Dia de los Muertos


My first Day of the Dead here. I have always wanted to travel to Mexico to enjoy this time but it never happened. Instead I just started living here. No avoiding local taditions like that. To tell the truth here the holiday more honored is not call Dia de los Muertos but instead Hanal Pixan. It has so slight differences but that's what Maya celebrate and in the Yucatan peninsula it's  all about honoring maya traditions. 
We had a display of many ofrendas around as well as some food stalls, concerts, places to show off you interpretations of Catrina, sing traditional songs (for some reaason La Llorona was sang the most), dances and surely some shopping (yes I ate pan de muertos again, I can not explain why I loove it so much). We had SO much fun immersing in the traditions, I am sure we will do more when Ada Maria is a little older.
October 31th we also had some Halloween celebrations here with kids trick-or-treating which was super adorable. I have never had October-November time that fun! How did you celebrated the holidays?






My outfit is casual again, I wore jeans with a simple crop top (it's so cold lately, I miss lighter clothess). A belt was last minute addition as well as my big spooky pendant (it's a ram with 8 eyes), I do think it elevated my simplistic look.



I was wearing:
Befree jeans
Forever 21 top
Cuidado con el Perro shoes
Burberry belt

 

Have a nice day,

    1. It really was in my list and I think it is absolutely amazing. I totally advice to visit capital or other bigger cities or on contrary small rural villages for it. I heard it is absolutely spectacular in Oaxaca region

  6. Your outfit is cute. We kind of don't celebrate Halloween anymore. We used to when the kids were younger and would trick or treat.

  14. never knew it wasn't a thing in Australia. When I think of it none of my Australian pals ever mentioned it but I didn't pay much attention. So your kids didn't get to trick-or-treat? that's a little sad

Explore Starcon

I'm going to brake up vacation post series to share the Starcon experience. A week ago I was sitting on the same spot and getting ready to go. We've been to lovely Saint  Petersburgh. We managed to have a charming walk in the  evening even right after the con. Starcon was all about sci-fi and we loved it so much. We even wore the Jedi costumes (wait for them in the end of post). Max, my lovely husband, sewed them for only 3 days (that's why the design is so simple). and I also got 2d place in Star Wars Miniatures board game tournament took place there. I'm so happy! As for outfit - I've chosen a super comfy outfit with a very cool pants! I bought them on ebay and they are more than 20 year old pants (I guess soon they could buy booze on their own but I doubt I need it). I love them for their shape - keeping me cool during hot and warm when needed. Oh, and can I also call it my pijama pants trend pants? or not? What I also wanted to mention you are my fab set jewel

Say 'yes' to a dress with Yesbabyonline

When you start on inspiration posts it hard to spot. At least for me. I feel like I am half awake in my bed, feeling super lazy and have to strict plans for the morning so I am hitting the 'snooze' button. I almost hear myself saying 'five more minutes' and I do mean five more minutes but I fail and hit 'show me more' button. Inspiration from online shops devour me. Yes it is budget friendly (you don't need to buy things even though you do want to) but it is not safe for your time. I can't really say I am against it, it is a good to relax and is also useful if you need to wait for your partner to finish some stuff to do. This evening it works especially well because I am waiting for my husband to finish the page. I am more or less limited by time so my online inspiration will be most pleasing. As always I wanted to set up a topic to make it even better. My topic for today is long formal dresses . Out of tons of online shop I picked the best for me toda

МКММ + Couture Fashion Show

So! I am so very excited! I have visited my first real actual fashion show ever since March and I couldn’t ever be happier. It’s just wow! This time I visited MKMM final shows merged with Couture Fashion Show later that night. I had a chance to see many wonderful shows by young and talented designers and enjoyed it a lot. Creativity everywhere. Something is purely catwalk (and I totally don’t mind it at all), something that is very easy to imagine rushing the streets, something very creative and futuristic and making a statement with so much in between. Overall in love. I don’t think I really can be picky because after all those digital shows real made a huge impression on me. It almost as if I am visiting my first ever fashion show but better because I know what to expect. I think you are not reading this and already scrolled past this point and enjoy the contestants. And don’t blame you at all.  RU: Прекрасные новости! Мой первый настоящий офлайн показ с марта месяца. И он оказася пр
