While Stephany, Ximena, and I were enjoying an afternoon cafe y postres (coffee and sweets) at the lovely San Antonio, I couldn't help but notice this woman. She is the epitome of relaxed, casual chic to me. She's one of the few people I've seen since I've been here that has style and dresses well. There aren't too many people worth stopping to take their photo as there is a lot of mass-production of what is popular so nothing too unique or attention-grabbing. I felt a bit paparazzi-esque snapping her photo, but as you can see, she probably didn't even notice. I love how she and the two men she's with are just simply enjoying finishing their red wine on a warm, sunny afternoon. This is Lima: laid back, relaxed, and all about Almuerzo (lunch).
Oh, and this chick is pretty cool too. Here's Stephany and her chill, retro style... before the pastries disappeared.
This woman is another one of the few I've seen walking around town with a chic, put together look. Her outfit conveys an older, more sophisticated and sensible style. Unfortunately, she refused to stop walking and pose for me after I politely asked so I just snapped a discreet paparazzi shot anyway. Couldn't help it- the navy and white ensemble with a touch of red, polka dots, and white espadrilles.
