A Beber Y A Tragar, Que El Mundo Se Va A Acabar

Mexican[source]

Juanes had me at “La Camisa Negra,” the Border Cafe in Harvard Square had me at homemade tortilla chips. Mexican-influenced clothing? It had me at being loose, comfortable, and exquisite. For the record, I am engaged in a long-term love affair with many aspects of Hispanic culture: language, food, people, and clothing. And summertime has me thinking about loose and breezy style. So what better way to actively channel my obsession into day to day life? I will throw on an embroidered peasant top, jam to Juanes loudly in the car, improve my now extremely proficient Spanish, and enjoy a veggie burrito from Ana’s Taqueria. iHasta luego!

Come To The Festival Of Colours

Festival Fashion.

Ah Woodstock, what I wouldn’t give to have been in attendance during that ’69 summer of love. Today’s closest comparisons would have to be the various outdoor music festivals held in several locales each year: Coachella, Bonnaroo, Glastonbury, Earthfest, Burning Man, All Points West, etc.  These events draw music fans of mortal ranks and celebrities alike.  No matter who they are, the temperatures and the fashion stakes are high.  I love looking through galleries of festival ensembles, since the results are always creative.

All white to an outdoor festival? Risky! But very cute.
