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!
