Recently we were in Valladolid, one of our favourite local escapes. While there I picked up this cute blouse. It was hand embroidered by one of the women in the local co-operative.  It has a striking resemblance to this blouse I saw on Shop Latitude.  The big difference is I paid $150mxp ($12.50usd) for mine.  Valladolid is also a great place to pick up hand made leather sandals.

I have two pairs that I bought last year (note the wear) one from the factory (on the right) and one not. They are made of “real cow leather” according to the nice shoemaker that sold them to me. Now that I know where they make them, I will always go there.  The second pair cost me $130mxp ($11usd) and they are so cute, cool and comfy.
