Dear Fashionistas,

As I prepare for an evening of relaxation and comfort at home, I was thinking about how nice it would be to be out in the wild, enjoying the sun, and thinking global. Where do I want to travel this year? Going somewhere and dressing the part are two different things.

As I think about it, this season’s global reach highlights Africa and colonial India as sources of inspiration. Start with contrasting earth tones, intricate wooden beads, and animal and block prints on delicate fabrics, the mood is a journey-into-the-wild offering luxurious and chic safari-styled clothing.
