Situated
inside on the eastern side of the Franklin Mountains, Mckelligon Canyon is not
only a destination for popular rock-climbing and outdoor recreational
adventures; it is also an area imbued with Indigenous roots with Spanish
colonial history connecting Mexico and the United States via the border town of
El Paso. The desert canyon walls and scenic views of Mckelligon Canyon are
sources of inspiration and the perfect setting for styling and accessorizing a
timeless classic wardrobe piece: the little black dress. From casual to chic
and vintage to elegance, the scenery of the trails, the historical features of
the canyon and the outdoors amphitheater accentuate the versatility of the
little black dress. The popularity of the little black dress stemming from the
simple albeit elegant designs of Coco Chanel served as an inspiration to style
four distinct black dresses with different patterns, fabrics, and lengths. From
a casual wear on a sunny afternoon to an elegant look for evening date at an
outdoor amphitheater, the little black dress is a versatile, timeless, and an accessible
piece that is essential to complete a woman’s wardrobe.

Once a vibrant and thriving Marine Corps Air Station, the military and cultural legacy of El Toro lives in the service men/women and community members who visit the site— now a community park with a carousel, air balloon, and gardens. On Valentine’s Day, USMC El Toro is a perfect place to take a stroll on a sunny day with the one I love to honor and celebrate his service in the military as a former Marine. I embrace this special occasion wearing comfortable yet elegant outfits with the perfect blend of colors and accessories to enjoy a memorable Valentine's Day moment with my love.
