Coachella Festival goers

Summer’s A’Comin’: Coachella 2013 Fashion

Gentle reader,

A couple of interesting things happened on the fashion front in Southern California this past weekend:  the MTV Movie Awards and the Coachella Music Festival.  And when I say interesting, I use it in the way of when you meet a friend for lunch and she’s wearing some God-awful embroidered thing and you can’t say anything nice about her hair because that’s a mess, too, so you say, “Gosh, that’s an interesting frock you’re wearing.  Is it Peruvian?”

She’ll probably say, “No, it’s from Chico’s.  I got it on sale.”

Brazil!: Rocker Chic Accessories

Gentle reader,

Finally, I’ve found something to share with you other than $3,000 jackets.  I ran across a post in the Made In Brazil blog the other day about a new line of accessories and, always eager to shine the spotlight on the new and fabulous, I thought I’d share it with you.  Launched just last year, Brazilian label LAB Accessories is about to release their second collection called “Urban Indian” and though there is a slightly Indian flavor, the urban influence easily wins out.

The range currently available includes scarves for men or women priced at around $100 with either a tie-dyed look or a recurring skull motif reminiscent of Alexander McQueen,
