It starts tonight! Yesterday was the kick off party at The Raleigh Hotel and now the runways come alive when the sun begins to go down. What a great way to see all of your shows and then head right out to whatever parties are going on. Here is an image, courtesy of the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Show, from Red Carter who will show tomorrow evening. I love this bathing suit that is a great mix of ethnic/tribal prints!

This is definitely my favorite suit. I love the pops of blue and the red that are throughout this suit. Also can we talk about the fact that the jewelry they used would be amazing with so many dresses that you have in your closet whether they are plunging, strapless and more! I will definitely have images of this show and can't wait to share this and much more with you from the show!

We are now in bikini season, you never know when you want to go out. There are times when you know you're going to the lake or the beach house and then there are times when you don't know that you're about to go somewhere amazing. I love the fact that you know that in a pinch you can get a pedi/mani in a jiffy! Whether you can get your appointment or you're a little tight on cash, you can always whip out an amazing nail color and make yourself look fabulous and your nails of course will look very luxe!

But now that we are all wearing our bathing suits, we need to make sure that we always look smooth and fab! The Personal Groomer by Artemis Woman ensures that our Brazilians, underarms, nose hairs and so much more will never be a problem! Not only will we have a quick fix but we have the joy of knowing that this comes in a small container that can be slipped in our bag and with one battery to power it, this is never something heavy so there is absolutely no excuses. This weekend I was in Long Beach and it was nice to do some touch-ups and to know that I would never have to worry! This is a must in our kits and there is a cute little brush that will take away any extra hairs to make it clean for future uses. Take some time to check out Artemis Woman's site to see more about this product.

I think these shorts are super cute and definitely put me in the mind set of being at home, on your roofdeck, your friend's balcony, etc. They are so cute and just easy to wear even on the hottest of days. The Kritik Soto Short, available on ShopBop, has a little sassy sweet blend going on with its ruche detailing, ribbed elastic banding and mesh at the hem. It's not only available in this sunny color but also grey and white which I am such a fan of! If you love the shorts, you'll love the cute top that is paired with this; however, I would just wear this with a tank or wear it to cover up your bathing suit when you are running downstairs to grab more beverages from your local bodega!

Growing up, I was sad when I had to take my favorite summer pieces and fold them away to make way for all that was winter. I felt ludy Rudy from the Cosby show when she really wants to wear this plaid dress, but the weather has turned and her mother refuses to let her wear it. I always liked that episode. But now, have you noticed how people can still by spring/summer pieces year around AND you don't get crazy looks. I also love the fact that when it starts to get seriously cold, the topic of conversation in the office turns to February getaways in the islands! With that said, we need to have constant access to summer wear. If you don't feel like shopping in stores and want something with a little flavor, try these fun designs by Echo Designs that they carry coverups, shorts and much more. This is perfect for laying out, long nights dancing and the moments of purchasing amazing finds in little boutiques. Take a peek at what's here and remember that as you build your closet for this season, you can always purchase for the next or a future location. My favorite piece is the second from the right. I love that this is perfect for South Beach (my favorite place). It can start out as a great late afternoon cocktail dress and lead right into the perfect night for dancing as well. I love the pops of color and the design as well which ensures that you'll have an amazing time no matter when you wear this.
