Stripes and slingbacks

As I have mentioned before, in April I went to Finland. The reason why I went was to teach an intensive course for a few days. Being a teacher means you are in a constant process of learning and it is so amazing that my students teach me things without them even realising. For example through a presentation prepared by some students there, I got to learn more about a brand that I wasn't very familiar with: Lindex. What amazed me was that although it is all about affordable fashion, it is very committed to sustainability (on their website you can find public information about their suppliers) and also it is very inclusive as it offers a very wide range of sizes! 

Naturally, I was very intrigued so I decided to visit the shop and see the collection. After I went around the store to get an idea of the products offered , I stopped at the sales rack where many pieces were at 50% so I couldn't resist. This dress, despite being knit, is made of viscose and polyester so it's not too hot, suitable for a spring day, it is very comfortable and  the colours are just the cutest! Possibly I won't be able to use it for the next few months but sooner or later the perfect weather for it will arrive!

Denim coolness

I am such a fan of denim. It is like a blank canvas that is ready for any colour, any print. You can make an all-denim outfit cool combining it with interesting accessories . My combo of coolness was achieved with a) a pair of pretty shoes that were a gift from my boss for my birthday last month and for those who know me they can see how they were made for me (my boss is the best, right??), b) a beautiful hair accessory that in this case was a print neckerchief repurposed (a gift from a friend when he visited New York) and c) an awesome handbag with an interesting print that was an anniversary gift from my fiancé. I am coming to realise that I get a lot of fashion related gifts so thank you to all my friends that are feeding my love for fashion and help me maintain my coolness :)

Seriously mexican sandals

Part of getting to know a pretty place in Mexico is visiting the local market. You can find so many interesting handmade creations from local artisans. I had discovered this kind of sandals when I visited the market in Oaxaca but unfortunately my feet are too big for Mexican standards so I didn't manage to find them on my size. But now in San Miguel they came across my path and they were actually available on my size so I couldn't resist them. They are made of leather and I love how colourful they are!
