Spotlight: Fiesta Hermosa Memorial Day Weekend

                    In downtown Hermosa Beach on Memorial Day weekend it was clear that summer was in the air. The whole town turned out for Fiesta Hermosa, the annual beach festival held on Memorial Day weekend every year.  The festival draws crowds from near and far for great shopping, food, and rides.
It was my lucky day and I found two-hour parking right on Pier Street.  As I walked the short block down the hill, I felt the cool sea breeze and smelled the delicious aroma of fried food.  Although the forecast had predicted cooler weather, even the sun came out for Fiesta Hermosa.  Visitors remarked how sunny it was and many opted for a rainbow shave ice as a snack.
The vendor tents lined Hermosa Avenue with a wide range of products to peruse.   I meandered among the crowd checking out each booth.  I was intrigued by the many home decorating items offered. One vendor sold bright hand-dyed beach sheets which can also be used as furniture or patio table covers.  Another sold hand sewn exquisite table runners. Many booths were filled with brightly colored beach clothes so I scoped out this summers latest trends. Check out the pictures below to find your next stylish summer look.


 Boho Gypsy
The traveling gypsy gets a new look this summer with an edgy twist. Colorful eastern prints and dark accents make this boho look, chic and fun.  From recycled maetal art to dark colors and amber jewelry this look redefines Bohemian. Tastes from the east inspire this trend with daring flavors of herbal tea like dragon fruit and chocolate orange. Watch out for this wicked look.
