Keeping up with tradition

The thing I loved most about Mexico besides the beautiful white sandy beaches and inexpensive silver was the traditional values the country had, especially the state of Yucatan. I bought this hand embroidered cotton top from a local market and choosing which one I was going to buy was the hardest decision, all the native Mayan women’s work are incredibly beautiful and detailed. I bought the one I am wearing in the photos and a white linen top from the main town in the Yucatan, Merida.

Local Market - Embroidered Top & Silver Navajo hand made cuff

Topshop - Shorts & Belt

Opening Ceremony - Wedges

Merida, Yucatan 'the land of the miniture'

Topshop - Jacket & Sandles

Henry Holland at Debenhams - Shorts

Rayban - Sunglasses

So these are a few photos I took in the beautiful town of Merida right in the heart of the Yucatan in Mexico. Walking through the colourful streets painted with traditional decor, I was literally the tallest person there as most people that live in this area are from Mayan ancestry and came no taller than shoulders height on me. This is one of my favorite towns, I took a lot of photos of walls and doors, and the layering of paint looks quite incredible to us, but probably not to the locals.
