Closing Q1 with a series of extraordinary events, a busy start to the year, one must say. Last weekend ETERO, Auberge Resorts Collection hosted Zii Ropa and Odissea for a weekend where both brands showcased their newest pieces. Among odissea’s were our one of a kind shell pendants and our newest multicolored bead chokers, summer perfect!
Sharing our upbringing in Mexico City, Alejandro and I fostered our relationship back in 2012. We were both living in New York at the time. I was just about to start my studies at Parsons where he was finishing his career. We grew up in the same community, went to the same school and regardless of the age gap, we happened to share many friends, who along the years, still keep close. It’s funny how in life we experience “cycles” - that's what we recently conversed in during my latest trip to Miami.
Summer Force is an illustrated poem by writer and brand specialist Emma Renaudin for Odissea. With each Odissea order, you will receive a postcard featuring the “Summer Force” poem and picture, to share with someone special or to cherish as a memento of these summer memories.

Read MoreSometimes when in search of answers we fall into an introspective mode, where the simplest of things come to highlight how life is so easy and simple yet our surroundings and everyday activities tend to sometimes disconnect us from the truth of who we are, as humans and what we came to in our life time. La Baja was among one of my favorite trips so far.
