Cielito Lindo


"Beautiful little sky: From you we came and to you we return." 
Pic from inside the eatery "Cielito Lindo" on Olvera St., Los Angeles, CA.


As a little girl I loved when my grandparents would bring me to Olvera St. in Los Angeles. I had never lived in Mexico, so it was always an exciting experience. I loved eating the sweet Mexican milk candy and going in this candle shop. The street holds a lot more for me than just a thing to do in L.A. My grandpa used to play guitar with his trio at the restaurants on this street. Many that remain today. 

dress, flats- H&M (I went retail for day one of the conference)
headband- I made it from a necklace.
Aww look at me before I got preggo. Wearing the same accessory combo haha.


I wish for more taquitos. Cielito Lindo has the best taquitos, smothered in a green salsa. I get them with beans and cheese. I ate them too fast to take a picture. whoops. Instead, enjoy this inedible wishing well.

  4. I love Olvera St. too! Funny thing, the store you're standing in front of was actually my favorite one. Loved the mint on you and I can't believe you diy'ed your headband (you're such a creative lady)! Great meeting you this weekend! K.I.T

    Best,

  8. I love Olvera Street, but my family frequents Juanita's. It is so cool how each family remains loyal to only one restaurant. Speaking of Olvera makes me want taquitos and champurado.
