So surprise, surprise. I brought my black lappy with me to the Bahamas! And while I'm on vacation, I knew that I wanted to capture a bit of Bahamian Chic.
My cousins took me to the Carnival...
I went with my early Christmas gift (a sleek Canon Powershot) determined to find some Real Style for y'all.
To prepare, I asked my cousin what was in style on the Island. She revealed:
1. Even though it averages 70 degrees here, any winter wear, including boots with fur were in.
2. Shoes and bag MUST match.
3. As long as your hair is done, the rest of your outfit can pass. She referred to a '28 piece' which is basically a complicated weave style that involves approximately 28 pieces (or more!).
I snapped this couple first...
Next, I had to stop this group...
This group...

I did catch up with some of the guys...
But then I took a close look at homeboy in the middle's shoes....
Anyway I'm having a delightful time with my cousins, eating loads of cracked conch, conch salad, Rice & Peas, Guava Duff, and Goombay Punch. I'm literally in heaven.
Hope you enjoy a wonderful holiday!
I'll be back stateside towards the end of the week.
Until then....
Smootches!
I think all cultures/groups have style. There are trends and traditions that everyone in that particular region know is hottt!! I say take a piece of each place you visit or know and you can create a totally new style!!

Hey boo! I'm so jealous! You had all that to eat already? You just got there! Well I guess eat some cracked conch and guava duff for me, and bring back some Goombay Punch if you can. It looks like your having lots of fun! I love the pictures you took. The first couple in the white is my favorite, they look really polished. Good post, I’m looking forward to seeing more Bahamian style.

ReplyDeleteI can't believe homboy still had the tag on his shoes! LOL...I agree with Genene and the couple in the white was my favorite.
