A side trip to Tulum involving Mayan ruins and aquamarine ocean that must be part of some secret blanket Photoshop program that affects everyone within a mile of the coast. Clearly no water can actually be that color.
Photos and thoughts on fashion, beauty, tech + city living.

Welcome to Letters from the City, a lifestyle photoblog.
My name is Alex and I have been blogging in some form or another since 1998. I’m a former Manhattanite now living the quieter life in Brooklyn. I like outerwear and red lipstick.
When I was younger, I was let loose in a GAP Kids one too many times, resulting in many of the fashion choices you see here in my photos. I also read, traveled, and took cooking and art classes. Art eventually led me around to photography, and to this day I do enjoy a good brunch.
Thank you for visiting! I hope you'll stay a while and get to know me. Learn More →

Ah, beautiful! I’ve never been that far south (only to Sonora) but my dad was saying a while back that we should all go to Oaxaca someday and do a family reunion. I should ask him if he’s still interested…
Erin says
Looks like you had a great time! And I love the bracelet, I got one from Lucky FABB, did you!?
Alex says
I did get it from Lucky FABB!
Nnenna says
Yeah, these pictures are pretty much postcard perfect! Also, what happened to Disqus?
Alex says
Disqus was making me angry because it never worked :P
Are you getting these replies in your email? I have no idea if this plugin is working or not. Ugh.
Nnenna says
Yes, I did get an email reply. I got an email reply last time too and I think I replied back to the email, but maybe you didn’t get it?
Alex says
Thanks! Well it’s like half working then? haha.

WOW! These are amazing photos, Alex. I told myself I would never want to visit Mexico again (bad experience) but maybe if I went to that part, I’d reconsider…
Alex says
Well 1/4 of the people ended up with food poisoning… from eating at the resort :P

Christine says
Whoa! Those are great photos! I’ve only been to Mexico once for a few hours while on a cruise and I wish I was able to go see some of the ancient ruins.
Star-crossed smile says
Please take me to Mexico next time! ;)

Before I got there I thought all those photos were edited to attract tourists, haha.
