We sweated, we laughed, we swam, we got a little bit tanned, and of course, we danced A LOT. We’re still recovering from the crazy camping weekender at @diasdecampo_fest, and we can’t help but do a mental recap of the many top-tier selectors we vibed to during those four days. But if there’s one name that has to be highlighted, it’s the histrionic @realricardistas. Take a bow, ladies and gentlemen!
