#AlasParaVolar Welcome Party, presented by Macy's
Frida Khalo was a revolutionary. She was the pinnacle for embracing and loving oneself no matter what. She’s a big inspiration to a lot of us. So get your #AlasParaVolar ready because we’re having a Frida-inspired cocktail party to start our weekend together off the right way! 

DANCE!

Chulita Vinyl Club, an all-girl crew that’s creating new spaces and empowering women of color to express themselves and their cultural heritage by spinning old records, will get the party started and us dancing the night away!

 CROWN YOURSELF!

Then, make sure to adorn yourself a-la-Frida with a very special flower crown from the talented Jessica Resendíz of Raggedy Tiff. You can either make your own along with her or pick one that’s already been made. It’s really going to complete your outfit so make sure to capture that!

SNAP THE ENERGY!

This promises to be an unforgettable moment full with Energy of Sisterhood and we’re collaborating with artists we admire. The insanely talented Samantha Santana is creating a Frida-inspired photo background with her beautiful wallpapers. The sister-brother duo, Denisse Cortés and Jeshua Viveros, are teaming up to co-create a wings mural so you capture your #AlasParaVolar.

¡SALUD!

When you need a little break from all the excitement, grab some tacos and stop by the Rumchata bar for some delicious drinks, courtesy of the brand. They’re also bringing a top mixologist to concoct all our cocktails so make sure to say ¡Hola!

If you’re looking for some outfit inspiration, make sure to check out our Pinterest board about all-things Frida
