Corks + Caftans

Hecho en summertime.

August 19, 2010 11 Comments

Just going out to dinner, listening to some tunes during cocktail hour.

[Hecho en Cuba, Vol. II, featuring the leads from the Buena Vista Social Club.]

 

These Hecho en Cuba CDs are incredible… Ibrahim Ferrer is a magic man. I have volumes 1-3 and I’d take a zillion more. Highly recommend them—this music makes anything festive and is completely contagious. They transport me to Coconut Grove whenever we put them on… sitting outside at sidewalk cafes having classic Cuban black bean soup with a big spoonful of sour cream on top.

    Love it all, but seriously? With locks like that, you have to give a nod to someone—conditioner, DNA, hairdresser to the stars….

    love buena vista social club! i used to work in a vintage clothing store in california back in college, and we had racks and racks of those guayabera shirts, the music makes me wish i had kept a few for myself. the whole outfit is great, but i especially love the leather shorts, and the booties. 99 is a great price, are they well made?

      Extremely well made. ASOS has fantastic stuff for reasonable prices, I just love it.

    If I could whistle, I’d be whistling at this post (you know, like a creepy, old man type whistle).
