" \n Catching a Glimmer of Modern Mexican Cool I was dining in Mexico City. It was my first time there. The restaurant was called Sabor Amor. There were so many lights, sparkly and beautiful, and I had the idea, &amp;quot;Why don&amp;#039;t I use crystals? But at the same time maintain that whole studded look.&amp;quot; Going from Costurera to Couture My mom taught me so much about perfection. If you make an error, undo it and re-do it until it comes out perfect. She owned a shop in East L.A. where she made very traditional wedding gowns. She put a lot of crystals into these gowns, a lot of details. They were very complex dresses. At the same time they looked effortless and easy. It was mainly client demands. She was just the costurera and did it all by herself. That was encouraging for me to see. But she can&amp;#039;t sew anymore because she has arthritis. I feel bad because I feel like she wants to sew but she can&amp;#039;t. I do not know what I&amp;#039;d do if that happened to me. On Chilanga Chic Mexico is very cosmopolitan. Mexico City is one of the largest cities in the world. People dress up so much. They love fashion\u2014especially the women who live in Polanco. Latin women love their heels. They&amp;#039;re born with heels. They wore crisp white shirts or blouses and beautiful, long skirts. They had their hair very &amp;#039;60s looking. They wore so much jewelry. It was absolutely stunning to see them. It&amp;#039;s very much like being on the Upper East Side. I tried to bring some of those old school silhouettes\u2014ya&amp;#039; know, those mermaid, cha-cha dresses\u2014I brought a little of that element, but cut it differently so that it looks more modern and sophisticated. Rock a Look with What You Have Getting dressed all depends on the occasion and where you&amp;#039;re going. I try to mimic those looks from the runway or a look book with what I have in my house. It might not be label. It might not be the brand. Or try to identify a person that is you and do their look with what you have. You don&amp;#039;t have to shop around to be super- stylish. You can always research and resource whatever you have lying around. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
