Style That's Giving Me Life: Celia



Telemundo recently began airing its 80-part series lovingly (if loosely) inspired by the life of the unequivocally fabulous chanteuse, Celia Cruz.  I've only caught one episode so far, but it brings all the high drama to the backstage of Havana's Tropicana Club that you would hope and expect from a telenovela.  At this point, the show follows the boundary-breaking Queen of Salsa in her early career.  Needless to say, being set in Havana in the 1950s, the costumes and sets are to die for.

To add a little Tropicana Club realness into your life, first and foremost, start with the gorgeous Chico & Rita (or Celia, if you're so inclined!)   Otherwise, here's brainstorming.
