Skagway

Speeding with White Pass and Yukon Route, Skagway Alaska. This impossible railway is an International Historic Civil Engineering Landmark. WP&YR is Alaska's most popular shore excursion, climbs to almost 3000 feet and the steel cantilever bridge was the tallest of its kind in the world! I was super lucky to have seen the beautiful scenery of White Pass Route. Climbing up the mountains, entering tunnels, crossing bridges and freezing outside while taking photos was another unforgettable experience!

















Wearing Mango coat, Burberry coat, mom's vintage leather skirt (under), Cotton On sunglasses, Chanel backpack. That white coat was my all time fave during my Alaska tour, hehe. You know, I really wish to go back here during Winter. I want to see the landscapes all covered with snow! I bet White Pass Route scenery on Winter is 100,000 times beautiful!!! Again, I'm sorry for the super late posting of my US trips, hehe. Have a great week!

Niagara

The Niagara waterfalls is by far the most powerful scenery I have ever seen in my life! It is considered as the largest and most visited waterfalls in North America. Its wild beauty is totally incomparable! Riding the world's famous Maid of the Mist was such an exciting experience to get a better feel of the Canadian and American side falls. Hearing and feeling the water rush right in front of your eyes was unforgettable!








I still dream of coming back to that very moment. It was indeed an inspiring thrill of a lifetime! Flying from New York to Buffalo, touring Niagara for a day and getting all wet (including my camera) while capturing unusual perspective was so worth it, hehe! And yes, that's me pairing a Maid of the Mist uniform with a lucite Mango sunglasses, together with my beautiful engagement ring and with an equally beautiful backdrop!

Mrs. Prieto

Surprise! Yes, I'm back and I'm married! My boyfriend of thirteen years and I had our civil wedding last month, February 22. We decided to have our civil wedding on the very same date of our church wedding (2.22.14) next year. Our civil wedding was very intimate, celebrated only with our dearest family. Imagine a place decorated with white balloons, white candles and white flowers. It was the perfect simple and quirky civil wedding I've always wanted. It definitely defines our style!







I love our gold wedding rings from Miladay. It matches my gold engagement ring (Miladay also) with a perfect round diamond only. Very classy and timeless when worn together, so beautiful! By the way, these photos were taken by my sister, Vianca Soleil. She designed the civil wedding, from picking my modern cabbage flower, to choosing color schemes and everything. I'm really thankful for having a very supportive family. And most importantly, for having a loving, caring and understanding husband, John Carlos Prieto. I feel so happy and blessed every single day! So now that our simple x quirky civil wedding is done, victorian x modern church wedding, NEXT!!!

Dam

These photos were taken during my visit at the world's largest dam, the Hoover Dam. Dearest brother drove from L.A. to Vegas and then all the way to Nevada just to let me see this incredible incredible structure! You know me, I super duper adore mega structures and inspring landscapes just like this! Enjoy the photos!














Wearing my favorite thrifted parka as top, favorite Limited velvet skirt, Superga sneakers (laces tied around ankles), hand painted wood floral clip from Russia, Versace sunglasses, Rado watch, Omega necklace, Chanel mini. The last shot is my fave photo taken by dearest mom who is ever supportive of my blog. I like the resemblance of the arch hoody to the concrete arch-gravity Boulder Dam, beautiful! Excuse the late posting from my last year trip. Promise I'll share more soon! Have a great week!

Embracing simplicity. Embracing life's simple pleasures. Happy new year, happy new me!
