getaway girl: miami, by day (part one).

thanks to 'the birdcage,' i have a huge fascination with this city in all it's art deco glory, so i think it's worth a getaway girl x 2. so, stay tuned for part two: miami, by night.

dezso by sara beltran.



these little pouches are a pretty suitable alternative to a tropical getaway... at least for my wallet.

until i reach globetrotter status, i think i'll live vicariously through designer sara beltran—she was born in mexico, got her start in new york and now lives in jaipur.

oh, and did i mention she's a brilliant jewelry designer?

alisa design.

is this not the dreamiest sweater you've ever seen?

actually, everything in this shop is pretty dreamy: see example 1. and 2.

wow.

lauren moffatt. (sale!)

pssst. a nice little memorial day sale going on over at lauren moffatt. shop your hearts out, friends.

getaway girl (revisited): san antonio.


hi, friends. i got lost daydreaming of a million places this week, so i couldn't pick just one.

i hadn't really planned on subjecting y'all to another 'go thunder!' post, but since they head to one of my favorite weekend getaways on sunday, i thought why not?

BUT, i was lazy, so you just get this one, pulled from the getaway girl archives.

margaritas and tex-mex never go out of style, and, while this ensemble's a little on the bright side (san antonio is a bright city!), i think it's still a winning combo, too.

inspired by... otomi print.

so this magical textile created by the otomi people of mexico has made its way alllll over the design blogosphere in recent years

headboards! bedspreads! lampshades!

but, despite seeing it all over the place, i haven't tired of it yet.

... which is why i was especially excited to see the pattern emerge in a wearable form à la this incredible dress from mara hoffman. she's used the print in a number of different looks, too. but i think this bustier dress takes la torta.

who doesn't like a little mexicana?
