Ralph Lauren Spring 2013 | Runway

The Ralph Lauren girl likes to travel. The countryside of England, the American Southwest — she frequents those places often, and over the course of several decades, those locales have seeped quite seamlessly into her elegant American sportswear look.

But for Spring 2013, she's headed to new, uncharted territory: Spain and Latin America. And, actually, come to think of it, it's surprising that she hasn't been there before. Ruffles, embroideries, blanket stripes, beads, lace, and fringe — they're all things she's comfortable in. Especially when they come in the form of romantic silhouettes paired with her favorite side-leaning beret.
