Nerds of Style: Moda Resort 2015

Hi loves,

I have been out of commission for a while due to Christmas festivities and a cold that just got hold of me. Since I am bedridden, I decided to entertain myself by writing a post on resort looks for this transition period between January and March. For those of you who are traveling to warmer zones during winter time, in this three-installment spread I will showcase some easy, light, airy, and vibrant pieces you can wear. For those you staying in cold zones, at least this post will keep you warm with all the colorful hues, and the sunny backgrounds!

Even though there are different types of resort collections, and not all are catered to tropical desires, nothing screams more resort in my mind, than the luxurious, yet relaxed feel of the tropical land of Puerto Rico. For this three-part series, I decided to highlight my Latina heritage, and all the richness of our Latin American cultures. From embroidered huipil dresses, to handmade clutches, to leaves print, to maritime stripes, to gold accents, all is an ode to the majestic and regal, yet humble and friendly feel of our Latin American cultures.

To complement the looks shown here, I will be including pictures of some historic sites in the Old San Juan. Today, San Juan is known as "La Ciudad Amurallada" (the walled city) and is one of the biggest and best natural harbors in the Caribbean and is the second oldest European-founded city in the Americas (after Santo Domingo, which was officially founded on August 5, 1498.). The Old San Juan is a designated UNESCO World Heritage site, and it well captures all the richness of these resort looks.

Stay tuned next week for a flower punch embroidered look!

Enjoy!
