Top, skirt & earrings: thrifted. I have to admit, I do feed off of the collective motivation that comes from a symbolic "new beginning". However, I wont e...
Two posts in one day. More thrifting tips & an easy DIY. My end of the year gift to yall! :) I noticed how much prices have increased on my last secondhand shopping trip, so I made use of new tri...

I wrote about Paz aka "Pacita" before. A close family friend (almost grannys cousin), she gifted me her old sewing machine. My great-grandma taught her to sew, and the student surpassed the m...
Ive mentioned the lack of fabric choices in La Ceiba that leads to silly things like this, so once again I fell for a utility fabric with a funky print used for...TADADAAA...baby blankets! The textur...
My sisters and I all have thick, uncontrollable hair. Tropical weather doesnt help either. We need to come up with solutions. They suggest a new frizz taming cream. I think we should do turbans. Here...
I like thrifted things and its literally written all over my blog. When it comes to shoes, however, I rather stick to new. New and on sale, that is. My options are very limited and Im a bit picky, so...
Over-sized tops are found in buttloads at thrift shops. Sometimes I likem nice and roomy due to DIY potential. This top, for instance, had cute white polkadots all over but was faar too large at the ...
Corsets to me are what tanktops are to most girls. ♥ Found this pretty baby in a thrift store. Its pastel colors and and pearly white texture reminded me of these abstract paintings, more like ...
Follow my blog with bloglovinBefore anything, I want to thank everyone for such kind emails and comments, they really do make my day!! I have to say, Im definitely opened up for opportunities but in ...
I dont think Ive had a conversation regarding inspiration without mentioning the corner. On this corner Ive heard long lost love stories, life lessons, nasty gossip...Ive stepped on horse (and errr, ...
I was just about to step out of the craft store when I noticed my soon-to-be “big” accessory purchase. Right between the foam letters and wedding decorations laid a flower headband,...
First post of the year…took me a while, eh? I’ve actually been longing for an update as well…after all, this is my diary. =) I ended last year with two garage sales. These, of course, had somewhat of...
Last month I attended the Fashion Week Honduras event for the second time. For this post, however, I’m going to focus on my personal experience rather than the fashion itself. Blogging kinda loses it...
Even before the fabulous Catherine Baba+bike pictures surfaced, I decided to make a bike my official form of transportation and failed miserably. Turns out sidewalks are not my friends and brakes see...
May=carnaval in La Ceiba. Luckily, theres no inappropriate flashing a la Rio de Janeiro, but it’s defnitely the month of unlimited booze, chicks in skimpy clothes and excessive crepe paper. I happen ...
This is probably the longest I’ve ever been without posting. I perromiseeee it’s all been for the better! I’ve been doing school, working on a few projects and getting ready to move by the end of thi...
For the sole purpose of adding to the pressure, I have decided to make my first post of 2011 about a few of my new years resolutions because I am old-fashioned like that and have about 138 of them. A...
This isnt the first time I write about one of my favorite places in La Ceiba, "the corner". Its really just a random corner in a neighborhood near my own, that has entertained/inspired me in ...
As an attempt to achieve an Annie Hall look, I purchased these pants at a thrift store for a little over a dollar (25 lempiras). However, they never did my small frame any justice. Thats wh...
I was lucky enough to get into a tent during NY Fashion Week. Okay, okay, bad joke… When the Renato Circus came to town last week, I decided I would stop by and try to peek in. The show wouldn’t begi...
In La Ceiba everyone shops at the same fabric stores because we dont really have many to choose from. As a result, real life “who wore it better” segments abound! Here’s proof: a friend made a ...
Due to a very limited budget and shopping options (oh, the consequences of a peculiar taste in a third world country), I have recurred to the one and only: recycling. It’s a good way to make people b...
One of the main excitements of our local carnival is catching the colorful necklaces that are thrown from the parade floats (us thirdworlders are big fans of free stuff, including the plastic forks f...
My blog will excuse me for the temp abandonment, but I was busy being a pretend...Londoner! :) I do mean the actual London, not a remote village in Honduras (theres a Miami and a Paris de Lean, but n...
At home, I usually have to beg my siblings (or whoevers around) to take photos for my blog. Its either that or the trusty timer. Im 1.) too shy to "pose" for anyone else and 2.) aware that as...
