International Inspiration

I've always been enamored with other cultures- especially exotic ones like Egypt, India, China and Japan. My sister reminded me recently how when I was growing up, my room was decorated differently in each corner which I called "culture corners"! One corner was Japan and among other things that escape my memory, had beautifully decorated Japanese masks on the wall and one of those hanging scrolls with characters and scenery on them. Isn't it funny how we forget these things we loved?
What made me think of all this is my trip last week right outside my door here in savannah to the SCAD international festival.















A treasure trove of Egyptian fabrics and finds. The red piece is a real work of art- the silver in it you see is all threaded with some kind of aluminum by hand (would have originally been hammered with real silver!)
Here are some of my favorites...





Love the bright color combinations and the brightly woven fabric in their braids!






























I think this traditional Indian men's costume fits so nicely and looks really sleek- would love to see more men in this!





Love the red heels with this- perfect choice for the outfit!
Festivals like this are always prime for street fashion inspiration too. Here are some looks on passer-byers I liked...





I love how this girl accessorized a traditional costume with cheetah printed platforms and purse. Im also loving the way her scarf flows from the back. This is a look I would wear!
I'm loving the bright color combos below...















Blue and red are such perfect colors together- I love how primary they look! If your shy to mixing bold colors adding your other color via a bold necklace (or scarf like this lady) is a good way to start.
