Ay Dios Mio - Inspiration


Look at these beautiful sugar skull tattoos! I am inspired by these tattoos so much that I am beginning to brainstorm my own to get in the Fall! I don't know who the artists are and I am not an expert on tattoos, but I think they're amazing!

SSC Street Sights




The Rogers Park neighborhood in Chicago is home to some beautiful street art. I captured this Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), Mexican inspired art piece in an alley. 

This type of art is a major source of inspiration for me. I love the colors and imagery, couldn't ask for more!

Look - Skulls + Spikes + Corazons

I love this top! I love that the skulls have heart eyes, which makes it a little different than other skull tops like this one. I chose pink pants to add to the sweet factor and accented it with gold, pink, and black accessories. 

The black leather purse is vintage. It was purchased at an antique store in the 1970s by my mother. 

These type of purses are pricier and harder to find now, so if you're hunting for one, the best of luck!










My Fujifilm camera is no longer focusing, so I resorted to using my Samsung Galaxy 3 to take these shots. I apologize for the quality, but can't let technology failures stop one from documenting. 

THE LOOK 
1. Black and White Skull Blouse with Heart Eyes - Fun & Flirt (Marshalls)
2. Gold Cross Cuff Earring - Topshop (Sale)
3. Thick Gold Spike Bracelet - Amazon 
4. Long Gold Spike Bracelet - Amazon
5. Pink Pants - Mossimo Skinny Premium Denim: Target
5. Gold Gladiator Sandals - Urban Outfitters
6. Vintage Mexican Black Leather Purse (Hand-Tooled) - Antique Store

Karmaloop

               The Lita Hologram Shoe in Silver



My Dear friend Ymijan at Obsessions and Collections got me hooked on Karmaloop to buy my Jeffrey Campbell shoes. The reasons I love this online store are the frequent and substantial sales!

These JC Litas with the beautiful blonde heel and iridescent texture are 28% off. Originally $158 down to $113.95. If you wait, they may go down in price but you should check if they have your size, they disappear fast!

Look - Bordar Mi Vida

Summer has me colorful and distance has me inspired. My personal style tends to be rather colorful, so I feel this is a great first post. The skirt was the foundation piece for this look. I purchased the bright embroidered skirt in Lima, Peru on February, 2013.

I've been to Peru many times and am constantly inspired by its traditional elements. Living in Chicago, I am also inspired by Mexican and other Latino influences. This piece is an ode to those beautiful and bold inspirations, with a modern twist.




The Look:
Traditional Peruvian Skirt - Market in Lima, Peru
Rainbow Knitted Vest - Forever 21
Flower Hair Pins - Beauty Dollar Store
Pink Heels -  Akira
Necklace - Market in Lima, Peru
