Red is for Love




Michelle and I are super excited for this weekend. First of all, Randolph Market is happening again and we want to find something extra special for our first give away! yay vintage! Second, the superbowl is almost here and there is nothing better than yelling at the T.V. screen for almost 4 hours...Right?...
We hope you all enjoy your weekend as much as we will.

Beanies







For Christmas my mother bought us a dog! It was very difficult to name him, but after hosting a raffle with 14 possibilities, his name ended up being Dino. He is such a cutie and extremely friendly. He is a big fan of hugs and peanut butter, and I can't wait for spring to arrive so he can fall in love with the beach! He is so adorable, especially when he is prancing all around the house. I hope you love the pictures we took and think he is as beautiful as we find him(:

Adventures







While I was in Mexico, I found an amazing little shop that supports local artists with their creative designs. From shoes to dresses to cameras, Justina Resortes [Galeria] is an amazing shop hidden in a little street in Colima, Mexico. I was surprised of all the beautiful stuff they have, and of course the welcoming environment of  the place. Even more amazing are the lovely pieces I found for Michelle and of course, myself. We will definitely have an outfit post with our new findings. Anyway, I'm back in Chicago, and I must say that I hate that is not snowing. However, I'm excited for a new year. Hopefully Michelle and I can blog our hearts out more frequently.

Green all around













 I am happy to say that once again I'm enjoying  the beauties of Mexico. My friends and Family are a very important part of my life, and eventhough I'm not spending Christmas with my parents, I know that this year is going to be amazing. I was lucky enough to visit some new places in this beautiful country. These pictures are from a park  at Uruapan, Mexico. I fell in love with this place and its relaxing enviroment. It was like being lost in a fantasy land apart from the world. I truly miss Chicago but, Mexico has a special place in my heart. I am very proud of my roots and culture. I just wish Michelle was here enjoying all of this with me. 
After Uruapan, I visited Colima, Guadalajara, and Tepic... I found a beautiful shop at Colima. I will upload those pictures soon. I hope everyone is having an amazing time. 
Happy Holidays!

P.S. Michelle, I miss you!

All of This










I hope you have enjoyed these photos as much as us taking them. A cold wind has been taking over Chicago, so America and I have been innovating and being creative with indoor backgrounds. Like America said in the last post, WE ARE SO READY FOR WINTER WEATHER! Chicago is the best. We get to experience all four seasons and it is a blast. From extreme 90° weather to blizzards, I must say I enjoy the adventures -- being on the CTA bus sweating bullets due to lack of air conditioning or becoming numb with frostbite waiting at the bus stop...yup, that's Chitown. But, it also means that we have a variety of clothing and styles! So watch out, cause these Chitown girls aren't so shy ;)

Lights Out








Sometimes I love this wonderful weather, and sometimes I hate it. All the amazing things that that you can do when it's cold outside... put on a skirt and a pair of high socks... jackets, boots, beanies, sweaters, oh la la! sweaters! But, there are also those mornings when you just think about how cold it is outside and makes you want a slip into some sweatpants, a hoodie, and watch Friends all afternoon... Yes, I've been there, more times than what I usually admit. However, it's always worth it to put on a little make up and some nice clothes, even if you're only going out for five minutes. 
Michelle edited these pictures, and I truly love them. I've always thought that you need to be really patient when it comes to editing, and unfortunately that's a gift I don't have. But, with Michelle is another story, she has talent... :)

Randolph Street Market // CHICAGO














Today I had the opportunity to go to the Randolph Street Market here in Chicago, and as usual it was awesome. Michelle couldn't come with me because right now she is too busy with school, so yeah... sadly she missed all the fun. Lovely day for an outside vintage market today...nothing better than a perfect weather on a Sunday. Even though, I've been wanting some skirts... I kinda went crazy with jewelry and spend all my money on rings and bracelets hahaaha. So yeah... no skirts for me today. However, I saw the Lovely Samantha Balk at her lovely store Rose Vintage. Sam also introduce me to another lovely lady that has a vintage online shop (VISIT HER SITE HERE: DETH ROSE VINTAGE)Sam and Karyn are the most cute and lovely shop owners I've met... haha they're so adorable. Anyways... Today was a fantastic day... can't wait for the next vintage market woohoo!.
