LOOKS Travel Diaries

Banana Leaf Print

Hi, guys, I’m writing this post  from my beautiful Panama. Yes, I’m back to my pretty hot Latin roots. I’m sure some of you have already noticed on my IG stories that I been here since 2 weeks ago.

Robert and I had some free time before starting another project in Africa so we both took this opportunity to visit our countries and runs some errands. For me I have to take care of lots of paperwork that I never did when I left to Africa November of last year, so it’s been waiting for me all this time. (lol I’m not very good with documents hehe)

I have to say that being back feels good. These past five months have changed me as a person and as a woman. I feel a more mature woman, happier, and incredibly grateful to life. It is amazing how traveling changes you as a person and how you learn to value things more even though if they are simple things that fill your life with much happiness.

I mean don’t get me wrong, being on safari, hanging out with the Massai community, exploring the most paradisiacal beaches in the world sounds incredible, but something that I was really hoping on my arrival was to hang out with my family and friends since I really miss them to death. I also wanted to do simple activities that I couldn’t do all this time in Africa for example: go for dinner with your besties, partying, going to the movies, go shopping, trying new restaurants, going to events, etc …

Going to events was something I was looking forward not only because as a girl it is fun to dress up but I also enjoy seeing familiar faces and networking is always good. I have to thank all of you who have seen me down the street or the mall and approached me to say beautiful comments about my IG page and blog. Honestly hearing all the comments from all of you is what keeps going and motivated to continue inspiring and creating content for all of you.

After been back this was the perfect opportunity to take pictures with my dear photographer friend  Gonx Barrios. This look we did in the afternoon and is one of my favorite looks lately from@showmeyourmumu. Show me your mumu is a brand of clothing for those girls with a carefree adventurous soul. They have so many beautiful things that I would love to invite you to explore their page. They just launched their new summer collection and it is absolutely stunning.

As you all know I am a beach lover and everything that involves tropical paradise. This two-piece outfit not only screamed my name lol but for starters, I love the print of the banana leaves and the design of the top with the detail of the choker that’s a new trend lately. As for the skirt not only the length is perfect but I also love the opening of the leg which makes it the perfect tropical vibe. What are your thoughts about this look?

    The MaraYu banana leaf print is a fun and stylish way to show your support for the banana! The print is made of high quality, sustainableprinted paper and has a comfortable fit.

    I love Shoe Me Your Mumu. I remember seeing this look on your Instagram .The print of this set is beautiful and the high split gives uniqueness to this look. I had no idea you were from Panama! That is so cool. Traveling is an amazing thing, but home will always be home and it is always nice going back and catching up with everyone! Glad you had fun!

    So lucky to go back to Panama for a few days! I hope you will be showing us some more of the surroundings via Instagram stories :). And I’d have to agree, traveling changes us, and going to Africa it has to be such an unique experience which can totally make us see things different :). As for your outfit, I adore the cute print on your twin set! It looks so lovely and summer perfect. Wishing you a lovely day! xx

    I absolutely love this look soooo much!!! It makes me want to get a tropical dress asap! Also, it’s so nice to read your thoughts! Traveling can definitely open your eyes to the world, and help you find yourself! I think that’s why a lot of people are passionate about it. I wish I can travel a lot more than I do! Hopefully some day 🙂

    With love, Jenn

    I am seriously obsessed with this gorgeous dress from Show Me Your Mumu. the print, the cut and the flow…everything is perfect!! I totally understand how difficult it is being on the road all the time and coming home to a ton of unfinished business. Take your time, unplug and just recharge for your new upcoming adventure in Africa!!

    Panama! You must be having a lovely time! I feel you on paperwork! I don’t mind it when I actually do it but it’s having to stop procrastinating and actually do it that gets me. I don’t get the opportunity to travel but a couple times a year since I have little ones but I can imagine that is so enriching to your soul to experience people and places outside of your comfort zone! Your photographer did such a wonderful job! I really adore this Show Me Your MuMu look. What a perfect summer look and I also adore the wedges you paired with it!

    This print is so in right now and you look so good in it. Makes me want to go somewhere tropical. I can’t wait to see what you and Robert have planned in Africa. If you ever have any extra room I’d love to come a long. I need to learn from you two. I’m the same way with loving tropical and paradise places. I love the heat too so anywhere warm, I’m always down to go.

Also, your outfit is so cute and perfect for such place. I’ve been seeing a lot of banana leaf prints everywhere but this one particular is super cute, specially the skirt.

    You’re so lucky to have the opportunity to give back and experience a completely different culture. Can’t wait to hear more about your experience. Loving this dress on you – gives me major summer envy. It’s still so cold here in NYC. And girl, you had me at Sophia Webster. She’s one of my all time fave shoe designers!

    I love watching your travels, it makes me so happy and jealous haha, specially warm places. Africa sounds so cool but also so challenging! I am scared to go there but my husband loved it. Love your outfit and saw it on ig! So gorgeous

    So from one paradise to another… I loved reading your posts from Africa and they weren’t just “hey, I’m on a safari” posts, but really got in depth into what the culture was like and how your experiences shaped and changed you as a woman. I can’t even imagine all the paperwork after 5 months as I’m sitting here with a week’s worth of paperwork and emails and am feeling like I’m drowning, haha.

    Wow, Marcy, que increible el poder viajar y descubrir lugares tan paradisiacos y muchas veces desconocidos. Sin duda, el viajar ilustra y te llena de memorias inolvidables. Que bueno debe ser estar de regreso despues de tanto tiempo, sin duda tendras mucho que contar a tu familia y amigos.
    Hablando de tu look, me encanta el vestido, es muy lindo y con un estampado perfecto para la temporada primavera-verano. Es sexy y muy chic a la vez, el corte esta increible.

    Un beso,
    Vanessa

    I agree, it is so great to get to visit friends and family and just hang out for a while. It’s always nice. I didn’t know you’re from the Panama? That’s really cool. You look incredible here, love your tan and this banana leave print is perfect on you. I love Show Me Your Miu Miu too, super cute pieces from them. This one with the slit in the dress is no exception. You look like a tropical princess babe. Enjoy your stay and the upcoming travel!

I am not usually one for prints for myself but I totally want this look! You styled it perfectly with these wedges too. Love the flowiness of the skirt and the slit to show off some leg. xoxo, Christine

    I couldn’t help to notice that the banana leaf prints are so in now! All the girls started to banana leave printed dresses and Bikinis. Those prints are great for resort and beach vibe! I’m on the hunt for one as well, till I saw your one! Gosh love the cutting and everything! Great pick girl!
