FASHIONALISM ACCESSORIES

I've said it before: nothing beats June for a worldwide rollout of the finest Philippine fiña...er, piña. The month's patriotic spirit and (generally) warm weather lead to a magical global display of Pinoy colors and creativity -- and look great on Embassies and Consulates' social media!

Now, y'all know me: I'm a certified fashion influencer and trendspotter (not to mention 80's icon). This year, I declare the Foreign Service Post photo-op must-have du jour to be....accessories.
