Fashion and Coolhunting
Last Thursday, I went to Bomboti in Polanco for the opening of the “CARNAVAL” exhibition by 1/8 Takamura. Bomboti is an amazing hotspot where you can find art, design, and fashion, all from Mexican designers. I also had the opportunity to watch the fashion film by Julio Muñoz about “CARNAVAL,” the first runway show SS 2026 by 1/8 Takamura […]

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to visit and tour the studio and showroom of the brand 1/8 Takamura, founded by Mexican designer Guillermo Vargas Ayluardo. Located on República de El Salvador in Mexico City’s Historic Center, the studio brings together a team of approximately 20 people working across different areas that shape and sustain the brand. […]
Hello everyone! I’m sorry it took me so long to post about this amazing exhibition at the Franz Mayer Museum in Mexico City. I went there about a month ago with my significant other, and we had the best time. I also recommend trying breakfast or lunch at the museum — it’s absolutely delicious. If […]
A few days ago, I received an invitation to Alessandra Petersen’s pop-up store in Mexico City.

Last week, I had so much fun at SANTOS, a lovely little spot in Mexico City that features vinyl records, drinks, and coffee. Many times, I had passed by Gabriel Mancera and seen SANTOS through my car window, wondering what was going on inside. Sometimes, I would notice people gathering outside, listening to a DJ […]
Today, I had the chance to escape my routine and decided to come to Rincón. This place is wonderful, and if you love art, books, illustrations, Mexican design, good coffee, matcha, and delicious food, I’m sure you’ll love it as much as I do. I definitely want to come back and bring my boyfriend and […]
I was longing to write about this trend I’ve been spotting on social media—what’s behind it and why people are showing still life in a coffee tray as a medium of visual storytelling. At first, I saw these pictures and thought to myself that they look very aesthetic, and it’s interesting how people take their […]
Pinterest is one of my favorite social media and just scrolling I found a lot of pictures of Gucci eyeglasses cases turned into a clutch. I think it looks very aesthetic and cute. Upcycling existing luxury packaging is trendy—Pinterest users love using what they already own rather than buying new accessories. Pins showcase velvet Gucci […]
I love books and music! Yesterday I went to EL PÉNDULO Bookstore next to the Teatro Helénico since I was heading to watch a play at the theater, and it was pouring rain in the city. I recommend you to come and visit, they have a great book selection and also a restaurant. Are you […]
