The beautiful ruins of Casco Viejo

This is what I wore for a lovely afternoon in a historic area of Panama called Casco Viejo. I wanted to wear something different and daring today, so I went with this boho hair accessory. At first I didn't think I would be able to pull it off, but I actually love how it looks!

We had lunch in a delicious restaurant called Mostaza. I've always loved the warm decor of the restaurant with stone walls and Moroccan lamps. Not to mention that the food is delicious!

After happily filling our bellies, we decided to take a short walk around the nearby ruins. Aren't they just pretty?

My sister was also looking very stylish today! I am totally in love with her new neon pumps!

The lighting in them is so so pretty, and the color of the brick just works flawlessly with your outfit and your skintone and everything and I really can't just stop freaking out/staring at them. Such soft, lovely colors! Eeeep! How about a few more exclaimation marks just becuause? Okay !!!! !!!! okay there. :)

    Phew! That was fun.

    But really, these are lovely pictures. Your photography never ceases to amaze me. The ruins are gorgeous, and you definitely did them justice with your photos. I'm glad you got to see them and have such a nice day!

  7. I love how you styled the hair accessory. I would have never thought it could be worn without looking like part of a costume. And I am so glad the monthly review pictures from 2012 are over and we see new outfit pictures (I never miss a post of yours, the review pictures were a bit boring for me). Your sister is looking awesome. Love the pop of colours via the bag and shoes.

  36. With all of the confidence that you exude and the fashion risks that you take I can't believe you were unsure if you could pull this accessory off.  I agree that it is a daring and different - but like everything else, you pulled it off beautifully.  The second photo absolutely looks like it belongs in a fashion magazine.

  43. Daring in fact! 
    The headpiece is the key and you're a brave girl. I wouldn't have courage to use it in a "normal" day, but I thing I could use something similar in a medieval fair or a themed party.
    I really love the second photo. You look lovely and the light is perfect to enhance the make up and your skintone.

  44. These photos are gorgeous. I am officially jealous of your life. Can you adopt me or your family, even though I am past the age of adoption. LOL. I love your photos, such high quality as usual. Sorry I haven't commented in a while. You know how life gets sometimes. I love this dress, omg I want it now. If I could get my hand through the computer screen and get it straight from forever 21 that would be awesome. To bad life and shopping don't work that way. Darn. I love these ruins. Panama is so beautiful. Its so in my top list to visit, once I start my career, as a college students budget doesn't have much time for traveling. By the way I love what you ordered at the restaurant delicious.
