Vibrant Seasons

I have a hard time transitioning from one season to the other.  My struggles are related to the fact that I grew up in a Caribbean island, where seasonal changes are not as evident.  When I moved to New York City, a few years ago, I found myself dreading the idea of covering myself head to toe to go outside. Not only that, the favored colors in this city for the fall season where black, gray, burgundies, and browns.   I felt constrained, limited, tight, dark... I grew up in the tropical island of Puerto Rico, where we speak colorful EVERYTHING, sandals, clothing, flowers, birds, music, food... Everything has a special seasoning, rhythm, and color to it.  I still dread the idea of fall and winter time, and I still have the occasional blues, however, the last few runway seasons have brought with them an explosion of rich hues for the fall and winter time, including deep and royal purples, emeralds, rubies, and blues.  This season is no exception, and just wearing these deep and bright hues makes me smile instantly and envision myself walking freely through the sandy, humid, bright, and colorful venues of my one and only San Juan, Puerto Rico.  

This is my first blog, and with it I want to welcome the fall and all of YOU guys!  This fashion story took place in the Upper East Side, and none other than my best friend, Melissa Bernier, took these beautiful pics.  More details on where to get the pieces of clothing from this shoot at the bottom.  

Peace & causal models my fashionable friends!
