Karlito by the beach

A simple dress and a pair of casual sandals can be transformed with the right accessories. Sequins, pearls and tassels are guaranteed to give your look a fancier touch and get all the attention. If someone tells you that sequins and pearls are meant to be used in formal occasions, prove them wrong and wear the outfit all day long! There are no rules in fashion as long as you feel pretty and comfortable with what you are wearing!

Back to 2015 adventures

I started my 2016 blogging by telling you that I had been away on vacation but I didn't give you many details of my endeavors so it is time to tell you a little bit more. I spent the last days of 2015 in Mexico City and the first days of 2016 in Cancun. My sister with her boyfriend came for a visit so of course sightseeing was a big part of our days. One of the days in Mexico City was spent in Coyoacán where we visited Casa Azul, the Frida Kahlo museum, where the artist grew up and also lived with her husband Diego Rivera. We also visited the Cathedral, the market, had a great late lunch at Los Dazantes and then walked around its beautiful alleys. It is a really nice part of the city so if you are planning on visiting don't forget to include it to your plans.

Fashion sightseeing in Leeds

After spending about 16 days in Greece, it was time for a quick visit to England to my sister. Apart from going shopping and borrowing my sister's handbags I had the chance to do some sightseeing and cultural activities with her. We visited Kirkstall Abbey and the Abbey House Museum where apart from the permanent exhibition, there is an interesting one about beauty throughout history called "How Do I Look?".  Then we visited Lotherton Hall where apart from the permanent collection and the lovely grounds and bird garden, the newly adjusted Fashion Galleries are holding an exhibition called "The Age of Glamour", where fashion from the 50s is shown, including some dresses by Christian Dior.  If you happen to be in the area of Leeds, I highly recommend you visit these places :)
