Vintage nightgowns and a carnaval.

This post was meant to be put up yesterday but the internet at the office wasn't working.

This weekend was the famous carnaval in La Ceiba, done once a year in May. It's a great opportunity to go shopping and find cute stuff for cheap. Ohhh and good food, I'm a fan of that one. Tons of tourists and tons of skimpy bikinis.







After 10pm it's more for the loud crowd and dancers and drunkies.


I know I should have more interesting pics because it IS that one day where you can wear anything and DO anything but I was more focused on my sweet batidos and fried plaintains than photography. Sorry!!

Parking space? Nowhere to be seen. Night Traffic? We had to get out of the car a couple times and make friends with people.



And at the fair, I got this t-shirt of "El Chapulin Colorado". An old but the neatest mexican show ever!

(My dad claims Im ruining my little sister. And he said that because she now wears hightops and layers dresses. woooo)

And here is my very first dress. I know, I know, it does resemble a curtain but the dress has alot more detail in real life. Braided straps, button closures on the front. It was my firstee, so I went with the simplest.

Fabric? Hehehe only 10 lempiras ($0.50) the YARD.
Today I finally wore this shrug (Is that what they're called?) I forgot I had made looong time ago. Super easy to make and super comfy, check it out.

I love the girls at my sewing school. They are really funny and almost fainted when I brought my Harper's Bazaar mag and noticed a Burberry Prorsum dress for over $2,000.00. I was just bummed that I had to pay almost 200 lempiras for the magazine. Hehe. They only sell them (and Teen Vogues) in one place here. Guilty pleasure. I believe the dress was this baby.

And now, everyone is more excited about sewing. They've decided to jump in my dreamwagon, too.
