Toledo, Spain
1977
“My native Puerto-Rican mom was a nurse in the Air Force
before meeting my father, also an Air Force officer. Stationed near Madrid,
Spain, in the mid-Seventies, our family went on several day trips like this one in
1977 Toledo, where Mom displayed her uncanny knack for fashion even on this
dusty, sweltering afternoon spent climbing ruins after a long day’s drive in a
cramped Renault 5. Here, her lilac-rimmed sunglasses alone raise the fashion
stakes to an all-time high! All throughout my youth, my mother was consistently
and appropriately chic during every moment of any given day; she dressed me accordingly as a girl, and
even now I always view an outfit through her eyes before putting my own spin on
it. My mom remains my style icon, for
still being beautiful, exotic, stylish and tasteful. I love you, Mom!"
