I spent last week on a job working with a stylist on a shoot in San Miguel Allende Mexico. What struck me most about the little city was that color and detail was everywhere. From the little shops, to the buildings to the patterns on the doors. It seemed as if it was built just for us to shoot there.
So why not try to have a little fun this summer with your clothes? If you cant visit the destination, bring it to you. Mix patterns and colors without worrying about matching them perfectly. This dress from Marc by Marc Jacobs is a bit blatant, but any bold colored graphic pattern will do. Think ethnic charms with beads and raffia. In Mexico, idolatry is everywhere, and this cuff by
Virgins, Saints and Angels is actually made in San Miguel Allende!
Soon, you'll feel as if you left the world of basic black and journeyed to the other side of the world.
