About 5 de Mayo

Hi everyone! How was your weekend, did you celebrated the 5 de Mayo?

Well this post is about it, as a mexican I have to say that I've never celebrated this holiday, it is indeed a very special day on Mexico, because 150 years ago we won a big battle against France and it helped to build our nation identity, but we don't have big parties about it, maybe because the big mexican party is on September 16th, when we celebrate our independence day, anyway I enjoy seeing how this holiday has become so important in US and other places, and I loved to see how you celebrate it! :D

And because of this I'm showing you my mexican pride, this time on the fashion field, with some cool mexican inspired fashion and accessories and with an overview of my favorite mexican fashion designers, enjoy and Viva Mexico!
