If you’re searching for one of the best hotels in Tokyo, Onsen Ryokan Yuen Shinjuku might be the one. I had such a pleasure staying at this serene retreat in the heart of Shinjuku just a couple of weeks ago. I’m already thinking of when I can visit again when the weather isn’t too hot for a longer soak in their open-air onsen while taking in stunning views of the city skyline. With a ..read more

I was standing on the bathroom line at Bangkok’s airport a few nights ago and jotted down this quick note: “social trends come and go but our thoughts are not temporary”. Yes, I had the chance to quickly visit Bangkok for the first time recently, and really fell in love with the people of Thailand from what I’ve seen and felt so far. It’s a place that I can’t wait to visit again ..read more

Had the chance to visit Seoul for the first time a couple of weeks ago, and it was the perfect place to break out this shearling coat by Sandro that I haven't been able to wear in the past couple of years due to living in South America. It's difficult to explain just how warm this coat is, so that's why even though it was one of the coldest days in Seoul so far this year, I was able ..read more

5 months flew by so quickly, but hello, I'm back. I hope the new hair color is easy on your eyes too, but for me, it's been an inspiring some new wardrobe updates. I'm excited to pick up on this blog again, and share some of the outfits I've been dying to wear in the past year or so. I'll start us off with this pair of cargos from Acne Studios that I've had on my wishlist ..read more

Finally sharing this gem of a hotel with you guys after just staying there again for the second time on our most recent trip to CDMX. I get really lucky on my travels because most of the hotels end up meeting my expectations, but Uma Casa was one of those that exceeded them completely. This family-run boutique hotel located in the upscale Lomas de Chapultepec neighborhood ..read more

Can't you tell how happy I am to have made it back to Mexico City just in time for the jacaranda season? I've only seen photos of jacarandas before, never in person, so I was completely mesmerized by how vibrant they are in person. As I admired them over the next few days during our trip, I couldn't help but feel how fitting their color is for a city like CDMX. Ever since my last ..read more

To start the year on a slower pace, my boyfriend and I have been indulging in a few staycations here in Lima to get a feel for different neighborhoods in our current city. We had the most incredible weekend at Atemporal, a charming boutique & 5 stars luxury hotel in Lima, Peru. The hotel is also under the same group as another beautiful hotel that we got to stay at when we visited Arequipa late last year, called Cirqa. With that previous expectation, we knew from the moment that we arrived, we were in for a treat. The hotel's unique character and attention to detail really stood out to us ..read more

Slowly getting back into the routine of sharing more outfits lately and I wanted to first document the most recent purchase I made in 2023. I’ve been eyeing pieces from Havre Studios for a long time and finally caught this herringbone contrast blazer just in time at one of their end-of-the-year drop. It’s currently summer in Lima, but some days are a bit chillier, so I’m wearing it here with a simple bodysuit and white balloon denim. 'Balletcore' is supposedly trending this season but I think I found a pair that’s going to last me past its trend cycle. I love how put-together this Aeyde ..read more

This isn't the first time you've seen me in this pair of color-blocked pants that I've scored on a sale from Petar Petrov, but I'm pretty sure that you're not sick of them at all (because everytime I share them, I get such a boost of confidence from all the compliments that I get). Fall is my favorite season for so many reasons, but fashion-wise, I get excited to try and style some of my favorite pieces again for cooler temps. When you think of color-blocking in 2022, many of us will think of bright and bold colors right away, but to speak to how circular trends are, I love how these neutr ..read more

Formally, the word 'Cirqa' comes from ‘circa’ which refers to its meaning with a certain moment or period in time. It is written with a 'Q' as in the city's name, Arequipa. We had the pleasure of lodging for one full day and one night at this wonderful property in the heart of this city. Staying at CIRQA a Relais & Châteaux hotel was such a treat as it is not just a chic place to rest but it is also a site with great historical significance. The hotel's architecture combines sillar stones that are unique to the formation of this city as it is also nicknamed, Arequipa - La Blanca C ..read more
