Happy Cinco de Mayo, my friends! It seems fitting after my most recent posts about my first trip to the beautiful country. Nothing like 100% cotton peasant tops (from my middle school favorite, American Eagle), a great set of wedges, and a new pair of polka dots Nikes. I went a little crazy with my…
