunglasses and jewelry from Anthro, Forever21, vintage and My own Designs. Orange clutch from wholesale-orders.

Not made in America

Moving to a city means you gotta adventure. You have to explore the surrounding areas, the food, the clothing etc. Portland is pretty much known as "The New Food Eden" and I can't even begin to explore all these places on my own. It's going to be a slow and gradual process cause there are so many areas to eat here, and they all look so flippin good! Apart from the food are the cute shops. Most are independently owned which is much better cause you get a one-of-a-kind purchase out of it. After adventuring these lil shops, I found a goodwill that had "Halloween central" plastered on the window and went in. I reached the halloween racks and hit the jackpot. One piece after the other of finely threaded Indian garments. I was in heaven. Ended up buying these two beauties. Who knew Portland was hiding these treasures in their halloween stash. I love this city and the inspirations it brings me. My latest inspirations have been things like these pieces. Anything remotely cultural. Tribal prints are great but I love tribal prints in their truest forms, straight from where they came from. Africa, India, Bolivia etc. The clothing handmade in those countries are just so vibrant and impeccably made. Some of the items I purchased in Bolivia were hand sewn by Bolivian village women who live in the Yunga Mountains. Makes it that much more special. Who wouldn't prefer that!?!

outfit of the day: Auf Wiedersehen, goodnight

Well the time has come for me to go on my South American Vacacion! Two major stops: Bolivia and Argentina. I will be M.I.A. till July 14th and as soon as I get back I will make a triumphant return. I dont mean to be a drama queen when I say this but I will be travelling back to the stone age when I go to Bolivia because I will be spending some time with my grandparents whom live in a small village between some unknown mountains. Yup, they are those mountain people who speak the language of our ancestors: Quechua. This means I will be living in a home that has no electricity, refrigerator and a hole in the ground as a toilet. To some this may sound like a hellish place but I'm kind of excited to venture on this quest. I will constantly remind myself the words of Thoreau and embrace my time away from the world. One down fall of course is losing contact with my lovely hermanita, amigas and all other loved ones while Im gone. I wish you all a great month of June and bask in the sun as much as you all can!
