And my new scarf!

I bought this baby in Salta, during a visit to the small town of Purmamarca. It's not as soft or versatile as my other scarf, but it's colorful!

RIP: Scarf

Last photo with scarf

Last week, I lost a dear friend: my scarf. It passed away on the 9th of July in La Chacarita Cemetery around 6pm. Probably taken by ghosts. Lived a long life, keeping me warm and accompanying me on trips throughout the United States, South Africa, Argentina and Uruguay. No services will be held.

Sunny Salta






Sunglasses: Forever 21
Shirt: Zara
Cardigan: Forever 21
Pants: Guess
Shoes: Clona

Went to Salta (Northern Argentina) this past week. The colorful mountains, the salt flats (seen in these pictures), and the quaint little villages make Salta one of the most beautiful and interesting regions in the country. If you have a chance, go. Also, they have great handicrafts. Post to come.

Winter Coat


Coat: vintage
Dress: vintage

It had gotten really nice in Buenos Aires in the last few days, but today it started to hail! Chunks of ice the size of quarters fell from the sky. I was at the Feria de Mataderos where I bought a llama hair wrap. It was probably way overpriced, but is so warm and beautiful. Pictures to come.

Pipi Cucu!


Bought a futuristic stewardess-like dress at Pipi Cucu la tiendita (Defensa 975) -- officially the CUTEST store name of all time. The store that carries only local designers with really wacky designs. The fabric is a bit sketchy (Argentine, so sort of shitty) but the dress is tight as a glove and shows every curve of my body. And the top has collar that rises in the back, but has a really low cut.

365 days of sustainable fashion



Sheena Matheiken has taken it to the max with The Uniform Project. In order to promote sustainable fashion, Sheena has pledged to wear the same dress for an entire year. She has a dress for every day of the week (thank goodness) and accessorizes with jewelry, tights, hats and other items of clothing.

One of the things I like best about Sheena's idea is her creativity. Sure, it's easy to look nice wearing a dress from any old store. But it's not exciting and different. Sheena not only promotes sustainable fashion, but innovative fashion as well.

Oh...and I also have a girl crush on her.

Fall hat


Skirt: Old Navy
Shirt: Zara
Tights: Purple
Hat: Romer
Cardigan: It's Our Time
Belt: Vintage

The hat is growing on me. At first it seemed a bit ridiculous, but now I'm enjoying it. And I've started noticing people wearing similar hats. Unsurprisingly, it's mostly old men.
