LEHAPPY

Bustier – Vintage / same here
Skirt- She Inside
Bag- Wink and Winn / similar
Shoes- Steve Madden

This outfit is a from a couple of weeks ago. I wanted to wear this skirt so bad but not pair it with the typical, so I wore lace and a vintage blouse (which I got gifted by a fan) as cardigan for a dressy outfit. My accessories basically toned the outfit down. .black shoes with black socks (I like when the shoes look closed up so socks are my option when wearing sandals), black bag and my favorite rings and necklace.
Anyways, I’m back in the city and a little tired from my trip. I can’t believe how fast time goes by and how much I love my hometown. Miss it already…  my family and friends, my house, the food, the cheap vintage clothes, taking pictures with my two best friends or going out in the night and seeing people I didn’t see ages ago, and waking up in the mornings and have long talks and coffee with my mom, or listening to my dad talk about his love for videogames and his venus flytrap, and watching Orange is the New Black with my sister (it was the third time I watched it haha). Glad to have a busy week ahead of me so I can be fully distracted, and also this bright hot weather helps. Hope you guys enjoy your day!

Este look es de hace un par de semanas. Queria usar esta falda de manera distinta y no con lo tipico asi que me puse un corset blanco y una blusa vintage como cardigan para un look mas elegante. Los accesorios le bajaron la onda dulce al look… zapatos negros con medias (me gustan mas los zapatos cerrados asi que las medias nunca faltan), bolso negro y mis anillos y collares favoritos.
En fin, estoy de vuelta en Nueva York y un poco cansada. Me cuesta creer lo rapido que pasa el tiempo y como extrañaba Lima. Ya extraño varias cosas :( mi familia y amigas, mi casa, la comida, la ropa de segunda demasiado barata, tomar fotos con mis dos mejores amigas juntas, o salir en las noches y ver a gente que no veia hace demasiado tiempo, despertar y tomar cafe y hablar horas con mi madre, o escuchar a mi papa hablar de sus videojuegos favoritos y su planta atrapamoscas, ver Orange is the New Black con mi hermana (es la tercera vez que vi todo de nuevo). Felizmente tengo una semana super ocupada asi que estare bien distraida, y el clima de verano aca tambien ayuda! espero que tengan un lindo dia.

These pictures were taken here in Peru. Spending these days on places I missed and taking the most out of it was all I needed.
I’ve always had this feeling that gold pieces are super unique so I mainly wear them for those special occasions that matter the most. Peruvian ancestors, the Incas, had literally a gold empire, so this precious metal is an essential part of our history. To be honest, when I lived here I used to wear gold with my bohemian ensembles – it had so much to do with the culture I was surrounded by… we even have a Gold museum! So, coming back “home” inspired me to grab some of my mom’s pieces and incorporate them to my outfits. This time, I wore an elegant outfit to go have dinner with my family and added some of my mother’s beautiful gold jewelry and some other wonderful pieces provided by Lovegold.

Estas fotos las tome en Peru. Pasar esta semana con mi familia y en lugares que extrañaba era lo que mas necesitaba :)
Siempre he tenido la sensacion de que las piezas de oro son super unicas y las uso mas que nada para esas ocasiones especiales. Los ancestros peruanos (los incas) tenian literalmente un imperio de oro y es por esto que es un metal muy importante en la cultura peruana. Para ser sincera, cuando vivia aca usaba muchas mas joyas doradas en mis looks mas bohemios, y tiene todo que ver con la inspiracion de la que estaba rodeada. Asi que regresar a “casa” me inspiro a coger algunas piezas de mi madre y incorporarlas a mis looks. Esta vez use un look mas elegante para ir a comer con mi familia todo negro con blanco y me parecio que accesorios dorados iban perfecto.
