ALEJANDRA QUESADA

It's been a while since I last blogged about Alejandra Quesada and her amazing collections! Last blog post was way back in 2010 which you can see HERE. Although the most recent collection on her website is  her Autumn Winter 2010 / 2011, every piece here I would wear today! It was hard picking my favorites because I was so drawn to how beautifully whimsical her editorial was. It takes me back to child-hood fairy tails and the world of Alice in Wonderland. Boy, would I love to fall into that rabbit hole full of wonderfully, colorful, and richly detailed clothes. As always, her cultural roots shines through with the  use of embroidery, definitely an ode to her home country of Mexico. Her love of vintage is proudly displayed as well, with the cutest pinafore checkered dress and that lovely burgundy cape; not to mention the loop rick-rack on the plaid a-line dress, swoon! With her use of trims, my list of adoration for her details would go on and on.......

Can I just say amazing, did you see those tights! What are your favorites?

FOR THE LOVE OF MEXICO: ALEJANDRA QUESADA

my friend Karen blogged about this wonderful designer, check out her post of favorites HERE..when i saw the images and it captured my heart..just as Karen stated her designs are true to herself and her Mexican roots..she lives in Mexico, produces her line there and brings her heritage alive through her clothes so well..i am of Honduran roots and i am very inspired by the weaving, ruffles, embroidery and ribbons that are part of the "typical clothing" of our country...this is why i love Alejandra Quesada's clothes because she incorporates it so well..

she also does the prints for the textile and embroidery in her lines..go check out her stuff here at alejandraquesada.com i'm sure your become a follower..
