Had the chance to visit Seoul for the first time a couple of weeks ago, and it was the perfect place to break out this shearling coat by Sandro that I haven't been able to wear in the past couple of years due to living in South America. It's difficult to explain just how warm this coat is, so that's why even though it was one of the coldest days in Seoul so far this year, I was able ..read more

5 months flew by so quickly, but hello, I'm back. I hope the new hair color is easy on your eyes too, but for me, it's been an inspiring some new wardrobe updates. I'm excited to pick up on this blog again, and share some of the outfits I've been dying to wear in the past year or so. I'll start us off with this pair of cargos from Acne Studios that I've had on my wishlist ..read more

Finally sharing this gem of a hotel with you guys after just staying there again for the second time on our most recent trip to CDMX. I get really lucky on my travels because most of the hotels end up meeting my expectations, but Uma Casa was one of those that exceeded them completely. This family-run boutique hotel located in the upscale Lomas de Chapultepec neighborhood ..read more

Can't you tell how happy I am to have made it back to Mexico City just in time for the jacaranda season? I've only seen photos of jacarandas before, never in person, so I was completely mesmerized by how vibrant they are in person. As I admired them over the next few days during our trip, I couldn't help but feel how fitting their color is for a city like CDMX. Ever since my last ..read more

To start the year on a slower pace, my boyfriend and I have been indulging in a few staycations here in Lima to get a feel for different neighborhoods in our current city. We had the most incredible weekend at Atemporal, a charming boutique & 5 stars luxury hotel in Lima, Peru. The hotel is also under the same group as another beautiful hotel that we got to stay at when we visited Arequipa late last year, called Cirqa. With that previous expectation, we knew from the moment that we arrived, we were in for a treat. The hotel's unique character and attention to detail really stood out to us ..read more

Slowly getting back into the routine of sharing more outfits lately and I wanted to first document the most recent purchase I made in 2023. I’ve been eyeing pieces from Havre Studios for a long time and finally caught this herringbone contrast blazer just in time at one of their end-of-the-year drop. It’s currently summer in Lima, but some days are a bit chillier, so I’m wearing it here with a simple bodysuit and white balloon denim. 'Balletcore' is supposedly trending this season but I think I found a pair that’s going to last me past its trend cycle. I love how put-together this Aeyde ..read more

This isn't the first time you've seen me in this pair of color-blocked pants that I've scored on a sale from Petar Petrov, but I'm pretty sure that you're not sick of them at all (because everytime I share them, I get such a boost of confidence from all the compliments that I get). Fall is my favorite season for so many reasons, but fashion-wise, I get excited to try and style some of my favorite pieces again for cooler temps. When you think of color-blocking in 2022, many of us will think of bright and bold colors right away, but to speak to how circular trends are, I love how these neutr ..read more

Formally, the word 'Cirqa' comes from ‘circa’ which refers to its meaning with a certain moment or period in time. It is written with a 'Q' as in the city's name, Arequipa. We had the pleasure of lodging for one full day and one night at this wonderful property in the heart of this city. Staying at CIRQA a Relais & Châteaux hotel was such a treat as it is not just a chic place to rest but it is also a site with great historical significance. The hotel's architecture combines sillar stones that are unique to the formation of this city as it is also nicknamed, Arequipa - La Blanca C ..read more

The general awareness of sustainable fashion brands and conscious consumption of clothing has increased tremendously in recent years. As someone who has been quietly advocating for a more thoughtful approach to participating in this ever-changing fashion industry, I'm really happy to see this shift in mindset. Personally, I think it’s extremely important to consider our consumption of clothing first and foremost while urging for a more sustainable fashion industry. At the end of the day, most fashion brands are businesses and the principle of any thriving business is products and demands ..read more

A month flew by so fast that I finally found the time to say hello from Lima officially on the blog. I wasn't expecting things to move as quickly as they have been going so far, but if you're keeping up with me on Instagram, we just got back from Bolivia last weekend and it got a bit chillier here already despite the "tropical" weather that I was looking forward to. I packed so many dresses and skirts but instead, I ended up wearing all of my long sleeves and denim jackets for the past couple of weeks. I picked up this beige ribbed knit top from Proenza Schouler on a super good end-of-seaso ..read more
