Fashion photographer Nicole Bentley recently shot one of the most gorgeous spreads I have ever seen for the March issue of Vogue Australia. Entitled “Viva La Revolution,” this vibrant ten page spread took place down in Mexico and featured model Alina Baikova. I love everything about this! In fact, I couldn’t leave out a single page. Viva la revolution!

It’s a bit cold and dreary here in the bay, so I thought it would be the perfect day to share this bright and beautiful Doors and Gates series by photographer Donna Cleveland. These photos were taken in colorful San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, a gorgeous vacation destination I’ll be dreaming of all day.

One of my favorite color-happy brands out there, Kate Spade, has recently launched a new tumblr blog that I’m loving! I was super excited to see these colorful images of Mexico that were posted a short time ago. It’s been a stormy week here in the Bay Area so these bright images are making it feel just a little warmer in here.

Last week, LAMA blog reader Lai-Mai, pointed me over to designer Alexandra Grecco’s blog coverage of her vacation to Mexico. Starring at all of her stunning photos through her incredible ten part series, I am so grateful she did! I’ve chosen some of my favorite photos to share with you but I highly recommend heading over to her blog to check out the rest!

Based in Queretaro, Mexico, Geninne Zlatkis has been one of my favorite artists for several years. I was fortunate enough (and SO honored) to have her create these prints for the LAMA shop, and it’s been really exciting to see her career evolve in the time since. Recently Geninne moved into her new home designed by her equally as talented husband.

If you’ve never checked out Geninne’s art blog, you’re in for a treat. I can’t stress enough how wonderfully talented she is!

Thanks to Kireei for the photos!

On Thursday I’ll be heading out to beautiful Seattle, WA to watch my big brother get married. I am beyond excited! With that in mind this morning, I wanted to share this incredibly festive wedding I came across recently via Snippet & Ink. Wed in a 400 year old hacienda in Guadalajara, Mexico, I just adore the bride and groom’s sense of style, adventure, and humor. I can’t get over the stunning colors! I must say, one of my favorite details about this wedding were the bottles of tequila at each table. Rather than the traditional champagne toast, the guests enjoyed tequila shots with the bride and groom. These beautiful photos below definitely have me dreaming of a destination wedding.

Andrea Posada is a multitalented Colombian artist who’s incredible technique can be seen in her illustrative work as well as her photography. Initially I was drawn to Andrea’s bright and imaginative illustration’s, but upon discovering her photography, I can’t decide which I love more! I don’t normally do this, but I absolutely have to post on both. First up is Andrea’s inspired photography shot across Mexico, Bolivia, Peru, Venezuela, Argentina, and Colombia. The colors and layouts of her shots are simply breathtaking.

I’ve been a long time fan and admirer of the work of Casa Midy founders Jorge Almanda and Anne-Marie Midy. Their objective of “combining contemporary design with traditional artisan methods of manufacture,” has created a large range of beautiful furniture and home accessory pieces. Beyond that, I love the interior design work they have done all over the world. Their work is a stunning example of  the evolution of traditional artisan work into the modern world. I hope to be able to visit their incredible showroom located in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico someday.

While looking for some wedding inspiration on photographer Jill Thomas’ website, I came across her collection of gorgeous photos she took on a recent trip to Mexico. Jill’s ability to capture moods through her wedding and lifestyle photography is nothing short of impressive. I love the sense of family, life, and love that come across so strongly in her Mexico series. It’s refreshing to see this take on small town Mexico. Enjoy the dreamy images below!

Anyone who knows me knows I love dresses. In fact, you can check out a selection of some of my favorite dresses right here. I don’t get to wear them as often as I would like, but I certainly seize the opportunity when I do get the chance. I just love how feminine and pretty I feel in a great dress! I was so excited to recently stumble upon these gorgeous Mexican dresses by Aida Coronado that are “full of tradition, culture, love and emotion.” Handmade in Mexico, Aida likes to say that there is “a heart in every piece.” I like to say, I heart every piece.
