Americana

I know I said I wasn’t into theme dressing, but this t-shirt I found at Ross was too cool to pass up. So I took to my closet, found the worst ripped jeans I had and cut them short. It was no easy feat since they were so ripped, they’re literally hanging by a thread! … More Americana

Nothing beats swaying palm trees … More A day in the Park

Caribbean Art Deco

One of my favorite buildings is in the Downtown San Juan district known as Santurce. This building was built in 1947 as the center for Comunications in Puerto Rico.
