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…
Looks like you had a great time! And I love the bracelet, I got one from Lucky FABB, did you!?
I did get it from Lucky FABB!
Yeah, these pictures are pretty much postcard perfect! Also, what happened to Disqus?
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.
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?
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…
Well 1/4 of the people ended up with food poisoning… from eating at the resort :P
ahhh, can I please be THERE! Beautiful shots…you have some killer jewelry lately lady..saw that spiked ring from a few posts ago…amazing and now these gold bands…LOVE!
Hope you are well.

This is why I wouldn’t mind going on a destination wedding! Love the scenery!!
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.
Please take me to Mexico next time! ;)
Wow, gorgeous. I bet the sky is just aglow with stars at night as well, isn’t it? Ah, paradise …
That sky, that water
I so wish I was there right now

haha, seriously, no water around here could ever, ever look as gorgeous as that!
love the pink added to the leopard print!
Before I got there I thought all those photos were edited to attract tourists, haha.
