Best Props For Pretending You Just Got Back From A Tropical Vacation
Se Vende Imports

Even if you didn't get away for a beach vacation this winter (i.e., if you weren't part of the mid-winter exodus to Mexico, Costa Rica, or Puerto Rico), you can pretend that you did — you can even pretend that you're still there, basking in the sun's rays — thanks to Se Vende Imports, a new shop on Market Street. The store is full of brightly colored, cheerful items that you'd purchase from Mexican street vendors, such as pottery, woven rugs, Day of the Dead art paraphernalia, and jewelry. Oh, the jewelry! Chunky, flashy, wooden, silver, quirky, elegant — it's all here. Bestow these gifts on others, or display them in your own home; either way, you'll inspire daiquiri-making and feisty behavior. How better to gear up for summer than to pretend you're beachbound year-round?
