The cutest Huarache sandals one can wear – promise!

Hello everyone! I am totally aware that it is only mid February and many of us are freezing and dealing with snow. However, March is coming soon, Easter is early this year and if one thing will cheer you up it is cute shoes for the months ahead.

I actually found these late in 2020 and immediately fell in love. But had to keep on a bit because I thought that these Huaraches are not really something you buy in November or December. At least not if you live in the Northern Hemisphere…

But now it is time! And I know you will love them just as much as I do because they are the cutest Huarache sandals one can wear. For mums as well as mini me’s!

And Macarena’s shoes are not only fantastic and so beautifully boho, they are handmade in Mexico from 100% natural leather.

Let’s have a look and see why I think that these are the cutest Huarache sandals one can wear:

These beautiful shoes* can be worn with a dress as well as with a pair of jeans and you will always look unique and fashionable.

About huarache:

The huarache is part of the traditional Michoacán clothing. Which includes straw hats, embroidered blanket dresses, bandanas and monfarlans too. It is an authentic state full of traditions and crafts, of which the huaraches are part. They really stand out for being comfortable and perfect for all occasions. And to this day, Huarache artisans continue to use traditional techniques which have been used by their grandparents and their grandparents’ grandparents.

It is so hard to choose a favourite but I will share my top three:

The classic*. In tan and with laces to go up your ankle. So cute.

2. Embroidered*. Because I just love a good embroidery and they would make me so happy every time I’d wear them.

3. Gold*. I love a bit of gold during summer. Together with the colourful style, they are gorgeous.

Yes there are! Some of the designs also come in children sizes* so your little one can enjoy these lovely sandals as well. And that would definitely be a great mini & me look….

21jolly things for an awesome start into 2021!

Hi everyone. Now, I hope you are doing great. After the little bummer of being in lockdown over the holidays we just got the news that schools will not re-open next week either. It does not come as a huge surprise but resilience is written in B I G letters over my head now.

The days are short, cold and my motivation for another round of home schooling is more than low. I admit!

Still being positive and seeing the situation as a ‘it is what it is’ kind of thing I can feel my limits a bit more clear these days too.

So wherever you are, I really hope that you are ok and walking around with your chin up. I am sending you a virtual hug because we all need one.

Please enjoy some things, reads and finds to get into 2021 with a little skip… or tow:

30 incredible things for your November!

Yes! 30 incredible things I have for you. Things that have been waiting for you and that I am so happy to finally share.

This week I realised that the upcoming months may be not as easy and nonchalant as I hoped and wished they would be. Little Josephine will be home for an extra week because of a positive Covid case. And that really was the eye opener how quick things can change.

How quick we are housebound and have to change plans. And even so these plans were nothing spectacular seeing the circumstances, they still were something we were all looking forward to.

Now, lets keep the chin up and hope for the best and make the best out of every day. And pssst, I already included some gift ideas for the upcoming festive season. Enjoy!
