Around the World We Go

When it comes to spring and summer fashion, I don't think I love anything more than color. When you drape yourself in strong, vibrant colors it awakens the senses and you can't help but feel alive. Here in America, I think we tend to be a bit more conservative with our choice of color and patterns for fear of what others might think. But take a trip around the world, and color is all you will see. Besides the sampling of local cuisines and learning about other cultures, observing how people clothe themselves makes travelling to different countries my absolute favorite hobby.

Although the modern, cosmopolitan woman around the world might wear jeans and sun dresses just as we do in the United States, often reserved for traditional ceremonies and in rural villages these colorful ensembles are such beautiful expressions of the local cultures. Looking at these images cannot help but unleash positive vibes.

When it comes to personal style, don't take yourself too seriously. Enjoy the process of choosing pieces to drape over your body, just as you should enjoy chewing each delicatable bite from your favorite dish. Never be afraid to express your emotions, not just through your words, but through your image. If all of our senses were taken away, except for sight, I imagine that people would take more risks when it comes to fashion. Somehow, someway find inspiration in the simplest things.
