Humberto took this photo at an outdoor market. But have you browsed our own Argentinean mercado yet? 

Score a medium round flap bag from our Mercadito!
Pony hair detailing on this version of the flap bag

Here's a snap of the famous San Telmo market in Buenos Aires. Argentineans love shopping as much as we do!The Argentinean pieces Carol and Humberto brought back have a lot of spirit, as embodied in this print.

Here it is on the Bandoleiro sweatheart frill dress

Another favorite piece of mine is of our most intricate, the House of Matching Colours palmtree birthday dress

Lace and sequins, oh my!This dress is very delicate, so please treat with care.

Here's the El Camarin sleeveless mesh dress w/taping. It's completely made of mesh! (The tube dress pictured doesn't come with it.) Detail of the very cool taping Another favorite (also see-through), the loosely knit House of Matching Colours ghost dress

Sparkly!

Most of the dresses in this post are completely sheer and cannot be worn alone. For these numbers, wear a slip or tube dress underneath! Have you tried OC Intimates? Another Argentine favorite is the House of Matching Colours alina's vest Check out the super soft leather "feathers" on the back of the vest. And how cool is that stitching? The Maria Pryor ergo textura trousers are actually polyester and cotton, but they resemble textured leather See?

How sick are these Mishka college 3-eye wooden sole shoes? That's mirrored, gold-textured leather!Here they are in action on the streets of Buenos Aires, where Carol wore them out the night she got them...

...for the Argentinean nightlife, of course!

Viva la noche! Below are a few other things that caught Carol and Humberto's eye on the streets of Argentina... Until next time! xx

Behind the Seams: USA vs. Argentina
by Rachel Liu
Ever wonder while surfing the OC site, "Just how sheer is that fabric?" Or maybe, "Are those shoes actually comfortable?" What about, "How much could I really fit into that bag?" Well, I actually know that you do––I handle customer service and webstore operations! Taking what I hear from you, I'll be blogging about the details of our most popular items! Join me as I go Behind the Seams. Next up: Argentina at OC!

If I wasn't sure about visiting Argentina before, I definitely want to go now! Until that happens though, I'm lucky to have Opening Ceremony to bring Argentina to me. Featuring details such as sequins, pony hair (you know I love that pony hair!), and lace, Argentina brought to you by OC features a collection of goodies that are so-very-Argentina while also being so-very-OC. Check out the details of some of my favorite pieces as we look back on Carol and Humberto's visit to Buenos Aires, the trip that started it all!

Shop all Argentina designers, and peruse the Mercadito, too!
