Fittings fittings fittings!

This week has mainly been for fittings fashion week, so for the next 5 days we will spend most of our time out in Santa Fe, which is where fashion week is held. It's about 1,5 hrs drive from where we live and its a really affluent area, very beautiful. I will get some pictures to show you guys! Fashion week goes on until Thursday and on Friday morning I am going to Acapulco for three days for a job. I always wanted to go there so I'm super pleased :-)
The pictures below are not mine but its just to show what it looks like in Acapulco, pretty nice I must say!
Today is my only day off until next Sunday probably but will be an exciting week with lots of shows and some stunning designer clothes!

Pyramid adventure!

Last week, me and the girls went to see the pyramids here in Mexico. When we arrived we didn't realize how big the area was, it was huge! We spent most of our day there, walking around the sites and ultimately got pretty sunburned! I did not know much about the the pyramids and why they were built but they were not tombs but used as a sacrifice grounds.
Their "victims" were buierid alive! Arkeologists have found remains of birds of prey, and also other preditors, also buired alive.
There were two main Pyramides, the pyramid of the sun and the Pyramid of the moon. We only managed to climb the pyramid of the moon(the smallest one) mainly because the que to get up there was huge and also because we were all very tired, hot and also lazy hehe! Even thou we climbed the smallest Pyramid we were shattered when we got up there, steep stairs combined with 30 degree heat is a killer! When we got to the top we amused the other tourists by doing a crazy dance on top of the pyramid, we have it all on video so I will post the final edits later on :-)
Here are some pics from our little adventure.

Just some random craziness in the flat

Even thou we live 6 girls in the apartment there is always time for some random craziness.
Here is Maria aka the crazy Russian dancing on top of poor Cande who is trying to do some situps! Have to say I love these girls to bits, they always keep me entertained :-)

I've noticed that the first few pictures are super tiny

So I'm just re posting them now :-)

Shooting for Fernanda magazine

Today I'm shooting for Fernanda magazine.
The look is very Japanese inspired and the stylist has got some fantastic kimono dresses. The team was fantastic, everyone were so talented and super lovely so it was a great day shooting. The shoot was also really quick, only took us a few hours to shoot 5 looks, super team, super speed :-)
When I'm finish I have to rush of to a casting for Vouge and then its time for fittings for fashion week, which starts next week. No rest for the wicked :-)

The girls are loco!!!

On Saturday me and Madelene, another Swede, went to have some brunch in a beautiful cafe close to our agency. The weather wasn't the best, humid and pretty grey(with the sun peeking out now and then)
It was a really nice and relaxing day, just chilling and just having some girly chit chat.
But when we came home, the other girls, the crazy Argentinian and Russian presented us with something they bought at the market,
Fried spicy grasshoppers urrrrgh!!!
I've taken a picture of them, not nice, and people here eat them, so strange!! But the girls are saying we have to try them too, not sure my stomach can coop with that :-S
I will let you guys now if I do it and how disgusting it was!

Sears show

This week I did a show for Sears. The show was not held in Mexico DF(Mexico city) but in a town called morielia which is located about 5hrs drive from Mexico Df. Me and Madeleine, my super lovely Swedish roomie and friend had to.get up at 3 in the morning to get to where the bus was leaving to take us to Morelia, talk about early call time! Luckily the bus was pretty comfy so we managed to sleep on the way there. Before leaving we checked the weather and the reports said it would be about 29-30 degrees so we only packed summer clothes, but when we arrived it was freezing! Everyone else travelled in jeans and jumpers so we felt a little bit stupid as we travelled pretty light. Luckily at around midday the temp had risen to late 20s so we were probably the only ones actually dressed for it :-)
We did some rehearsals, we were about 35 models both girls and boys so quite a big show.
After rehearsals we had to go to hair and make up and then had a little break.
I took some pics from our tent were we all got ready and some images from Morelia, I will post some of them as well.
I had some really lovely outfits although my first shoes were way too small and really hard to walk in! My second pair were super high (that's the shoes my beautiful friend madelene is wearing in the pic, they were huge and she's not a giant LOL)
The show went well and it was a lot of fun. As soon as I get hold of the catwalk images I will post them here, but for now Ciao :-)
