Viva Mexico!

I have always loved everything Mexican. From my first trip there as a fifth grader to Hualtulco, Club Med with mi familia I was hooked. I loved Club Med and our trips out of the resort to look at the landscape and experience the real culture. I remember the silver and turquoise everywhere, and the bold colors that covered everything from buildings to pottery.

I have been back numerous times, not to mention every college spring break to Cabo San Lucas and Acapulco. I love the people, the art, the colors, the weather, and especially the food! Everytime I walk into a mexican restaurant I admire the funky decor and vibrant colors and enjoy hearing the Mexican accent from the waitstaff, call me crazy.

I've compiled a few of my favorite images I found today while browsing through Mexican culture...First, Frida Kahlo, LOVE! I did my junior thesis on Frida and always kept her art on display...

so cool! I could go on and on but I won't bore you.

Next I went on Etsy to find some Mexican-inspired handmade goodies...

The above by Sandisshellscapes is my favorite hand-made piece on Etsy. It isn't labeled as Mexican but it 'shorely' reminds me of the culture.

how cool is this Frida shrine by Lachusma
