So New York Fashion Week kicked off this Thursday, and even though the leaves have just started to change and we are gearing up for fall, everyone is itching to see what we’ll be wearing next Spring. So Gwen is one of those people who just always looks amazing wherever she goes for whatever she does. I was a big fan of L.A.M.B., but the last few collections were not doing it for me. This one however is a breath of fresh air. From the funky/cool draping to awesome structured jackets, our homegirl Gwen has done it again.

I remember getting the e-mail for this from Anna Wintours assistant while I was at Resurrection, asking if they wanted to participate. When is LA’s fashion night out? Left out of the loop once again…

Coco Rocha for Numero Magazine…Love!

Another day in the city brings about new adventures. Wednesday it was the National Museum of Anthropology, containing one of the most extensive and complete collections of pre-columbian history in Mexico. I must say this was one of my favorite parts of the trip. The second level of the museum was filled with tons of cultural artifacts of the different tribes throughout Mexico, including beautiful textiles, pottery, and ceremonial costumes which was probably my favorite part of the museum. The lower level contained Aztec,, Mayan, and other significant ruins paving the way for present-day Mexico.

We went through hell and back today trying to change to flight to saturday and but I had all of today to see the  Museum of Modern Art, and tomorrow I go to the Casa Azul and see the rest of Coyoacan. I catch an early flight saturday morning and I’m back in LA! One more day to take it all in… Hopefully I can squeeze in a few more updates!

Day 2

Monday we made our way to charming picturesque town of Taxco, about 2 hours outside of the city. This town is nestled in a hill side with its old buildings and cobblestone streets, and is most famous for its silver mines and a beautiful baroque church, Iglesia de Santa Prisca

This church has intricate ornate detailing, both inside and out, and is home to two rare paintings; one of a pregnant Virgin Mary, and another of the circumcisions of Jesus Christ.

Day 3

My mom and I got as early as a start as we could, and decided to check out the Zocalo which is the historic center of Mexico City and home to the Palacio Nacional, Catedral Metropolitana, and Templo Mayor (to name a few).

We started at the Palacio Nacional which stands as the executive palace and government offices to Mexico, upon entering, Diego Rivera’s ‘Epic of the Mexican People’ is displayed on the left wall. From the National Palace we walked over to the Cathedral which I learned is the largest in the western hemisphere and took nearly 3 centuries to build. We went up to the bell towers and had an impressive view of the Zocalo.Our next two stops were Templo Mayor, an Aztec temple which was only recently uncovered (about 1971 I believe) by accident. From there we had lunch at Casa de las Sirenas, a beautiful and brilliantly colored restaurant where we enjoyed modern takes on classic Mexican dishes.

There is still so much more to see! Because of which I have extended my trip an extra 2 days to take in as much more as I possibly can. Now it’s time to get ready for dinner, more mango margaritas perhaps?
