Oh if only I could have been in Miami to see the shows! That was a great day to see many of my favorite swimwear designers. But when I think about my swimwear, I have to say that my cover ups are a bit lacking. I think they're cute but they tend to be an after thought and that just isn't an appropriate way to approach this portion of my closet! Tibi's line hit the runway and my favorite look happened to be this coverup! I love a great Boho Chic look and I love the whimsy that it is in this piece. This is definitely something that I would wear while in South Beach at my friend's condo or when you know you are going to a very chic poolside party! A great pair of Grecian sandals is the perfect way to touch off this look and of course a cute accessory or two! There are more great looks from this show available on Mercedes-Benz Swim Miami Fashion Week and of course you can see all the other amazing designers as well!

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.
