Sightings

One of the designers from Cafe Con Leche @ Karu & Y on Saturday, the birthday party for one of the owners, Cesar Sotomayor...

What Impressed Me Today

Isn't this neat? Mi-Zo was featured in the spotlight on Iqons. Check it out...

New Fave Store

Julian Chang, Miami. I never bothered to even go in before since I knew I couldn't afford a thing ( a cardinal sin, I know, I know, I AM a fashion student so I do need to know what's going in there, cash or no cash) so when I finally had a little pocket money to spare I went in, lured by the "$20 SALE" sign. How bad could any item for sale in Julian Chang be? Let's just say I got the deal of a *LIFETIME* and I was lucky enough to meet the designer himself. From what I have seen he is calm, perceptive, and a graciuos gentleman. I am proud to be a student at the same school he hails from and I plan to continue to put in effort above and beyond what is taught in the classroom as he did. Inspiration and a closet update all in one. : )

Where were YOU on Wednesday night?

I know where I was...the afterparty for the launch of the new FTV studio on Lincoln Road. The party was at Gemma Lounge between Pennsylvania and Drexel and though I missed the Sofi Swimwear show the night was a huge success. Models, photographers, the fashionable set - - - maybe the FTV studio can bring the Miami fashion scene back to the point it was before. Only time can tell...

A Princess in Monaco

Here is Melodie, a licensed massage therapist from Delray Beach, on her June vacation to Europe which included Switzerland and Monaco (pictured here). This is outside of a real ball that she was lucky enough to be invited to and she worked the look completely from her cascading fire-hued curls and Chopard jewelry.

Summer Is Here

and if you can't tell that by the way your mascara melts as you hit the door...

Anyway, it's time to amend your wear and routines accordingly - starting off with making sure you have a well-selected stock of sexy, figure-flattering suits to hit the beach. My fave suits are from the Victoria's Secret catalog, most notably the brand SALINAS. For local shopping like on Lincoln Road I would suggest hitting up a local store that knows everything bikini such as Pagaz (1632 Collins) or for the higher price brackets waste no time in major department stores - hit up Alea and Rosa Cha immediately. (Hello? The Brazilians were sexy enough to create Alessandra and Adriana!)

M.A.C Lovers Read This!

I was there today & I needed a few necessities of the makeup persuasion so I pulled over, parked, & got down to business. An artiste who was as helpful as she was beautiful gave me the 411: M.A.C Cosmetics is coming out with a new and very colorful collection in the next few days. Expect anything from blue-tinted lipstick (perfect for da club, she says) to the most sun-shiny of yellow eye shadows...
