Caribbean Flow

Hi loves,

When I lived in NYC I treasured every ounce of the summer time because the season was short-lived!    And then the fall and winter blues quickly settled in.  Now that I am back home in Puerto Rico, I am grateful to have an eternal summer season.  Fashion wise, that means that I can wear flowy, breezy, light, colorful, and rich textiles all year long.  Lately, I am into off-shoulder bohemian tops and dresses.  I find the off-shoulder trend subtly sexy, and it complements nicely one of my favorite body parts, my collarbone and shoulders.  What I also love about these relaxed and flowing pieces is that  they are absolutely comfortable and perfect for very warm weather.  If you are the one that loves showing off your shoulders, then this trend is for you.  If you are not sure, try it!

Here I lea you with some tasseled, bright, and Talavera tiles-inspired pieces that I am sure will inspire you to update your summer wardrobe!  Enjoy!

Fruit Punch!

Hi loves, 

Warning!  You will get hungry after seeing the pictures in this post.  I have been living in Puerto Rico a little bit over a month now, and I have tasted an assortment of delicious tropical fruits.  I grew up eating most of the fruits I will be sharing with you, and I recently added Ketambillas, a very sour fruit similar in appearance to a grape, and similar in taste to gooseberry.  Actually, ketambillas are from the gooseberry family.  I am not sure if they are a super fruit, but certainly it should be added as one.  I blended and strained mine into a delicious juice recently!  In another post I will share the recipe.

These tasteful tropical gems have also inspired some of my recent summer outfits.  I am so happy that fruit prints are still a trend.  I probably would still wear it even if they weren't trendy  Fruit prints make me really really happy, and they are always a sweet conversation piece! 

I hope you enjoy!
