Oxblood + Velvet

The winter season in Tucson is such a special thing, the days are overcast and the air is crisp, (but not frozen over), and the spirit of a desert Christmas weighs heavy around the corner. On one of these beautiful winter afternoons, Puspa and I wandered around the original adobe barrios of downtown Tucson, I in my vintage 1970s oxblood and velvet suit of course! I just couldn't wait for the cool winter days in the desert to come, so I could wear this suit I had been so anxiously awaiting to, and on this day I did- enough said. Wishing you, my lovely readers a happy holiday season, from the old pueblo. Many blessings and peace for the new year to come! xo

Yes, I own a pair of Nike kicks. Navajo print ones that is.

Though winter is well on it’s way out, there might still be a chance for me to share these shots with you before they miss the bus!

These looks were shot a few months back on a chilly December day in Arizona (imagine that?). Stacia Lugo (friend + photographer) and I walked off a delicious lunch around the downtown streets of Tucson, and decided to grab some snaps of my casual chic ensemble. Well... really the highlight of my look was these dope Navajo print Nike kicks, my hubs picked up for me back in September of last year. They finally had a chance in a proper photograph, how very desert proper they are.
