"I'm a little bit [desert], and I'm a little bit rock 'n' roll"

Although New Orleans is a little too rainy to fully channel the desert, the last few days have had me thinking (wishing?) of Santa Fe, Burning Man, and Jim Morrison fueled nightmares (in a good way). Tribal has been in all spring and summer, but bringing a good mix of Navajo designs, "runway  tribal", and maybe a leather accessory (or two) will make you feel like you aren't dripping in a swamp.

As for my insatiable love for the beaded Mosley Sunglasses--I'm thinking I could buy this pair and glue an old friendship bracelet on the sides. 

Another DIY idea is to screenprint some zig-zags on a dress, - and spray paint the design on these adorable forever 21 yellow boat shoes

Fashion sidenote-

DO NOT OVER DO THIS LOOK. You will look like a hipster-halloween party. And you can't pull this off-- Andre Benjamin barely did.

If you do want to overdo it-- email Jen and ask if you can make this into a shirt

to wear at the same time.
