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 - 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.
